Yeah blogging about it again, scramble if you don’t want to hear it, feel free to pick a fight if you need to. ‘I’ve waited all my life to cross this line, To the only thing that’s true,’ – Ryan Cabrera Well frankly that’s just stupid, wait all you life to fall for someone, to … Read More

So I went back to Lancaster. And whilst it was like I was going back to somewhere I knew very well, and it felt in some respects as if I’d never been away (Pagan Soc on Monday, rigging in the Grand on Tuesday, in a play on Wednesday, LURPs on Thursday, Bar Crawl on Friday) … Read More

I have reached several conclusions over the past few days: The Jellicle Cat=Home. I have no actual concept of money in any country whether I’m using lira, yen, pounds or whatever, it actually means nothing to me. I am physically incapable of saying no. The people who affect you into forming your thoughts and beliefs … Read More

There is no time when you travel only what is made within the travelling. And then you arrive and you are back in time through your very own tardis bubble.

And that sick dread that comes before the ignominious return is upon me. Did that sound pretentious enough? I don’t want to go. I mean I do obviously, in that I want to see everyone…only, I don’t want to go back. I want to stay in Japan. I don’t want to return. I want to … Read More

Kocho-sensei (Headmaster) has just come up to me for the fourth time this week to tell me ‘Sunny isn’t it.’ This is a total improvement on Monday’s ‘Cloudy ne?’ (‘Cloudy isn’t it’ in English/Japanese mixture). I am so chuffed. This is entirely down to the display on the first years corridor on Weather. I didn’t … Read More

Finally the mystery of the car in my space has been solved! See I only pay part of the rent on my apartment, my employers pay two thirds of it. They do this by putting into my account an amount of money about two days before rent is taken out by the landlord. Silly me … Read More

I have been saying for years now that I’m allergic to home, that would be a little village on the Lincolnshire Wolds where Tennyson’s brother used to be vicar. When I’m at home my excema flares up, my asthma decides it’s been ignored for too long and as for hayfever, the dry yet dripping red … Read More
