Americans replace their toothbrushes on average only 1.9 times per year. Grim. But how often do they go out of town, even for a day or two? Forgetting your toothbrush and having being forced to buy a new one might end up solving all sorts of problems to do with plaque nasties.
Just a post-travel, pre-Easter-chocolate-fest […]
In true grown-up-before-our-time fashion, us Ealing folk have been regularly partaking in a local pub quiz under the genius name of Crouching Woman, Hidden Cucumber for nearly a year. It mainly entails us ending up with a middling score (apart from weeks when there are questions on The Wizard of Oz) and listening to the […]
I was tagged for this meme a while ago by Meg and have spent the intervening weeks struggling to think of noteworthy quirky facts about myself. There aren’t many. But I tried.
I have a forked uvula
A rather strange trait that my sister and I share is our strange bifid uvula: that is, the dangly bit […]
The more grown-up member of our little Ealing cohort is about to move in with her other half to a love nest on the other side of the city. This means we’re looking for a housemate, and given that we’ve decided to advertise I need a bit of advice.

Got those New Term blues? Never mind - there’s 80 minutes of gritty nineties throwback to look forward to on Tuesday evening as it’s finally time for This Life - Ten Years On.
We’ll be watching it with Soave in Anna’s honour.
Another year over - and in contrast to 2005, 2006 has felt a bit, well, flat. There have been no major upheavals, and aside from completing my first 10k run, I don’t feel like I achieved any major goals. Not the best feeling.
So, in order to kick-start some positive thinking for 2007, I’m going to […]
Each year, my dear mother makes ever-more-inventive attempts to force me into eating a fistful of brussels sprouts as part of the Christmas day festivities. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fussy eater. I’ve no qualms about devouring oysters, and I’ll happily quaff a kumquat mojito, but the prospect of munching soggy, […]
All red wine will be mulled before drinking. It will be the law.
That’s all.

Is officially how long it takes a Simon to run 10 kilometres in Hyde Park on a Sunday morning. It was tremendously hard going - I found it difficult to deal with the adrenaline ups and downs caused by the volume of people inflicting lime green and bright orange abuse […]
Three months ago I decided to put myself through 10,000m of bewilderment by signing up to Nike Run London in Hyde Park. Funny how time flies: the run is next Sunday. My weekly training regime has mostly consisted of:
2 runs per week around the leafy parks of Ealing, becoming progressively more lengthy
2 hour-long sessions of […]
