The last night in Prague was better than any. After the fascinating activity of sitting in a tattoo & piercing shop waiting for Miriam, Amanda & Heidi to have holes put through their bodies and extravagant dye put in their … Continue reading
Sunday wasn’t too shabby. Ate some food with friends and then went off to visit my most recent ex. We took ten minutes or so trying to find somewhere to get a drink. Don’t think it could have gone better … Continue reading
Feeling pretty good now. Didn’t overdo it at all last night – only had two beers and went to bed at 1.30. I’m almost a monk. I’d even have my voice back if I hadn’t spent about an hour doing … Continue reading

I went back to the callcentre for one last day of work on Tuesday, my first on the new 9am-7pm shift which is bound to send me scurrying back into the skilled professions by March. Am considering becoming a plumber. … Continue reading
Brief entry. Am shattered. I had a good time at Martin’s wedding – haven’t seen him for over two years and he looks exactly the same. Don’t think that family ‘does’ aging. I drank Remy Martin, smoked a cuban cigar, … Continue reading
