A little trip down memory lane for me is always a jaunt around South Ken to see the museums. I love them dearly, and when we were kids, we went there all the time. My favourite was always the Natural History Museum.
The Victorian architecture is, even now, quite scary but there [...] Read more »
I’m really looking forward to this weekend.
I need some rest.
I’ve been working hard.
Here is my walk to the station from work… Read more »
Yes, yes, yes, everyone is doling out credit crunch savings tips like there’s no tomorrow but who’s doing it with style, panache and elegance (pronounce: ay-lay-gants please!)?

As I sat down to enjoy my beautifully prepared lunch yesterday, things took a drastic about turn. My cosy domestic bubble burst in the manner of a very large party balloon being pricked by a very large, sharp pin.
My mobile phone trilled, !NUMBER WITHHELD! flashed on the screen – Ok, better put my professional/together [...] Read more »
It must be a sign of age, but I could hardly move yesterday after my night on the town. The heady combination of being out, red wine, loud music, high heels and dancing, is just too much of an assault on my senses to have no lasting effect. I spent most of the day lying down in a darkened room and laughing occasionally as I gradually pulled together my evening’s highlights. Read more »
After an hour with a recruitment consultancy, meeting two great people who I hope will be able to nudge me in the right direction, it was time to pace the pavements of Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Street and Regent Street to walk off the effects of a very strong coffee and kill time before the [...] Read more »
