This evening I’ve whiled away my time in a comfortable dream world – and have been snuggled up in the cinema watching the ‘The Shape
The final frontier
Maybe unsurprisingly there has been a price to pay for my enthusiastic walking exploits on Sunday. I spent the first part of Monday morning hobbling
Canal walking via Packwood House
I’m gonna get right out in front and just say it. ‘Star Wars was flipping awesome!!!‘ There. I’ve got it out of my system. (No
May the 4th
Today is a decidedly odd day – but in a really good way. My morning at work started with my manager walking into the small
Grasshoppers and Atomic Blondes

Sixteen inches smaller
Day two of ‘operation salad’ is in effect and so far things are going very nicely, although last night I found myself to be incredibly
Nine and a half stone gone
Today is a complete first. Since April 16th I’ve not slept properly on a Friday due to worrying about weighing in on a Saturday –
Rogue Two
Although it’s a bit of an extravagance sometimes a film is sooooo good that it’s worth seeing a second time. Star Wars: Rogue One is (for
Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?
When I look back on 2016 I’m going to have extremely mixed feelings about it. Most of my blog posts so far have been about personal
Christmas Swanlings
Despite the dire weather warnings and promises of storm fronts ruining Christmas today has (so far) been quite nice! When I awoke this morning without
