Or I think I was in a past life!
Having read Rebecca’s post here, I feel compelled to share this with you.
Look at my spangley earring. It is so pretty. It is from Accessorize! Super shop.

Alarmed to discover that someone has come across my blog with the following search term:
“hack password protected post wordpress”
Message to all would-be WordPress PPP hackers out there: you are evil. Bad bad hackers. Go to the naughty step. No information for you here! Ha.

The second…
So, we are currently whipping through the countryside somewhere between W and B. It’s a dead pretty part of the route and the sun is up but it’s over to my right and big and a gorgeous burnt orange red with a dark cloud over it. So many people sit on the train with [...]

Today has been a rubbish day.

My sore throat has gotten worse with every passing moment thanks to muchos coughing

This morning I received this email from my dead friend Nanu. It is too deliciously silly to not share:

Right, well, they’re not Worcester Sauce flavour But they are Wheat Crunchies. And they make up part of my lunch today, along with a really unappealing ham sandwich and three Maryland cookies (choc chip and hazelnut variety).
Meh. I hate packed lunches.
My order of preference of Wheat Crunchies goes as follows:
Worcester Sauce
Spicy Tomato
Big Cheese

Guys, you may (or, more likely may not) notice that I just went on a bit of a password protecting spree. For those in the know, these newly-protected posts need the “usual” password to access them. For those not in the know, to become one of those in the know you need to do one [...]

I am wildly in love with DYLAN MORAN!
He is just super. Fabulous. Gorgeous. Hilarious. Incredibly sexy in a rather odd way. Intelligent. Humble. Wonderful.
And lots of other emphatic adjectives besides…
Oh, the man is a comedy God (and delicious to look at as well). And a good actor. And irish. Regional accents, I like them. Even [...]

I have drawn a diagram to help illustrate the warfare that I described in my last post. Just a quick recap:
At Westminster Underground I change tube lines and make up way up three escalators to the Circle and District lines. As I am usually already late for work, I often walk up these escalators - [...]

This tells me a few things:
