Several years ago, I decided I needed to read more (actually more is the wrong word to use here, I actually needed to start reading full stop) and made a conscious decision to join the library and start borrowing (and reading!) books again. I even asked a cultured older friend to give me a list […]
Back in the Gym
I have a confession to make. A subject I have been avoiding for some time. The sharp tools in the toolkit out there nay have noted my lack of discussion on this topic , on Facebook but also predominately Twitter! My last session at the gym was way back in mid December. How do I […]
A Savage Cartoonist
I cannot remember exactly when I first started reading the Savage Chickens cartoon strip. Perhaps in the middle of 2005. I am quite sure it was recommended to me, either online or perhaps even in newsprint. You can view all my Savage Chicken themed posts by searching for the tag. There are three blogs I […]
Life Changing Apps
If there are “life changing” apps in the Android Marketplace, I have not found them yet! However the Google Mobile Operating System is going from strength to strength! There are some excellent apps out there and I get surprised by all the great little touches in the apps I have already downloaded. For example Google […]
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 […]
