Why I should not be allowed access to my laptop after bedtime

Please ignore this post. It is simply a dull ramble about the petty concerns that keep me up at night. How on earth does anyone know what they want to do for the rest of their life? Honestly, I don't even have a clue what I want to do next week. I don't even know what I want to do tomorrow...

Preparation for take off

Today i have been frantically running around making sure I/WE have everything we need before we take off on this adventure of a life time. Kit seems to be pretty relaxed so far and not panicking to much about what things he has got already or will need. As apparently everything is made in china...

Once upon a time in my life

What are these Brits doing to me? 'Let's go to the pub!' 'Do you want a drink?' 'Ooh, try this one.' I've even had beer. BEER. (Although it wasn't quite as awful as I expected.) But anyway, things have been really fun. Couch Surfing is now my religion. I am half-tempted to build a...

The dullest update yet!

'Thank you for calling Domino's Pizza, my name's Brigid, how can I help you?' Wow, the number of times I've said that line! What happened to the upperclass Lussmanns job? Well... let's just say the accumulation of stress, training period (without pay, I'll have you know) and posh customers...

Always look on the bright side of life (or is that too lame?)

After the slightly miserable end to my last post, things have gotten much, much better. To quote Eric Idle, "When life seems jolly rotten, there's something you've forgotten, and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing." Now minus the dancing and singing bit, I haven't had enough drinks...

Being old

Well, I've been quite terrible with these updates, haven't I? But don't think it's because I haven't been doing anything interesting. Quite the opposite, in fact. Since my last post, I've moved into my brother's flat, handed out at least 50 CVs, gone for a massive day hike (which ended with...

November in London Town

So, after the week of drinking I took a few days off it. Mainly so I could stay at home with the cats as I couldn't bear much more clearing up of mess. And also to provide a gentle break before a weekend with my uni ladies. It was all set - I was leaving the cats Friday morning, with my 2...

Another day of stunning routes.... It’s terrible how spoilt I’ve become. Oh, there’s another picturesque snow-capped hill in the distance. Hmmm, another rushing river disappearing between the boughs of trees silhouetted in white. Oh, not ANOTHER gorgeous castle overlooking a magnificent...
