Given that since I’m self-employed, weekends can technically happen whenever I like; there’s nothing to stop me from taking Wednesday and Thursday off, for example, then working the actual weekend. But I still quite enjoy the quietness of Sundays. Oh wait there is a thing to stop me and it’s called money. I work during […]

The Six O’Clock News: Quickfire Commentary
Audioblog time! I decided to commentate on each of these stories (don’t worry there are things to look at while you listen): Too bad I talked about things in the wrong order and forgot how to talk and read simultaneously. Story One, in which we should perhaps panic. Story Two, in which I haven’t heard of […]
Packing – Or Not – Some Bags
I always get a bit confused after a bank holiday – the joy of long weekend is kind of negated by not knowing what day it is for the rest of the week. So to make myself feel efficient in the face of uncertanity I’ve been adapting my Society6 and Etsy shops a little bit. Etsy will […]

Going Back to Hell 101
No one ever did confess to being under the age of 11 so I’m going to assume you guys are in the same-ish age bracket as me and are school-age. By ‘school age’ I mean ‘in compulsory education’. I’m technically university age but am also technically on a gap year and I don’t have a clue how […]
The Six O’Clock News: It’s Okay, USA
How many of you guys are from Missouri, USA? Me neither man, I’m not totally sure where Missouri is. But I do know that a load of shit is going on there at the moment, in the town of Ferguson. This BBC article has a good (detailed) explanation about what’s gone on – I think […]
Emoji Fest
I’ve rigged my phone up to this so I can ‘blog on the go’ but I’m actually sitting in my lounge, which feels like a metaphor for 21st century life. On the plus side, I have emojis! Let’s see if they show up here (if they don’t I may press publish anyway): 🐕🐶 Okay guess […]
