I feel the blog's taken a bit of a boring turn since I got back from SG. I guess in one way that's to be expected because Singapore was new and exciting and London isn't.  I'll try and do some more exciting things to make it more interesting to read though. I was checking out this guy's site the other day and felt inspired, now I fancy a microadventure - not sure how I feel about camping in the open though. What if a fox pees on you or something?  Either way check out his site - if only for the beautiful photography. This week's been pretty lame.  Thursday I was struck down with a disease (being melodramatic as always) and was bedridden for 3 days (this bit's true).  Gutted as I missed out on a work night out on Friday which are always fun.  I also now can't taste anything which is really rubbish as I do love my food. I was so ill I only ate half a kebab on Friday night - that's unheard of! Saturday I went to see 12 Years a Slave.  Horrific horr

All work and no play makes me really grumpy

This week's been a bit crazy at work - I had 4 tenders to do this week (one of them I had to do in a day because the person I was doing it for got the due date wrong - he owes me lots of favours now).  To put it into perspective, you usually get about 2 weeks to do these tenders, so this week has been very busy indeed. It wasn't helped by stupid trains being delayed every day, and I was an hour late the one day I needed to be in early to send a document off to a client. It meant that by Friday I was totally frazzled and ended up not going out for a friend's birthday which I felt bad about, but I was truly shattered and crashed out in front of the telly then went to bed at 10pm, rock and roll!!!!  On the plus side, I went to the gym on Thursday after a particularly stressful day, and the gym was AMAZING.  I did more than usual and was totally focused on it and was on such a high after. Perfect stress buster!  I did however, over work my arms and they have been killing me a

Cambridge, Kites and debates

My dinner went well last week.  I didn't poison anyone which was a start.  Dinner topics ranged from the man with two penis's (penii?), to past Big Brother series, to the incestuous town they found recently in Australia.  I learnt a lot. it certainly ain't pretty but it was yummy This week has been really busy with work - I am basically doing three jobs due to staff shortages (4 if you count still supporting Singapore).  Not complaining though, busy is good! Thursday I went speed dating with two friends.  It was really disappointing this time - no one weird, everyone fairly normal!! So no funny stories.  I met one guy who is a celebrity blogger and another who is a producer on Big Brother. That's the most interesting thing.  It was in Islington though and I never go out there so that made a nice change. Went to Byron for the first time too - wasn't that great, the burger reminded me of a cake or something because it just looked so perfect and shiny.  Readi

Hello 2014, welcome to Booze Hell

I welcomed 2014 lying on the floor of the living room complaining I had been poisoned and was about to be sick.  Rob had to carry me upstairs to the toilet where I was sick for apparently 2 hours, carried to bed by Lisha (being a nurse she was the only one who wasn't grossed out by my state), slept for a few hours then continuously vomited for a further 8 hours. I didn't get out of bed till 3pm the next day.  Hooray! Needless to say my new years resolution is to not drink myself silly, and I'm trying to abstain from drinking in January completely. Asides the fact I was hideously ill (self inflicted - werthers vodka tasted a bit too delicious as did apple juice and firecracker whisky), our new years party was good fun. arm wrestle challenge disco room! Unfortunately Ditch was really ill and couldn't make it, meaning Becky also didn't come as she felt bad leaving him alone. such a good girlfriend!! However we still had a good turn out, enough
