Sometimes, even I surprise myself but then sometimes it is difficult to meet the expectations of your friends, not matter how much peer pressure they lay at your door. If I could describe my life at the moment, it could easily be summarised with the latest television advert from Virgin Trains (I am sure you […]

My weekend officially started around 4.20pm this afternoon when I was sitting in my local barbers, getting my haircut and Africa by Toto came on the radio. Not exactly the banging club track I would have liked to listen to but remember this is Newbury, in deepest West Berkshire and having a radio on at […]
The Gym Xchange: Part Uno
It is 12:21pm on Friday 1st May, as I start this blog post, I am back from what I can only call a legendary session at Pav’s gym. (We were there from 9.30am until nearly midday and I was pushed to the limits of my capabilities.) Not only that but we saw a famous look […]

My weekend started early, so while most other people have just a three day weekend, I have given myself an extra day off to make it a super four days off. I left work around 4.30pm and headed back to the flat. I had everything ready packed, so it was just a case of getting […]

Sometimes it is a great to have a weekend to yourself. No major plans, things to do but being so minor, they can wait and there is no rush. Do not get me wrong, I love my crazy weekends when I am rushing around and hardly have time to breathe but having nothing on the […]

Do you sometimes just take a gamble, a punt? Well I have done that a few times recently with limited success, until last night. More on the success a bit later but let me first focus on the failures. As if I do not already have enough US television to watch, I thought I would […]

Weekends jam packed with so much entertainment are great. Most people leave with some very fond memories, a memory card stashed full of photographs and usually a much lighter wallet. While I am no different, I also carry the burden, the heavy heart of expectation that I will provide a written account of all the […]
Friday 17th April 2009
What a week, even it if was only four working days. I now found myself very late on a Friday with 167 things to do before I go to bed. However I feel I should write a quick blog roundup mainly because there is so much going on this weekend I doubt I will find […]
Monday 13th April 2009
So how was your long Easter Bank Holiday weekend? Mine very good, even considering the weather was absolutely rubbish. Perhaps I should have stayed in Newbury but I hear that apart from today the weather was not that great either. So let me quickly sum up what I have been up to for the past […]
Friday 10th April 2009
Those of you lucky enough not to be working today, I am sure you will agree that today feels like a Saturday. It does for me and I have just got back from town, had quite a few little jobs to get done before getting back home around 1pm for some food. Let me first […]
