It’s really tedious when people keep talking about the weather. Unfortunately, it seems like we’re at that time of year when that’s all everyone does. And I’ve found that being far away from my friends is causing many a ‘four Yorkshiremen’-style battle of one-upmanship between my feet of snow and their feet of rain. My… Read More My amis and me in Miami
It has come to my attention that I’ve been neglecting my blog slightly over the festive period. Never mind the fact that the person (*cough*Mum*cough*) pointing that out for me was actually in the same room receiving live tales of my time in New York and leafing through my very numerous collection of photos. I… Read More A Catch Up
Hmm. I do believe it to be time for a catch up. I realise I’ve gone quiet again the past couple of weeks but in my defense, I made the snap decision to write a novel this month. It wasn’t just me. NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is a thing that people participate in all… Read More A merry Geek Week to us all…
My friend Jess and I have a tradition. It’s legitimately earned that title now that we’ve done it multiple times. Well, two. Which is still more than one, and therefore multiple. We jam. With jam. We have a jam jam. Or, I suppose, technically we have an ‘apple sauce’ jam, but that’s far less pleasingly… Read More We’re Jammin’
Two weeks ago, a very special thing happened. People probably read about it in the national press. People may have heard whispers about it in the street. There is a chance people even felt the earth shake.Put simply, it was important. I finally achieved a two-show day. For years I have been an unabashed, deeply… Read More The Holy Grail
After I ran the Brooklyn half marathon I went on an extremely foolish spree of booking more races. Well, I booked two. But considering the size of this country and the number of races available at convenient times etc etc etc, as well as the price of the things, it felt like a little binge… Read More Chicago-go-go!
I went to Philadelphia. If I’m honest it was quite a long time ago at this point, but I think we’ve all acknowledged that I’m a generally terrible person and I’m making an effort to catch up. Since moving from a flat I didn’t particularly like to an awesome one that I love (Of which… Read More I’ve Got A Philly-ng
Very few towns like British people less than Boston. They have a pretty long history of… It feels wrong to say ‘defying us’ but, well… defying us. Boston was, to generalise massively as is my wont, where the American revolution came from. So, naturally, four Brits drove up there to show them exactly what they were… Read More Boston a Move
I’ve started ruining songs again. You know when you hear a song you like and then you play it seven thousand times until you never, ever want to hear it again? I’m about midway through that with a song from the show we went to see the weekend before last. Many people will be familiar… Read More A weekend a Week Late
At 6:15 on Saturday morning everyone was woken up by a very chipper text message informing them that if this was, indeed, their wake-up call, they were already late. We had to be in Chinatown, packed lunches in hand, by 7:45 a.m. and with maybe five minutes to spare, we all made it. Our journey… Read More Falling for Niagara
