  • Back in office…

    … Three words to strike a note of gloom, if ever I heard any. On a par with ‘put on weight?, ‘aren’t you invited?’ and ‘tax bill’s arrived’, in my book. And not massively helped by tomorrow being my next Prof appointment. Funnily enough I can’t concentrate for shit in the office when one of…

  • Airport Schmairport

    So, the thrilling events of today (Sunday) so far: 7.15am: Got up. As I was for once first into the kitchen, discovered that Mum’s helper Silviya has been filling Mojo’s daily foodpots to the brim, no wonder she’s getting as fat as her mum & dad. Mojo, that is, not Silviya. 8.15am: Legged it to…

  • ‘Fruit Juice is My Friend’

    ‘Fruit juice is my friend’, ‘fruit juice is my friend’, ‘fruit juice is my friend’, fruit juice is my friend’…… Wonder how many times I’ll need to repeat that this week, while I’m on this SuperJuice diet??????
