Olympics? ‘Fraid So
August 28, 2004 | 1 Comment
Okay, I confess for the second time in the last two weeks that I’ve been watching the Olympics. What a great night to be watching though - forgetting the jingoism of the “”Woo! Two more gold medals for Britain” crowd, I was just incredibly impressed by the drama and achievement of it all. […]

We seem to be into the late Summer wedding explosion at the moment - half the people I know are attending a wedding sometime over the next few weeks (even discounting the large block of people I know who will be at Dave and Octavia’s of course).
The reason David is away is that one of […]

And amazingly, the reason I’m still up and about isn’t my old friend insomnia, it’s that David’s away for a couple of nights and has left his PlayStation 2 in my safe keeping. Obviously he#s not getting it back, because he also left Ratchet and Klank 2 with it, and it’s so much fun […]

Feels So Real

I know it’s been real ever since I asked David to marry me, but now it seems really real - we went out last night with Gerard and Lizzie, and not only did they give us our first engagement card, it was also the first thing we’ve received addressed to us as a couple.
It’s the […]

I probably shouldn’t, but what the hell.
You may have heard of the Naked News, if not, where have you been?
Cartoonist/Comic Artist Chip Zdarsky (rather bravely) put his own tribute to the art of stripping while presenting news items online, and I’m here spreading the word.
It should go without saying that this isn’t even remotely work-safe.

I Confess…

….Yes, shameful though it is, I confess i watched some of the Olympics over the weekend. I watched rowing, cycling, some athletics, and the last stages of the swimming.
And generally-speaking, jolly exciting it was too.

The Birthday-Plus Drinks
August 18, 2004 | 2 Comments
As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I’m having my birthday drinks a bit early this year, on the 3rd of September, and David and I have decided to make it also a party to celebrate the engagement, so it’ll be a little bigger than usual.
I did a mailing with details yesterday to the people […]

And not by love and passion for a change.
Did you see that news footage of the flooding in Boscastle on Monday? There was some amateur video footage of it on the TV news last night that was absolutely astonishing. The cars, vans, and lord knows what else being swept along the streets and […]

Time Planning
August 16, 2004 | 3 Comments
One weird side effect of suddenly being encoupled is the need to organise one’s life to a greater degree than has been the case for a while. Basically, David and I already had much of the coming month or two mapped out as individuals before we decided to link our lives together, so we’ve […]
