So it’s looking likely that life is about to change dramatically. Shelley and I are planning to move to a massive flat in Gravesend next week. I’ve never lived with a girlfriend before it’s going to be interesting. The flat is amazing, it will be nice to have more space and a […]

Things have been going really well lately. I got promoted at work so now I teach all the time. Shelley and I are still very happy together and we’re discussing living together in the near future. All in all I’m a happy bunny.
I’ve had a few freelance jobs on the go; updating […]

I had the best Valentine’s day ever and now that it has a meaning I’m looking forward to the rest of them. I finally wore her down and now Shelley and I are together. I’m so happy and overcome by how glad our friends are for us. She continues to surprise me […]

In a conversation with a friend today I mentioned that I felt bad about something I had thought briefly. He said “We all think like that. That’s why our mouth speaks but our minds are silent.”. I don’t know if that’s a common phrase but regardless I think he is wise beyond […]

The events of last week notwithstanding this year seems to be starting on a pleasantly even keel. I feel almost calm.

I ended things with Rossana a few days ago. I’m not proud of having done it, nor of having hurt her but it had to end. I was fooling myself into thinking that we could make it work, the romantic in me was telling me that distance wouldn’t be an issue this time. […]

I attempted to cook Toad in the Hole this evening following Chris’ instructions that he had emailed me previously.
