27.10: Aggy has been exploring. Look, I found a chocolate orange! The carefully sectioned, neatly wrapped kind of treasure my parents’ generation got when they were kids and treats were still a bit of a big thing, the kind that disappeared because it was less cost efficient than stackable KitKat bars. (They sure did have […]

The World is Unavailable – Please go Play Outside
26.10: Today has been a dull day. Someone has stolen the Internet! [Pause for gasp] I have (seriously) been to the local centre five times today to check e-mail, find plane tickets, pay bills, download lecture notes, check e-mail again, etc, etc… So I’m officially an Internet addict, I gladly admit it. Better than TV […]

Loch Ness
– breathtaking. It’s “only” a lake, but if you appreciate nature as much as I do, do put it on your list. The Scottish wilderness is much like the Norwegian but rougher, more beaten. The ruin on the shore is a beauty; I will not expand on that as I find myself gauging clichés. We […]

Nia
Pilates is SO last month. The new variation over working out is obviously Nia. A weird mix of just about every other gym class, according to Nia Now the influence comes from no less than nine styles: Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do and Aikido, Jazz dance, modern dance and duncan dance, Moshe Fedenkrais, Alexander technique […]

Change Chaos
There’s at least seven different UK coins, and it’s very easy to get tricked on the change (luckily the scots seem to be honest, if overly economical at times). I’ll just warn you about the 50 pence: It’s a large octahedral coin, but if someone tries to give you one that’s really abnormally large, over […]

The backside of snippets
My current inbox. 1000 unread mails, spam excluded. Round, nice number. Approaching half of the total messages, too. Cheers for Information Era! (click pic for full view)

[Not backdated – fresh from the block]
I like the way they sell cakes by writing ‘butter’ on them, even if there’s no butter in them. Butter is far from a word of honour where I’m from… The library here has the most fantastic books, and they can be borrowed a whole year! I got a most fascinating book on the Picts […]

26. sep – bikes
The everyday is closing in on me. But first there is weekend! Boyfriend is in Nürnberg for the weekend without a functioning phone, and I’m feeling the withdrawal syndrome heavily. Are you having fun, dear? Looking forward to the photos! Photos, yeh. I still haven’t found the proper cable for my camera charger, so I […]

[Night] woken up by fire alarm
The girls I was to go out with left before I came (8.30pm), such things happen when I’m a lazy ass and haven’t found out where I can top up this stupid UK phone no… It’s annoying having to deal with all these little things that run so smoothly back home. Oh well. I’ll be […]

Contact details
I realise I’ve been terribly hard to get in touch with lately, so here are my contact details for reference, not least for myself – I reckon myself as good with numbers and carry something in the twenties of PINs, phone nos and other numeral codes in my head, but the mile-long UK phone no’s are […]
