Oh man what a week ! As if things weren't weird enough already !? This week I've been lucky enough to have Australians in all directions – good stuff, cos it staves off a bit of the homesickness. I've had Undies staying for the last few days while he sets himself up with a job…

This post completed in a text editor on Australia Day Eve, because my site is down again :( Hey, I think that's the first emoticon I've ever put in one of these posts… Right, so totally in opposition to my attempt to do better than last week by posting more frequently (oh yes, there's been…

Just a quick post – having server trouble in Adelaide late last week and early this week so I couldn't get in to add any scintillating wit to this great compendium. Am about to shoot through to Nottingham for the weekend with Richie and Hilary – no idea what there is to do there, but…

On Sunday night just gone (by “just”, I mean like 3 or 4 days back… things just happen around here, OK ?), I experienced the wondrous jewel in the theatrical crown of Britain – the time honoured medium of Pantomime. It's kind of funny when you hear Brits refer to panto – they talk about…

After a fairly swift yet resoundingly pricey visit to a Harley Street Doctor, it seems that my muscular injury is rather a lot less serious than initially anticipated. In fact, though I found it almost impossible to walk on Wed/Thurs, on Fri I was more or less able to limp about, and today I've managed…

January was shaping up to be all fun and lovely – I'd signed up for Tai Chi and Kickboxing classes, I've got a new choir to go check out on Monday night, and I'll be moving house in mid Feb. All happy, smiley, and moving in the right direction. Naturally there's always things that aren't…

Well there's something I wasn't intending to get excited about today – I was just having a quick skim over my website stats, and it turns out that I am the number 1 Google match for “Save Ferris t-shirt” ! OK, it only seems to be in Australian Google, but still, I'm impressed ! OK,…

Sorry about the somewhat irrelevant title to this post – I just got it in my inbox as one of those relentless tide of spam messages. Just makes you wonder what these marketers perceive as a woman's idea of a good time… Bronchitis landmark ? ANYWAY, New Year's Eve, eh ? I've got to say,…

Tonight a bunch of us went out for Charlie's birthday, and it was lotsa fun – great company, good atmosphere, and overall a good laugh. The thing that piqued my interest though was the restaurant that we went to – The Texas Embassy just near Trafalgar Square. Actually it could have been nearer something else,…

Evening trendsetters ! Well there we go – I've had another Typically British Experience!! On Boxing Day (am still curious as to the origins of this expression – I thought that somehow being up on this half of the world would make it instantly clear and obvious, but as yet I'm predictably none the wiser)…
