Christmas the Second
There has been shopping. Baking. DIYing. And the Muppet Christmas Carol. It must be Christmas Eve! Yes, we’ve reaching the big day, and though it won’t be the most momentous occasion this year (I’m looking at you, wedding!) I can’t help but love it. Christmas is my favourite time of year. Friends, family, food, drink.…

Christmas Eve(s)
I love cryptic titles. Why the potential for a plural, you might ask? This year, much like last year, I’m having a few different Christmas celebrations. We’re having a Northern Irish family Christmas celebration this weekend, and I’m celebrating standard Christmas with Sarah’s family. The last few months have flown by. August was dominated by…

Remember that time I went to Cardiff?

Organisation Failure and an Impromptu Shirt

I adopted the Microsoft calendar years ago on Windows Mobile, and migrated to Google calendar which has successfully managed my life for many years. That didn’t prevent me from turning up to work in the most casual of clothes, and moments later receiving…

That’s a Fine Looking Barbecue Pit…I mean keyboard
Another day, another Simpsons reference. Things don’t always turn out as planned, or as beautiful as on the front of the box. I had my last scheduled day in clinical medicine on Monday. I was working the Easter Monday holiday, but that didn’t matter too much. It was a momentous occasion. One of my last…
