A Change in the Temperature?

Was walking home today, and for the first time in… too long… it was before 5 p.m… and for the first time in too long, the sun was still up.  On the way out, the sky a non-descript 10/10 grey with a hint of bruising around the edges, but daylight, not sodium light, was the …

A New English-Chinese Dictionary

So, I’ve been learning (with abject results) Mandarin, and to help me on my way I’ve been given a Chinese dictionary.  It was bought in a second hand book shop and judging by the copyright page (which is all in Chinese) was published in 1979.  It is very clearly geared towards Chinese speakers learning English, …

The Dictionary of Bullshit

This post is a shameless plug. It is a shameless plug for my Dad. Now… as you may have gathered from previous posts, I come from, heaven help us, a family of writers.  We did not, by the way, set out to be a family of writers!  Oh no!  When I was 7 years old, …

Long Time…

So, once again, it’s been an age since I blogged. Here’s why…. RADA!  (Ate my life.)  We have been putting on a production of ‘Company’ by Stephen Sondheim which featured among its many lighting features… deep breath… UV cannons, mirrorball, 18 moving lights, 2 robocolours (thank you Royal Opera House), 1 glaciator (thank you National …
