  Booted due to inactivity…

  Not yet thankfully…not from my own blog. Though I have to apologize, because things have been hectic as usual and I haven’t been able to post. When I arrived home from America I was rushed straight back into work, getting the house tidied up and doing odd jobs, to get ready for our American guest…

  Beautiful weather…shame about the exams

  I love this weather! Sun splitting the trees, the streets crowded with happy people, the option to leave the house without carrying a coat or jumper. My phone captured it pretty well. It was the busiest I’ve seen the city centre in a good while. Everything about it is fantastic, and best of all it…

  A Cabinet of Curiosities

  I know I said the blog would be suspended for the time being, but I was in a bad place last week, and I now wish to retract my statement. I simply can’t not write! (please forgive the double negative). Last week I attended a lecture along with my dad at the F. E. McWilliam…

  Easter is over, and now a slight haitus

  My Easter has been all over the place this year, even though I’ve managed to stay within the confines of this little country. I’ve been back and forward from Belfast for driving lessons, my test, revision, and meeting up with friends (and Northern Ireland Fencing, of course). I’ve also been doing a spot of fence…

  Productive procrastination

  Another busy week, which is becoming the norm these days. There’s always so much going on between university, fencing, filmmaking, plotting and fixing computers. And my driving test is now safely behind me, as of Wednesday, and I’ve never felt better. My posts seem to be getting later and later as time goes on, but…

  Recovery

  It has been another busy weekend, not really aided by the fact I was incredibly sleep deprived after Thursday night. I said I would have an update, but there wasn’t anything happening at the time after the first one on Friday morning, but I can summarise things now after the experience. It went pretty well,…

  Rediscovery

  I love rediscovering Belfast. Day in, day out, I walk the same roads. The same routes. To get to the same destination. Thursday was a different day, as I had some free time after class for a change. My first destination, along with two friends from my class, was the GAME store in Donegal Square.…

  I demand satisfaction!

  Yes, I am now equipped to duel with my new rapier! It’s strange, but I always imagine swords as elegant, light weapons, whereas the reality is that they are heavy monsters. Even the rapier, one of the lightest swords, is hefty enough. I can’t imagine having to fence with it for any amount of time.…

  2000 Views! This is very exciting…

  This is it! 2000 views! Thank you to my readers, if there are any of you out there, this is very exciting news. I also have fencing news to share, from the Student Individuals. I came third! It’s the first time I’ve actually made it through the Direct Elimination matches, and I also won all…

  What a week!

  I’m back home, and completely exhausted. This week has been a total write-off in terms of work, as I started off tired from fencing and enjoying myself all weekend, then I had the 2nd year medicine formal on Wednesday night to ensure I would be wrecked for remainder. Now add to that my new cold/whatever…
