A505 to Luton
Is what I will be driving at about 2:40am tomorrow morning, hopefully, in my quest for Morocco.  I am giving in.  I need a holiday, my temper is shortening and I am making Afghani boys cry. In other news!  The job continues well, I love it, I am a lucky bun.  I have finished the exams, [...]

I am still going
But currently I can be found picking blackberries and scrumping apples, meeting people for swahili conversation at car boot sales, painting cartoons of whales, reading Wollstonecraft, working on my immigration advice accreditation, learning about caring for traumatized torture victims (what other...

second-hand duvet
Well, I’m feeling more comfortable now I actually own a duvet and its attendant sheetings, especially as I’m now finally getting scary contract details and training programme pre-reading from my new job.  It’s quite exciting at the same time as being very unnerving, all these contracts and...

Office greens
I’ve got the greens at work.  Like the blues, with nothing to do, but green: absent-mindedly skimming over niblets of information on ethical living and campaigning.  Currently I can’t write to my MP because it would just give me more work to do. As is, I’m doing a hit on the charity...

ramblings of someone with little to do.
nafikiri kwamba dunia yangu imekuwa kidogo kuliko mbele; ni takriban Julai na marafiki wangu wataondoka Cambridge baadaye kidogo. Watu wote ila Charlotte, yaani. Lakini pia, dunia yangu ni kidogo zaidi kwa sababu nimemaliza schule hatimaye. Nimejitambulisha kwamba hii ni dunia kweli - watu...

YAANI

Freshi
My last full day on Zibbular, and I’ve spent most of it eating excellent food, reading PD James, doing my homework and talking to the Swarm O’Men ™ that haunt single white girls, probably in roughly the same numbers as mosquitoes. I’ve had a fantastic two weeks.  Like any tourist...
