No alarm to give you a fright after the weekend has ended - in fact, the weekend hasn’t ended! The usual Monday morning blues are missing. No more thinking “just a few more minutes in bed” to find out that i’m more than an hour late for work! No more staggering to the toilet with [...]

I was quite sensible the day before when [...]
Had a leaving lunch today at the wonderful Riverhouse restaurant. Had a hard time organising it this morning as i had to find out how many was actually here in the office due to the severe weather! The restaurant actually called to ask the very same question, because they’re a bit understaffed, and the parking [...]
It’s a hall with 5 badminton courts, walled off by concrete except for the viewing glass on one side of the hall - the shortest side of course! Don’t think the local council would want to spend that much on a badminton hall!
