Back from Greekyland
So – just back from our week at Neilson in Lemnos – still can't quite believe I've done another 'resort-based' holiday (yuk, yuk, eeky eek), nor – even worse – that I seem to have flown home on a Thomas Cook airplane surrounded by a thousand bawling toddlers. I think that when I dropped half…

Welshy Wales
Didn't want this week's gloomy post to overshadow the very lovely weekend we had in sunny (yes really) Wales with Mr, Mrs and Minimus Martin over the Bank Hol. Was a splendid reminder that: 1. 4 hours walking simply has to be interspersed with a pub stop, sit down, food or preferably a combination of…

The second person
Fuck – actually had quite a decent day in the office, catching up on stuff, filing emails, sorting out bits and pieces, getting on top of all the mindless small stuff - and then I get one of those call that totally takes the wind out of your sails, and you realise what a total waste of…

Latest Prof – All OK
Well, the inevitable shitty day came and went yesterday – having avoided Prof like the Plague (almost as bad as the Big C) I finally had to succumb to a trip to soggy Parkside for a check up, blood test, pee in a cup, dance on a pin head etc. Pretty torrid session – my…

Back briefly.. thinking of the BA Miles…
Hey peeps, Have finally emerged from my bleary eyed, where-the-hell-am-I post-travels stupor, with my cat on my head, my bloody cough back in chesty residence and my puffy eyebags heading steadily south down my chops. Only to somehow already find myself repacking for the annual AV Directors Awaydays (remember how fun those are, those of you…

Sleepless in Saigon
Didn't they (nearly) make a film about this once?? Here I am, sitting in a distinctly beige bedroom that could be pretty much anywhere. Having decided that it was too late to order room service – we were given precisely two prawns and some mini-micro Oompa Loompa sized asparagus on the plane – I have just…

Agosto
Well, its just about holding off from peeing down so technically I believe this is still summer. Am just back from the first of the Asian exodi (my guess at the plural of exodus, to keep you pedants happy) – where it also honked down with monster rain, ensuring every one of the 15 oh-so-amusing-and-original…

Travelly, Travelly
Blimey, it's going to be a busy few weeks – so just in case you i) think I'm out having wild times with every other chum except you, or ii) off on an amazing holiday (I wish) or iii) a lazy cow who hasn't updated her blog in a while, my travelly dates are: Sun…

The Singularity of Stress
It's a funny thing, stress. Obviously not 'laugh out loud' funny, or we'd all be out bottling and selling it, instead of trying to avoid it, deny it or flick metaphorical V signs at it, in an attempt to dodge its octopi-like fronds as they snarf you in. How can something so clearly invisible feel so bloody…

Lowest form of scumbag life
So – Rach came down from Manchester on Wed eve, and went off to pick her up at Earlsfield station. Car was parked for all of 6 minutes I reckon, and I was watching it – but someone else I know came out of the station as I was waiting and said hi to me –…
