My poor mum has been offline for the best part of a week. A week! Virgin Media should hang its head in shame that it took seven days to get someone out to fix an issue with their junction box – next time she’ll be repairing it herself with a pair of pliers and some [...]

It is Monday night and Alex is off playing tennis; I can’t watch Prison Break because he is not here and I don’t have enough spare time to view it twice (but it did cross my mind). So after I finished myrequisite hours of study I settle down with Derailed which is conveniently being shown [...]
My Granny Moth taught me that these should be the first words uttered on the first of the month; to welcome it and bring good luck. Ideally it is best to say them in front of kin, for the simple reason that they are familar with the tradition and wont look at me strangley (or [...]
I hauled my arse to yoga last night even though I had forgotten my mat and yoga pants. I needed to go to yoga that badly that I was willing to struggle through 90 mins in my non-stretchy, fitted combats. It was not pretty and a few times I was convinced that they were going [...]

It was performed in modern Greek with subtitles. I was a bit worried about keeping up as I am not familiar with this play. But, it was easy to [...]
The Muse escapes me at the moment, I am floundering with bloggers block and Darkly Dreaming Dexter has left me with a bad case of alliteration (I sent out a meeting request today with the title ‘Power Point Presentation for Possible Perusable Projects’). I’ve just taken a fluorescent pink antihistamine in an attempt to stop [...]
Yesterday I walked out of the apartment with blue knees. After deliberating over my sock draw for a good few minutes I grabbed a pair of tights that of course, in the cold light of day, turned out to be navy. I am turning into my mother. On shopping trips and at home she would [...]
(Why does tomorrow have to be Monday?) My nose hurts, my eyes hurt and I’ve got a headache. My nose hurts because I’m full of cold. My eyes hurt because I spent this morning in bed reading The Time Traveler’s Wife and the last 60 pages were so sad that I cried all the way [...]
In the past week have spent that much time shuttling between Penn Station and Flushing Meadows that I might as well move to the outer borough. I went to my first baseball game on Monday night, the New York Mets versus a team that was a little bit better than them. We had excellent box [...]
