Time to read: 4 minutesSo I’m looking to move back to London, and more actively since the announcement of the futher rise of train fares in 2013. I already pay £280/month for my commute. If I could find a flat in zone two, that cost would halve. Of course living in London costs more, but if my rent+council tax […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesIt all began with a simple tweet. Marks and Spencer advertised Autumn outfit ideas, and posted the link to a page with a nice scrolling gallery. Looked like flash. It wasn’t, it’s designed in HTML/CSS, making it in theory very accessible. I browsed the gallery quickly, all items popped up as “out of stock” when […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteLondon – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – French – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant The pricetags do not quite match the food. I suppose that’s the only reason this is getting a 3. Despite the tastecard discount, I am still not impressed. The flavours were nice enough. The scallops cooked very well. The tortelloni […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteLondon – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – Bistros Food: Excellent Service: Lovely but sloooooooooow. Do not go there if you are at all in a rush. Bonus: Takes TasteCard (even on Fridays) for 50% off the food. Also has absolutely lovely armchair seats. So the slow service is happily tolerable, even pleasant. Favourites: Calamari […] continue reading »

Time to read: 2 minutesWell this is new! Knowing from the get-go that my current position wasn’t going to last forever (nobody wants to clean powerpoints for a lifetime), and that there is no room for moving up, I have been contemplating labels, careers, paths, and suchlike, in an effort to figure out what it is that I might […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteRichmond – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – Steak Houses A well-kept secret, Richmond’s edition of the popular Gaucho has perched itself just by the waterside, under a massive oak tree (is it an oak tree? My herbology isn’t up to scratch). It has lovely seating both indoors and outdoors, with wall-to-wall windows making a […] continue reading »

If it weren’t for a special offer we all had, this wouldn’t have been worth the money by a […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteI am no longer sure how I found them, but I just discovered theory design, a UX / UI company based in Canada. There was a blog post by someone about retro-style sites, and theirs featured. It’s pretty! I loved the colours and the very post-2010 single-page-scrolling content layout, complete with static header with cute […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteWe’ve all heard about not bashing work on facebook or checking in on foursquare if we’re sick at home… What nobody had heard of before though, was an athlete being kicked off her national team for a joke. A rather racist (no, not racy) joke, but a joke nonetheless. Hell, I smirked when I read […] continue reading »
