I keep on visiting here and thinking I should post something. Unfortunately I don’t really have anything to say.  My life isn’t incredibly exciting or anything, I mean yesterday consisted of neighbours alarms going off, going to work, going to the gym, eating too much chocolate and then sitting at my computer and chatting.

6:30pm I was napping on the study floor, I kid you not.  Bed probably would have been a more comfortable choice, however if I’d done that I would not have made my 7:30 squash game.  Setting an alarm is just way too complicated. So now it’s 1:30am, and of course I’m awake.  I knew this […]
