This is the Post of Easter Past. Placed here so that, come the end of 2012, I’ll be able look back and convince myself I posted every week without fail, and didn’t spend 15 April swanning around in Hull (City of 1001 Chip Shops) getting fed by my mum, sleeping late (and during the day) [...]

Since I lasted post here, I’ve been to Hull and back. Always wanted to say that! Hull was far from hellish on this occasion, however, and thanks are due to the various relatives who put me up, gave me lifts, and provided food, drink and a fab party. Far more scary than the City of 1001 Chip [...]

Get this — I just received spam from the future, an email from the cunningly named “discountwa” in Russia, dated Monday 6 August 2012! Spooky. But a great way to get to the top of your target’s in-box. I never open spam, so I can’t tell you how genuine Rolex watch design will advance over the next [...]

Recently returned from a visit to Hull (City of 1001 Chip Shops), where I was helping out my mam with her new computer and broadband account (Kingston Communications — yay!!). These are unhappy times for my home town; during the week I was there, not one but two breaking news stories cast more misery upon the [...]

Our drive to Hull has been postponed until Saturday, so I will gain a day of world-building tomorrow (and lose one next week, as we will return a day later, too). I spent hours today exploring Holly Lisle’s excellent writers’ and readers’ site. The sheer volume of knowledge to be gleaned there is astounding. Far too much to read and digest in [...]

June 2nd was a day of firsts for me. The first link to one of my articles. The first comment on one of my posts (and quite probably the first person ever to read this blog) — thanks Roberta! And the first time I have been moved to protest to a major media organization.* Those [...]

Makes me feel hungry just looking at it. Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on Facebook Share on Linkedin share via Reddit Share with Stumblers [...]

Last time Hubby and I visited Hull (City of 1001 Chip Shops), we finally managed to locate the Hull City shop. It is still in the Princes Quay shopping centre, but on a higher floor. After promotion to the Premier League last season, they obviously felt they had earned a move up in the retail [...]

Another weekend, another defeat for Hull City. I think the rot really set in after Boxing Day, when Phil Brown denied the team their half-time orange segments by keeping them on the pitch for a public telling-off. It’s just like Arsenal were never the same after Pizza-gate. (Why-0h-why is every minor contretemps given the suffix [...]
