Canoeing and Adjusting
I’m pretty good with jet lag. Being young helps a lot, and slipping into a normal routine as soon as possible. This time it was easy, as we arrived in the evening, but last year our flight came in before lunchtime, and we had a full day ahead of us. The first full day has…

On the Road (In the Sky)
It has been a somewhat stressful few hours, packed with psuedo-deadlines and other drama, but we’re just about to board our flight to Chicago. I am now officially excited! The first flight is 8-ish hours, then a stopover in Chicago before heading on to Portland. I’ve been rediscovering the joys of airport pricing, where it…

Empire Business
Empire Business “I’m not in the website business, I’m in the empire building business” – Not a quote by Walter White, from Breaking Bad. My mum launched her new website last week, with a little help from your ordinarydecentgamer, over at newforgetherapies.com. This is not a shameless plug, by the way, but I found it…

Movie Trips and Clinics – Writing Challenge Day Four
Kick-Ass 2 As you may have gathered, I enjoy using the phrase ‘as you may have gathered’. But nevertheless, as you may have gathered, I’m a Kick-Ass fan. Tonight was the QUB Sci-Fi and Fantasy cinema trip to see Kick-Ass 2. I really enjoyed the first film as it was a fresh take on the…

Almost Forgotten – Writing Challenge Day Three
Tree-Hugging Almost, but not quite forgotten. The challenge, that is. Today has been a busier day than I intended, filled with exciting things like breakfast, birch tea, tree-hugging, talking about films, and a tiny bit of driving on a horrible night that should belong in the middle of a deep dark Winter somewhere far away…

Part Two – Writing Challenge Day Two
Cathedral Quarter Where to go next? That’s the real question. Cathedral Quarter seems like as good a bet as any, and St Anne’s square to have a look round the MAC. It’s a place I’m yet to visit, but I’ve heard good things. Cathedral Quarter is the place to go for anything artsy, or, cathedral-y.…
