Hello there, this is just a very quick tester blog to check that all is working well. Bye x... read more

Well what can I say, for all my intent i've been a bit rubbish at updating this so far. But here goes Wally watchers!!! New observations from the last few weeks include the following..... X43 Service from Burnley while being handy should actually come with a Wallet Health Warning. The bus should come with an effing black Zorro style headband or at least some lubrication while you get violated. Ahem anyway at least I managed to refrain from falling asleep on it which was my usual trick at 7am. Rusholme while on a map is close to Manchester City Centre really isnt. I have a theory that Princess and Upper Brook Street leading out the town centre is actually a Concertina in space and time. Either that or buggering about buying Croissants and Water from a ... read more

(… remplace l’hiver tout blanc, tout blanc. J’ai des chansons de Passe-Partout dans la tête hahaha). Il fait super beau à Blackpool depuis quelques jours. Le printemps s’est installé pour de bon. Nananananère :P Sinon, la routine est revenue à Westover. Avant de reprendre mes leçons lundi, je suis allée passer 2 jours à Edimbourg et, comme d’habitude, j’avais l’impression de rentrer à la maison. L’Ecosse est tellement belle et a une touche québécoise (assez bizarrement), c’est donc toujours avec impatience que j’y retourne. Je suis allée visiter une fille que j’ai rencontré et avec qui je me suis lié d’amitié il y a environ 18 mois quand nous travaillions toutes les deux sur le Royal Mile. Elle vit toujours à Edimbourg (où elle a déménagé de la Pologne) et elle y étudie… la chanceuse! Je ... read more

Well with three weeks to go I can honestly say I'm currently completely underwhelmed. Think I've got everything I need apart from a decent pair of boardies but I currently can't get excited. Do you think you can over excite yourself and need an excitement recharge like a badly crafted electric car? Anyway 3 days of work left this week and then a week off to get everything ready i.e. visa for China might be useful and aforementioned boardies however with it being about 6 degrees in Japan and its pissing it down might be a while before they get used :) Anyway enough rambling, this Citrix stuff won't configure itself.

Well well well about time I got this bad boy started hadn't I. So much has happened since we decided we were going to leave the "Wonderful" UK shores and so much happened before we decided too. Number 10 was sold in the summer (that was fun) and we finally completed the week before Xmas which meant I was moving back into the 'rents place for cheap lodgings and then everything was confirmed, notices handed in, flights finalised/booked, ferry's booked and rail passes gotten. We are so thankful that the "Internet" (beautiful British Invention) has made sorting this out so much more painless than I reckon it could have been even if it was a bit more expensive but I figure its money well spent for making our first big trip as easy as possible. However ... read more
