Captured Sunrise

Sometimes it is nice to capture a beautiful moment, even if it goes almost unobserved every day. What makes this moment even sweeter is that fact it took place over the location of my first official employment. Yes, thirteen years ago, I was working at this petrol station around the corner from my house.

Forever Young

After almost four years, one of my favourite shows came to a end on Monday but of course, being in the UK, I had to wait until the following day to catch up on how life ends for a group of students at fictional Cyprus Rhodes University. However, before I go into the review of […]

Heading Off Plan

It had been over a month since I went to the cinema, eight weeks in fact. The last trip was to see The Kings Speech in the middle of January. There had been a few movies I wanted to see on the big screen but in most cases, the urge has never been quite strong […]

Back In The Office

I returned to the office early today. Well extra early, I usually arrive before 8am, but was here thirty minutes early, after a week off. As I made my way up the stairs (I never use the lift, what is the point to go up or down one floor) I thought to myself what kind […]

Even The Principal Is A Hero

Iqbal Theba is somewhat of a hero of mine! Let me clarify this by making that a small-time television hero, not the super street fighting kind. He starred in a handful of episodes of Sister, Sister, with the classic line, “This is AMERICA! Everything is for SALE!”. However, he has outdone himself as Principal Figgins […]

Creative Gene Pool

Reading up about my cousin, Simon, my sister, Samantha mentioned that he has a permanment exhbition in the Science Museum, London. I had mentioned this to Michelle a while back (obviously purely to impress her with the creative talents of the Tegala name!) We had promised ourselves that at some point we would take a […]

Junior Artists

People are often surprised when I tell them I am an avid watcher of Eastenders. They expect me to have a broader, more high brow approach to television. The events in the fictional Walford, are perhaps rather too much in the realm of common denominator TV. So what appeals to me so much about this […]

Fragile (Handle With Care)

Friendships are and forever will be a very delicate commodity. I will be the first to admit I have not treated my friendships with the respect they deserve. Perhaps for a long time, but in recent times, I have just not made the time I should. Today or more importantly from this weekend, I shall […]

A Ticket To Ride

Weekend train travel is something of a lottery. The destination is not as important as the point of departure. My local station, High Wycombe is manned regularly at weekends, but when you try and start your jouney from a village on the Buckinghamsire/Berkshire border, it is a very different prospect. It is also worth noting […]
