Sometimes it takes losing a competition to realise that something has gone missing. I *could* have been going to the US (turn’s out I’m not), so I wanted to check my passport to see if my Visa was still valid. That sparked a pretty intensive search around the house with the net result that I [...]

It’s been strange though, I’ve been feeling nauseous all day and had fever most of yesterday and last [...]

You might have read in my previous blog posts that I’m currently on a mission to lose some weight, keeping my calories down to 1500 a day. It seems to be working well, but it also means that I’m reading more about the subject too. I came across a great post that talks about why [...]

Camille and Arthur are traveling back to the Isle of Man tomorrow, so after a week of spouselessness, things should be returning back to normal. It’s funny how their absence reminded me of how it was when I was commuting here initially. I would fly here on a Monday and fly back home at the [...]
