Around the UK, part one
I had two weeks left in England before my plane left for Hong Kong and way too much to do in such a limited time. Somehow, though, it mainly worked out, though not as expected or hoped for. The first … Continue reading
July – the missing month.
July was a bit hectic. If I’d had ten minutes to spare I would’ve written some description of what I was doing here, but ten minutes never came up. As it was I spent the entire month working for a … Continue reading
Brighton
I spent last weekend down in Brighton. Much like everything else in the UK it’s been nearly two years since I was there. Getting down there was easy, but tiresome. The Megabus was as cheap and easy to book and … Continue reading

I’m working my last set of evening shifts this week and won’t be sad to see them go. At one point I got the idea into my head that starting at 2pm would give me the morning free to do … Continue reading
Exactly two weeks to go now until my (currently missing) landlady turfs me out onto the (this time metaphorical) street. What remains of my (saleable) possessions are up on ebay, the remainder to be taken down the market next week. … Continue reading
