Avenue Q
My mother turned 60 last month and because both mums and 60th’s are important I wanted to mark the occasion by doing something good. I decided on taking her for a great night out in London. Dinner and a show, you know…. It took a little while to settle on what to see, but in [...]
A change of scene - A good time to break a habit?
I reckon it might well be. I arrived back in the UK last night and am up at my parents place in Suffolk. I smoked a couple of cigarettes in the garden earlier this morning and thought fuck this. I’m quitting. I’ve been smoking again for a year and hating it for 6 moths. Ridiculous. [...]
Back in Suffolk
I flew back to Stanstead last night. I stopped off in Divonne Les Bains to pick up Ryan and had dinner with him and Sarah before driving down to Geneva airport and stashing the bus in the parking lot. With an hour or 2 to kill Ryan and I drank beer and caught up a [...]
Births, Marriages and Deaths
It’s easy to over-focus on your own problems sometimes, but life has a way of carrying on regardless.
Births
My friend Bryony who lives in the Jura here in France had her third baby last night. Lydie, a baby girl is a new sister for her boys Elliot and Evan. A little girl to complete the [...]
Girls Aloud & being a bit bummed out
I took my lovely girlfriend to the airport this morning. She’s away working in UK for a month. On tour with Girls Aloud as it goes; very comic! I thought it would rain for a month, but the sun came out this afternoon so it could be worse. And a month’s not long is it? [...]
Congratulations
Congratulations again to Simon and Kate Little who have successfully manufactured baby Beatrice. A beautiful baby girl whom Simon assures me is already the love of his life (aside from Kate of course)!
Birthdays
It’s Sarah’s birthday today. I won’t mention which one of course – how rude that would be!
Not one to make a big deal about birthdays, Sarah’s like me in that regard. Some of us just aren’t comfortable being the centre of attention I guess. She’s doing a split shift at the restaurant today – basically [...]
Don’t drink the water
My friend Bonny told me yesterday that she’s pregnant again only half an hour after I was speaking to my friend in the Jura who told me she’s also pregnant with her third.
Must be an epidemic. Or maybe it’s just a symptom of being 31.
Being in my thirties
So I’ve been in my thirties for a year now, and I’ve got to admit that I really like it. I feel like I know what I’m doing now, where I’m going and how I’ll get there. This year I’ve kept quiet about my birthday and after the big deal of turning 30 last year [...]
Tramampolinin’
My friend Caroline invited the Collective lads over to her place for a BBQ on Sunday. She’s part of the collective herself as she’s going to be our content editor. Her 3 children were there, along with some of her girlfriends and Andy’s mate Mark, an American writer who has just moved to Chamonix.
