Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Make an effort to keep in touch with far-away friends. And that way, when you want to visit these far-away friends, you will be able to stay on their sofas for free. Which is why, given my trip to the U.S in August and the cost of hotels in San Francisco, I thought I’d be [...]
I did it!
Monday, May 24th, 2010Running a marathon hurts. Nobody told me that Edinburgh has a tropical climate. Consequently, I didn’t think to wear sunscreen. I now look like a tomato. I am chaffed in places I didn’t think it was possible to be chaffed. My legs are not really working. I am exhausted. But I am sooooooooooooooo happy because [...]
In a nutshell
Thursday, May 6th, 2010Don’t go running after eating a 3-course lunch. I am too tired to blog coherently. Somehow, I have found myself on a committee involved in organising the 2011 BPS Conference. Which did mean I got a great lunch today. But then nearly threw up running afterwards and now am zombied. So the last week in [...]
Things change
Friday, April 9th, 2010Life will get better if you give it a chance. I don’t remember when I last sat by myself at a weekend. Or when I wasn’t smiling. Or didn’t look forward to coming home. Last year, all I did much of the time was sit by myself at weekends. Not smiling. And not particularly even [...]
Laughing
Thursday, April 8th, 2010You know you’ve chosen the right friends when you can’t stop laughing. This Easter weekend rocked. I got to catch up with friends I’d not seen for far too long. Bought pink shoes. Spent 24 hours solid laughing with Maria over in The Village. Ate a wicked Easter meal cooked for by the lovely Maria. [...]
Not feeling sorry for myself
Sunday, March 28th, 2010I tried going for a run this afternoon. Only managed 3 miles ‘coz of my bloody knee. Not best pleased. But then I was looking over my stats of runs I’ve done so far and I saw that my best time for a 10k is 47 minutes. So that perked me up a bit. Plus [...]
Weak-end
Sunday, February 7th, 2010I am having a fannytastic weekend. This is down to Maria and other friends having kept me company from dawn ’til dusk and dusk ’til dawn again. There have been girly chats, lots of wine, lots of food, a bit of shopping, some Wii games, a lazy breakfast and a large chunk of naughtiness. It’s [...]
Ad-vice
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010Listen to your friends. Lately, friends of mine have been giving me lots of advice. On various things. But mainly how to behave as an almost-30-something-single-gal. The end result has been that my self-confidence has gone through the roof. Hopefully not quite to the point of arrogance. But it’s left me feeling pretty good about [...]
Grinning to myself like an idiot
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010So we are in a new decade. And, thanks to my sister and her husband playing at Removal Company Extraordinaire, I am starting this new decade as a resident of Newcastle, every cushion and candle in place, already feeling that I have found ‘home’. Maria and I saw in the new year accompanied by cocktails, [...]
