When Will The Summer Arrive?! :(

If you find yourself clutching onto a hot water bottle as if it were a life-saving hand at the top of a cliff which had your death sealed on it. Then you must only be in Northern Ireland in the height of its scorching summer at 14 degrees Celsius (on a good day).   YesContinue reading “When Will The Summer Arrive?! :(“

The Catcall Chronicles

What’s Your Biggest Pet Peeve(s)?

This thought infiltrated my mind with the waft of a ‘ploughman’s lunch’ on the train during my early morning commute to work today. For anyone unfamiliar with this term ‘ploughman’s lunch’, you’ve lived a very sheltered childhood, a very lucky childhood. It’s basically a cheese (sewage) and pickle sandwich, and the scent and sight ofContinue reading “What’s Your Biggest Pet Peeve(s)?”

Poem: A Parent’s Love

A Parent’s Love Embers of amor engulf us as you touch my face once more. Held in your arms as closely as the day on which I was born. You have loved me from the moment my heart began beating. A childhood spent with you, If only time could be repeated. Although I will growContinue reading “Poem: A Parent’s Love”

I’m Done….

If sweating out of every orifice in your entire being is your cup of tea then you should’ve joined me in my gallivanting across the city of London with what could’ve only been described as the weight of a life-sized 10 year old on my back in the form of a gym bag and aContinue reading “I’m Done….”

City life

Like mice, Trapped in the rat race. A maze made for manipulation. Man against man, race against race.    A breath. Of fresh air at dawn. As futile as asking the sun to, Rise at dusk and set in the morn.   Private, A word less chosen. Only by those of land un-citied. Cities keepContinue reading “City life”

I Hate Public Transport With A Passion

If you’ve happened to be following my journey on the misery train so far, you’ll know that my belief firmly holds – trying to live in London for two weeks on £30 will make climbing Mt. Everest look like a walk in the park in comparison.   My hands are already physically shaking as IContinue reading “I Hate Public Transport With A Passion”

I Finally Did It!

If you’ve been following my quarrels and qualms in my quest to find a new humble abode here, then it may come as a surprise to both you and I that I have done the impossible and actually managed to find a place to live come September this year!   But before I bathe inContinue reading “I Finally Did It!”

Day Trip – Woburn Safari park

Zoos are pretty dichotomous places. Good for their conservation of an endangered breed yet bad  by preventing an animal from living in its natural habitat. Many more pros and cons come into play when determining whether there is a need for a zoo or not. But I’ll keep that discussion in the pipeline, for todayContinue reading “Day Trip – Woburn Safari park”

Isle of Wight Festival – The Experience

Like a herd of African wildebeest, me and what seemed like the whole world and it’s dog made our steady way from our campsite to the main event. As the muffled sounds of electric guitars and pounding drums became clearer and clearer with very step closer, my excitement crescendoed to new climatic heights (ew). SecurityContinue reading “Isle of Wight Festival – The Experience”

Isle of Wight Festival – The Journey

Getting up at 6 am may be easy for some, but for us mere mortals it’s somewhat of a challenge. Either way, I had to drag myself onto the train to meet my old university mates who were also making the jaunt to the island.   Fast forward, skipping a rather boring car journey (ofContinue reading “Isle of Wight Festival – The Journey”
