7 Days: Day 2 – Create
The first of this run’s theme days: create.
Of course I knew I’d be showing off my knitting when I chose this theme. I made Lauren choose the colour theme for day 5 because I found myself staring around my office, looking for something I’d find easy for that day … and cheating twice is just [...]
7 Days: Day 1 – My book
The postman brought me a hotly awaited parcel yesterday: my first photo book, made using Apple’s iPhoto. Making a photo book is on my list of things to do this year and I’d finally got one designed, finished and ordered. It’s quite nerve-wracking uploading the book, hoping to God that you haven’t missed any typos [...]
Damn my temporal lobe and all who misfire in her
The past few months I’ve had a little trouble with episodes of “feeling funny”.

2. What colour is your couch?
Terracotta.
(Cue my parents muttering to each other in the [...]
Roughly 1000 words on why you shouldn’t go to Dim T

7 Days returns. Again.
The 7 Days self-portrait project is back. You’re all very pretty – especially you boys – so come and join us for another 7 days of self-portraits, vanity, comment love and general frivolity! Lauren and I will be discussing what the theme days will be over dim sum tomorrow and they will be announced on [...]
In which you learn the German for “skid marks”
Finally we get to the actual reason I was in Bratislava at the end of August: music. I’ve told you about my musician before and having cursed the concert in Vienna with a rainstorm that damaged the stage and equipment, Bratislava was another attempt to see a concert on Hubert’s 2007 tour. And I actually [...]
