2009-11-10T12:02:38Z

In the absence of anything exciting to report, I thought I'd share some photos from mine and the dog's autumn wanders. Sadly since these were taken last weekend we've had gale force winds and torrential rains so everything looks bald and wet now....

Some more drivel from my day to day life

2009-11-06T08:53:24Z

Sadly nothing very exciting has happened in the last few days. I think I may have PMT because life is currently a patchwork of little irritations woven together to create a quilt of annoyance. These include but are not limited to: Telephone Twa...

More from the world of complete lunacy...

A letter to Royal Mail

2009-10-14T11:05:55Z

Fuelled by coffee and anger at the time I'd spent trying to track down the letter I sent on Monday, I decided it was time to email Royal Mail's customer services department... To whom it may concern: (note: I suggest you get a coffee before you...

Postal Wankery

2009-10-13T13:27:21Z

I had got the impression from the news headlines about the umpteen million items of post lost in the postal workers strike that was never going to arrive at its destination, that Royal Mail might, just might, be utterly fucking useless. Now all d...

The fridge-witch strikes again

2009-10-12T07:56:58Z

The fridge-witch, as mentioned before for her constant whinging, nosy behaviour and insistence on sharing every cold she ever has with the entire office by coughing and spluttering while noisily informing us how very ill she is, has this morning g...

More of life's little irritations...

2009-09-29T11:20:52Z

You know when sometimes you have a day when you should ignore the alarm, pull the covers over your head and refuse to emerge? Well today is one of those days. Firstly I woke up with a cold. It's like someone has cheesegrated my throat and my nos...
