So I forgot I hadn’t posted this. Oops. We left Todi and had a mammoth drive through Italy, Switzerland and France. It was slated to be 10 hours of driving, but things didn’t go to plan. Leaving Todi, we hit Italian rush hour which was a bit interesting and I had to concentrate hard to […]
I haven’t been on a decent holiday abroad since…well, since I bought the house. That may be a coincidence… Anyway, Sean and I have been planning a trip to Italy for a few months now and it’s almost here. Tomorrow afternoon, I leave work and drive to Cardiff to pick Sean up. The next time […]
I am fairly seriously pissed off at the moment. Every organisation has its own internal politics – it’s just how life is. Some play power games, some want money, some build empires, and some just want to get on with the job. Politics in voluntary organisations can be particularly bad – it’s not that surprising […]
On Saturday, Sean is moving in. Well, OK, he’s lived here over the various University holidays over the past three years, but as of this Saturday, he’s finished his degree. He’s packing up the last of his things and throwing them in the back of his still-new-to-him car and bringing them here. Am I excited? […]
I’ve been spending a lot of time in Aberystwyth recently – the last three wekends have all been spent up there and I’ll be going up next weekend as well. It puts a little strain on the car and finances but it’s worth it. Sean’s been working all hours to get his production sorted – […]

…that Sean has just spent the last 10 minutes trying to justify why he thinks that Patrick Stewart, Sean Connery and Anthony Stewart Head are sexy?
The past few weeks have been mostly unbroken by shrill beeping of the pager with the exception of the regular Thursday night tests. That is, until Saturday. And it’s been a bizarre series of callouts. After doing my Ambulance shift on Saturday, I headed up to Aberystwyth. Sean and I headed out to a Greek […]

I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I posted anything here. So much has happened recently… I’ve not really been responding with the First Responders recently because of something that happened to me that has caused huge repercussions through my whole life – my car died. Now, I believe in Bangernomics – running […]
Sean and I were quite happily sat at home yesterday when the pager went off for an area call. As Sean called out the grid reference, I tried working out where it was…until Sean called out the location. “Abertridwr.” “I…what?!” I grabbed my pager and laptop and threw the grid reference into StreetMap – sure […]
