My mouth really is an expression of NHS dentistry. Once, when I was young I had a nice NHS Dentist to whom I delivered The Independent on Sundays and the Guardian on Saturdays (I am terrified that I haven’t had that paper round for over ten years and I can still tell you what went … Read More

It’s ok, I’m fine and the ‘crash’ such as it was took place at incredibly slow speeds and ended with me cracking a headlight cover against a brick wall. There was actually time enough for me to realise I wasn’t turning (but rather was continueing towards a wall) and brake, try cadence braking, change down … Read More

The Jellicle had his birthday today, I failed at giving him the most amazing present in the world ever but am determined to make up for this by being A WONDERFUL GIRLFRIEND TM for the rest of the year. We watched Serial Experiments Lain, well I worked and finalised bits of a game I’m running … Read More

I have had many lovers over the years. I like to keep things to remind me of them, often they are gifts, sometimes (as in the case of Cornish Bloke’s jumper) they’re things I’ve stolen. My darling Jellicle Cat actually gave me a ring, however I have noticed that of all my lovers it is … Read More

But I have just had a fun game of Struggle of Empires and a future promise of Dune. So I’m feeling somewhat better. Another medicated bath ought to do it.
