My birthday party

Favourite CardsLive your dreams!(except for the one where you’re being eaten by the giant spider)Claire and Philip Fayers gave me this card, which I particularly enjoy. The cartoon picture of the spider baring its teeth is particularly cute and amusing – I’ll have to upload a picture of it. (A picture of a fort with […]

Feeling considerably better today. Yesterday evening I wrote a bit of explanation about my earlier post… I scared myself today. While in the library this morning, I had a look at abook. I don’t remember the title, but it caught my eye because it was about oneof the many things that are wrong in this […]

Lunch break

Just nipped into the library while on my lunch break from working at Kwik Save. Just a few random points: Next week I’m off to the FIEC Conference at Pwllheli. I’ll be seeing some Contagiousites and other friends there, so I’m looking forward to that! Rich is also coming to stay, so it’ll be nice […]

Lazy day

“It’s not a proper weekend unless you spend your time doing something totally pointless” said Calvin (the cartoon character accompanied by his toy tiger Hobbes, not the theologian, that is). While I don’t entirely agree, there is a particular pleasure to just doing nothing much. After a hectic few weeks rushing around and writing essays […]

Adventures in London

This morning I got up in London, and by 11 am was breezing off the train, strolling across the road and into my first lecture of the day back here in Cardiff. Isn’t our transport system wonderful? I went across to London for the weekend to see some very wonderful and lovely people from Contagious […]

Snow! But not much…

Late this afternoon it started snowing heavily. Great big, fat floaty flakes, doing crazy dances in the wind as they whirled around frantically, as if trying to escape the inevitable touchdown and oblivion as they melted into a watery slush. My flatmates and I all bundled out and played Frisbee in the snow, and I […]

The Hunting of a House

The search for a house for next year is on! Yesterday Steve, Ben, Ian and myself went to look at our first potential house (Tom, the fifth housemate, couldn’t make it then). We decided it was too small – the living room was barely big enough for five people to comfortably be in there, let […]
