If you’ve visited this blog before, hello again. It’s been a while. If you’re new here, welcome to what has historically a blog from the late 90s and early 2000s that got increasingly inactive as life, family, kids and work took over. These will be here to stay, but as you all know, the past…
RIP, Martin John Crossley Evans. You weren’t my warden during my three years in Bristol. But you were the warden of Manor Hall and a mentor to many who lived there, and didn’t live there. At least among the people I hung out with, if anyone referred to “Warden” we all knew that was you,…
After 2.5 years of playing a game called Star Trek Fleet Command and serving as an alliance leader, it may well be time for me to call it quits. Here’s why…
Where I muse about how I’ve recently started profiling my children to improve my relationships with them.
So I finally watched the movie that everyone’s been talking about (i.e. those who have watched the movie and loved/hated it, and those who haven’t watched the movie but also have opinions on it).

After various server and blog problems this year, including haggling with an increasingly disengaged web host which I will no longer recommend, I (too hastily) deleted the WordPress blog I had set up and re-imported my old Movable Type archives. So I’ve lost some posts between 2014-2017. No biggie there. Hope this works and stays…
After largely ignoring my blogs for much of the past few years, I realised that my web server was upgraded to the point that my outdated blog software doesn’t run properly on it anymore. After using Movable Type for so many years, and bearing with the complexities of upgrading to newer versions, I have decided…
Much has happened since my last post. I’ve given up trying to write the perfect update that would reflect the activities during the several months’ hiatus from blogging. In short, I’m now the mother of a precocious 5 month old boy who is just as active outside the womb as he was inside it. Life…
