So, the pope died, which was cool in that it mean my mum’s cousin was on the news. There he is on the left. Maybe he’ll be made pope now. Or Robbie Coltrane or something. Maybe they should just quit … Continue reading
The sun is shining without a cloud in the sky, except for the heavy fog that covers the beach and the sea. Beautiful and bizarre. I’m in the office, wishing I was outside, but today’s alright because I get to … Continue reading
Bank holiday weekend nearly over and masses of (creative) work done for a change. All to avoid going out into the sun, I suppose. Don’t get me wrong, big fan of the summer and all that, just entirely unprepared for … Continue reading

Another really boring weekend. The sun is out and I’m inside. Something has to change, I must start going to the pub or something. At work my team of 15 is now down to three. One of those three is … Continue reading
