So I fell off the blogging wagon, big style… My defence is fairly weak, because when you’re laying up in hotel rooms frankly you should have something better to do than stare listlessly at Netflix churning on your iPad while you lay in a too-small bath in clouds of foam. That said, staring listlessly at … Continue reading Reboot… again

#simnight: lessons learned
My awesome friend Boo made this cool Storify for me, so you can do the TL;DR thing and laugh away at my increasingly erratic tweets through the night. But a few lessons, thoughts and reflections picked up along the way: This is a tough job, physically, mentally and emotionally. https://twitter.com/saraygeorge/status/641852140701544449 It's a funny thing - … Continue reading #simnight: lessons learned
#SimNight: what I’m doing and why…
Next Wednesday is going to be a very, very long day indeed for me. Why? Because I’m planning on experiencing what it’s like to work a night shift in the NHS.

You conjure up visions of tears, tantrums and storming out of offices ("YOU'LL NEVER OWN MY SOUL!") when actually it was a rather well-thought-out and friendly parting of the ways. I have a new job lined up for October and felt that a 6 … Continue reading Interlude: freedom!
Review: Cafe Route, Dalston
Do you like coffee? Do you like hipsters? Wait, come back.... It was a few weeks ago now that the Lovely One and I headed up to Dalston to see the Jeweller for the Clapton Jumble Trail. Being busy little bees, we didn't have a lot of time to stop and say hello, so ended … Continue reading Review: Cafe Route, Dalston
52-book challenge: update!
At the beginning of the year, I started my friend Boo's famous 52-book challenge. It's pretty simple - a book a week for a whole year. As a kid, I was a voracious reader, to the extent that whole summer days could be spent curled on my bed lost in a book. Some of my … Continue reading 52-book challenge: update!
