Motivational Monday – My “Life In A Day”
As it currently stands… The view from The Bridge…
Minds Music Monday – Woman
We’re one week into spring and I was thinking of choosing something that was symbolic of heralding in spring. But it also wasn’t lost on me that tomorrow is International Women’s Day and I should pick something for that also. So…what to do? Ah, well…what pops into my head is Woman – with the theme…
The Sunday Round-Up
I feel as if the blog is getting a tad neglected while I keep on with my academic pursuits. So here is a brief round-up of recent things of note. Firstly – at 1pm GMT today, Jim will be taking part in a show on BBC Radio 6 Music with Liz Kershaw titled “Legend In…
RIP Shane Warne

I wish I could have finished my post from yesterday before the announcement of European mainland tour reschedules as I truly lost my train of thought as soon as I saw that. And my post was leading somewhere, even though it diverged off into one of my usual tangents. I wanted to share this picture….
Anxiety Ascending
Assignment week. I don’t like it! I have absolutely NO CONFIDENCE whatsoever! The assignment is in two parts. Both parts require a 600 word essay. I’ve written about 550 words of part one, with no real belief that I am doing what is required of me AT ALL. And for part two I have a…
