One of my primary pleasures in life is making lists, so over the next five days,to celebrate our upcoming 10th wedding anniversary I decided to write about the 10 most significant films in mine and Terry’s relationship. 1) Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone I can remember the very first conversation I had with Terry […]

Benches! Benches! Benches!
So the whole blogging thing kind of dried up for me a couple of years back. It’s not that I don’t still feel ways about stuff, and I certainly haven’t lost my fondness for absurdly long, multi-claused run-on sentences that make readers think, ‘Christ, are you, like, allergic to full stops or something?” whilst gasping […]
Thoughts on the post-factual democracy
I’ve had a lot of thoughts swirling around in my head since the Brexit result was announced last Friday morning. Beyond a few sardonic comments expressing general dismay, I refrained from posting anything more substantial until I’d had a chance to think things through a bit. I wanted to let the initial shock and anger […]
Cosplaying Link at Warwick Castle
Hi! It’s… been a while! As many of you know, gaming is a huge part of my life. It’s my safe place, keeping me sane when other parts of my life feel like they’re spinning out of control. It’s what I do to relax, and to have fun, and accounts for a reasonable quantity of […]

Hi. Liz isn’t here right now. Please leave a message after the beep! Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Fronius: winning at swag #NaBloPoMo
Earlier today, Terry blogged about footling around with the API on our Fronius inverter which is hooked up to our solar panels. For him, the ability to live tweet how our solar panels are doing was a massive plus when deciding which inverter to install. I confess this was one of those occasions I admitted […]
Tweeting slebs #NaBloPoMo
Sometimes when I get tipsy I @ the celebrities I follow on Twitter. I’m currently sat in a pub round the corner from the Oxford Playhouse (blogging from my phone using the WordPress app! Truly we are living in the future!) I will be shortly going to see one Marcus Brigstock. And so under the […]
Replaying Wind Waker #NaBloPoMo
A few months ago I was delighted by a rather extravagant surprise present from Terry: a 2nd hand (but perfectly functioning) Wii U console. I had planned on getting one eventually, in readiness for the new Zelda game which is due out at some as yet unknown point next year. But one came up for […]
Catching arachnophobia #NaBloPoMo
Yesterday I blogged about my experience of overcoming my neuroses and successfully travelling to the US for work. As part of this trip, I also had an encounter with a lesser fear: They have freakin’ MASSIVE spiders in Florida. I have no objection in principle to the exciting plethora of other species which cohabit our […]
Business trip #NaBloPoMo
In December 2013 I blogged about how I had spent most of that calendar year finding a new job. I actually posted that one on Christmas Day. I was obviously killing time before Doctor Who started. When I handed my notice in at my old job, one of the reasons I gave was that the […]
