This, for me, is a season of change. I’ve been wanting to start changing for so long now, but haven’t. I think about change a lot, often how I’m going to change, and how I’ll fuck it up and how its just easier not to bother. I’ve had a couple of days stuck at home….

No matter how I try…
No matter how I try, I just can’t seem to get into the Christmas mood. I’m a bit of Christmas purist at heart. I don’t like the long drawn out Christmas period it reduces the impact. I would really like Christmas to be small, quiet and dark. The world is too bright these days. I…
Q: Are you going to a Halloween Party?
Q: Are you going to a Halloween Party? A: No, I’ve just had surgery So today is the day I get the granuloma removed. I’m having a day patient 1-2hr op, which won’t be fun. Living in a London Transport travel zone, I usually get a bus home. It’s effectively free because I have a…
Hospital Waiting Rooms
Sitting in the waiting room at King’s College Hospital in London, and observing my surroundings, I am amused, but not surprisingly reassured that all hospital waiting rooms are basically the same. Whenever you spend time in a waiting room you will find Rows of uncomfortable chairs bolted to the floor. A badly behaved child, accompanied…

BBC News: Thameslink and Great Northern apologise in newspaper ad for ‘ongoing problems’
More meaningless apologies from ThamesStink

For the last few weeks, commuters across the UK have been suffering from #RailFail2020 in London. There is no guarantee when trains will arrive/depart or even turn up. Once again I had a crappy journey to work, despite being at the station at the normal time I was late for work. Thankfully I didn’t have…
Nothing to say this week…
I have nothing really to say this week as I’m building up to a big rant about how my education has affected my mental health. I have been exploring this with my therapist and I’ve been working on a post for the last week. I’m otherwise well and will to be popping over to Wale…
Suffering from FailPlan2020
During the last week, I’ve been dealing with prep for a major demonstration/meeting at work as well as the changes to my commute inflicted by RailPlan2020. I would hesitate to call it a plan, very little seemed to have been communicated to station staff, train drivers and commuters alike. Since the start of the new…
