Over the course of the last few months I have made a number of new acquaintances, friends and people that I have reconnected with that have really inspired me. Past uni folk, people that I have met up with through Twitter engagement and through work. These people are smart, kind and thoughtful. Great stuff.

If you watched the Eurovision Song Contest last week (like me) you may have enjoyed the excellent flash mob of Europeans (and folk from other countries close[ish] to Europe) dancing away during the interlude before the scoring started. My friend Rhian is fascinated by the flash mob and has pronounced it “The new karaoke”. Flash [...]

I met a friend Holly for lunch today, lovely food, great company and a good catch-up. Holly had been at the National Portrait Gallery and gave me a lovely postcard with a picture of Charles Dickens on the front (see below). I thought nothing more of it and returned to the office for a fun [...]

We have an election here in the UK next week. I’ve already cast my vote both in the local and national election (with a postal vote). I didn’t vote Tory (aka Conservatives, a right-wing party for the non-UK readers) but this game came up at a dinner party… Your Tory name is made up of [...]

It is my birthday in two days (37 years wise) and my friends and family all clubbed together to get me a digital SLR. We just got back from the photography shop. I’ve unwrapped it and started to work through the manual – much fun and really looking forward to developing a new hobby. I [...]

After more than three months of not blogging (which did include four weeks of holiday) I am back tending my weblog. So why the absence? Well I had to make a conscious decision over the Christmas holiday to take enforced leave from social media engagement (especially about getting my pants in too tight a virtual [...]

(SEE UPDATE FROM 28 DECEMBER BELOW) On Sunday night we meet up with friends on Upper Street in Islington. We hadn’t booked a restaurant and as we drove across town (running half an hour late) we decided to go to Browns Restaurant (everyone knew where it was). Had a fun time catching up in the [...]
