So back on English soil for my first full week. Alarmingly its only Wednesday & I’m cream crackered already (I think its all the intense catching up I’m trying to do). Fortunately all the deadlines I was panicking about before I went away were met and I’m starting to see the results. Firstly the article Read more about Touch down[…]
So I left you intrepid readers at the close of the day on Friday with a full two days of adventures still to go. Saturday morning we awoke to see overcast skies and the promise of rain. Hey we thought, it only looks like rain and we are on holiday it won’t rain. Yes, I Read more about Onto Dartmoor we go, holiday part 2[…]
So the weekend just gone Sam and I headed to the coast. The coast in Devon that is, sea is pretty much the only thing that Oxford is missing so we went to see it (see/sea what I did there?).

So this weekend I headed back to the smoke that used to be my home to visit old work colleague and awesome friend Zoe.

Okay so went home Wednesday night totally psyched to ‘attack’ my violin lesson (after two weeks of almost crawling there filled with flu to sneeze over Robin) and the return to the homestead to finish the what seems to be millions of reviews and articles that I seem to have promised to write sometime now-ish.

Despite this and some Read more about All the fun of the fair[…]
Yesterday was very exciting for the following reasons. 1. The network at work went down and try and they might IT couldn’t fix it so they sent us home (albeit with work to do). 2. I got to see Patrick Wolf at the Zodiac (yes I know technically its the O2 but to me it Read more about AWWWWWWWOOOOOooooooooo[…]
The weather here in Oxfordshire is being really strange of late, when I go out I don’t know what to wear as I have absolutely no idea what weather is coming. This was perfectly illustrated this morning, before I got up it was a torrential downpour but this afternoon when I was doing some very Read more about Weather with you[…]
So my May day long weekend was quite hectic, I took Friday off and got up at 5am to try and make it into Oxford for the May Day celibrations.

Yes indeed, it is the play that I am am going to see tonight by the very brilliant Creation Theatre Group (http://www.creationtheatre.co.uk/), I’m very excited but I have to remind myself that unlike Love’s Labours Lost Othello is pretty much ‘the horror, the horror’ all the way through (oh dear). The rest of the weekend Read more about Othello[…]
