I learnt a lot about the Lithuanian culture and customs today. Simon is presenting tomorrow so he stayed at home working on his slides while I stretched my wings to the outskirts of the city and the amazingly large shopping mall there.
I met Rita about lunchtime and she showed me how to flag down one [...]
Vilnius greeted us with a torrent of ran as we landed late last night. It was still was a more than a little soggy this morning when we set out after breakfast. After stopping to buy umbrellas, Simon and I still made the most of the town. Walking around taking in some of the sights [...]
Here is an idea for some weekend fun, how about visiting the Botanical gardens in Oxford. Simon and I are endeavouring to go adventuring at least once a week, where adventuring is defined as going somewhere fun and unusual.
Last week we went down the Emergency stairs at Totenham court road tube station to get [...]
I know being British it may be considered stereotypical to talk about the weather… but I’m going to anyway. The winds were so atrocious today that their effect on our ‘Great’ British train service meant that I had to miss Pub Standards! I was really looking forward to going too, but with the prospect of [...]

When I went to university I couldn’t cook more than pasta and cheese sauce, and not very well at that. Over 5 [...]
In the rather dodgy movie rental shop down Botley road (that shall remain nameless) there is a rusty cigar tin with a hole crudely carved into the lid. A sign on the side affixed with aging sellotape is a sign in wobbly marker pen that reads “AFRICA APPEAL, PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY”. I was curious.
Me: Are [...]
Running to catch the train this afternoon, I had a bit of a shock as I almost fell over this whopper! …
Absolutely massive snail! I have truly never seen one this big in England before (The one I saw in the zoo doesn’t count!). The shell was roughly the size of a golf ball with [...]
Possibly not the best week to be flying, post a major terrorism plot, even the best security experts are recommending against it. Oh dear, since it is the one weekend Simon is not preparing or giving a talk, we are making the most of it!Tags:Current Mortgage Rates
