I stopped blogging a number of weeks ago. I decided not to blog again until I blogged about Riz. I procrastinated writing anything because I naturally resist thinking about him in too much depth. Since my previous entry Riz took a turn for the worse and I spent a lot of time taking care of … Continue reading »

The other day went for a long walk with Riz around South Croydon. I wandered into the high street camera shop, the local hang out for photographers and other Leica-philes (the camera not me!) and chatted for a bit while Riz politely accepted as many rich tea biscuits as the shop owners would offer. When … Continue reading »

I spent a fair bit of last week recuperating from the Shortest Night 2009 all-night shoot. I messed up my sleep pattern and seem to be stuck in an up-late, sleep-late pattern. So I started exercising late as well – 20-30 minutes on the Duppas fitness trail followed by a long wander around the park … Continue reading »

In the past when my then husband and I went to tapings of Radio 4 programs he would ring up the ticket unit and see what was available. A while back I noticed on of my far-too-many RSS feeds told me tickets for The Now Show were available. I signed up for the first and … Continue reading »

Riz seems a bit poorly. He refuses his food until he’s very hungry – sometimes waiting as much as 10 hours to finish (or even start) eating. He eats snacks still, so I’m hoping it’s just the taste of the antibiotics mixed in his food. The only way I can get him to take the … Continue reading »

I realised I’ve been doing most of my blogging via Twitter now. I will make amends. I spent last night on an all-night photo walk. It mostly involved circling from The South Bank up Tower Bridge and back a couple of times, with a detour through China Town for some Chinese food at an open-all-night … Continue reading »

Life got a bit interesting. Long story short, my GP signed me off ill for a couple of weeks and when I returned my services were no longer required at RIM. Few people hiring, many people applying. So…challenges lay ahead!

Last Sunday I trundled up towards East Croydon to catch the weekly lunch-time jazz gig at The Green Dragon. This week featured a brassy jazz-fusion veteran Derek Nash and Sax Appeal. I knew the local music scene shifted from The Ship to The Green Dragon a while back, after the Hogshead sold up and the … Continue reading »

Just a quick reminder for fans of “Flight of the Conchords.” BBC4 start showing series two tonight at 10:30 p.m. As an aside, I don’t know why the BBC started using hashes instead of the actual program names in their URLs, but b00kgbcx is a small but hilarious comedy about a Kiwi two-man beat combo … Continue reading »

“Take your power back!” my therapist often counsels me during our sessions. Whenever she says it, I find myself thinking of Austin Powers trying to find his lost mojo, man. Fitting, as in the tribulations of the last few years I feel like I lost my mojo. I understood what she meant to an extent. … Continue reading »
