  1. Nostalgia...

    I decided to look up an old band I loved when I was about 14 and see what they were up to.

    Turns out they're touring a full 20 years after the release of their biggest selling album and doing the fashionable thing that bands do now and playing the whole album in full from start to finish live.

    That made me look up a couple of other bands from those days.

    Then I started looking up some of the TV shows these bands appeared on like Zig & Zag, MTV's Most ...

  2. Just one little click...

    All I had to do was depress the mouse button once and what did I do? I hovered, finding things to distract me whilst all the while the email sat there, daring me to send it.

    Weird isn't it how we become creatures of habit so easily?

    I really used to enjoy my job, then recently I realised that the job as it was, has been gone for a long time. I found myself stuck in a routine with no rewards or goals and I had to ask myself why? Like a comfy pair of slippers which have ...

  3. Living on a hill...

    Yesterday was bliss, just 3-4 inches of snow and I knew from experience there was no way to make it up the hill on which I live. Being at the bottom of said hill and at the end of a cul-de-sac (that's French for cul-de-sac incase you were wondering) means there was nowhere else for me to go but back to bed for an hour before firing up my laptop and working from home. The hard work was occassionally interrupted by Oliver wanting to be entertained, or to go and watch other hapless neighbours making ...

  4. Start as you mean to go on...

    Ooops! My cold wasn't THAT bad and yet still I used it as the excuse to bail out of training last night so that I could spend some time with H and Oliver after the culture shock of being back at work for 8 hours yesterday.

    Sometimes it's difficult getting back in the groove after a break, at least that's what I keep telling myself.

    Today's whinge - "Yes I know it's cold and icy but on main treated roads I think it's probably safe to do more than 20mph after pulling ...

  5. Happy New Year? My arse!

    The first day back at work after the break for Christmas, as if the misery of returning to the 9-5 (or 8-4:30 in my case) wasn't enough, everyone insists on their first words to me being 'Happy New Year'. I mumble back "same to you" before going on with the original question I was about to ask.

    I am still trying to figure out why I find this so annoying! Is it because, afterall, today is just another day? Is it because I don't understand the hype of the diets and resolutions, ...
