There are some songs that just make you smile. Whether it be a memory, a melody, a lyric or just the damn genius of the song. The Scissor Sisters have made me smile for the first time today.

I moved out yesterday*. I never have to go out further than zone 3 ever again. For a while yesterday evening, once my stuff was variously stashed in my office (where it will stay for the foreseeable future) and safely at Laurie’s and I was in the pub and then the restaurant with a […]

I’m moving! Out of the shoe box and into a house, a real proper house and hopefully the loft conversion if I have anything to do with it.
The move is going to be a protracted one, I won’t bore you with the details, but the first stage starts today and it ends […]

I need to leave the country. I need a holiday. I need to get out of this place. It’s been 18 months since I left the country, 18 months!! I haven’t stayed in the country this long since I was 18!!
My feet are getting itchy. I want to […]

One of my best friends got married at the weekend.
To paraphrase Hugh Grant in ‘Four wedings and a funeral’, I am in complete awe of those who can make such a commitment.

What if, at the age of 16, I had gone back and told him how I felt? How would that have […]

Having thought about this some more, why can�t my blog be a mixture of single-girl-in-the-city observations, political commentary and inane chatter? Writing about both should detract from neither. Blogging about how the Tories �new� (and I say new reservedly) plans for law and order will not work; does not mean that I […]

The internet was down at work for most of today: leaving 2/3rds of the office with nothing to do but sit round and complain that it wasn’t working, the other third having meetings about how it wasn’t working and the poor IT guy trying to work out why it wasn’t working.
How did people […]

I’ve been thinking about the nature of blogging (I’m sure I’m not the first) and my blog in particular. Not so much why people blog but what I’m doing with this blog…
Do I want to leave it as a collection of random observations? Do I want it to be a political commentary? […]
