Dearest readers,
Tomorrow morning at an unholy hour I will be departing from my beloved England on board yon jet plane to the New World. And I’m not taking my laptop with me, so posting will not be as frequent as usual. I’m not going to be entirely away from civilisation (I hear they recently started using cutlery in the States), so you might still hear from me sometimes.
Let’s just say IF THIS...

Bravo Moffat. Clap clap clap.
That was excellent. Aside from the duckpond issue that was almost exactly the episode I was hoping for - ONLY MORE. So applause for you.

So here's my problem with Ellie Goulding.
(Because I’m sure you were all desperate to know.)
She reminds me of someone I went to school with. Not a particular person - more just someone I could have gone to school with. One of those girls who are pretty and fashionable and not particularly bright but not exactly unintelligent either. And they’re fashionable in that way that has just enough personal quirk to not entirely be a...

SANTANA: Finn didn’t fall for any of our tricks.
SUE: Such as?
BRITTANY: I didn’t wear a bra. And I had them turn up the air conditioning.
SUE: Ladies, I misjudged you. You may be two of the stupidest teens I’ve ever encountered. And that’s saying something. I once taught a cheerleading seminar to a young Sarah Palin.

Smells are the most effective trigger for memory.
I just used a brand of deodorant that I haven’t used in ages, but brought with me to France in September, and suddenly it’s evoked that exact time.
It’s brought back the solid heat and my little apartment and Megan T and Adam and the books I was reading and the homesickness and cycling to the beach and the French verbs and the day I had the worst cramps of my life and constantly...

Ow.
Today I am in a lot of pain because of that bastard bike ride yesterday. I mean, it wasn’t a bastard bike ride at the time - well, maybe for some of the time - but with hindsight it is now known as “that bastard bike ride”. Twenty miles of the Trans Pennine Trail on what is essentially a road bike. Jesus, my poor bottom may never forgive me. But it was good - Nat made it fun (and...

“I for one, was sent on earth from GOD. To be one of his ANGELS to try to help this world that is half light, and half dark. There is right now a crucial War between good and bad. I am on the GOOD side, and that is why they are always trying to get me. Anyway, there’s more I have to tell you about the frequencies...
