Angelic Paranoia

I listened to a podcast years ago where Susan Calman got friends of hers to introduce her to new hobbies. One of them involved going to an art gallery and appreciating paintings by looking at them from different angles. And then an episode of Crowd Science (another podcast) also involved going to an art gallery... Continue reading

I went on holiday recently and did four things I've never done before, which plenty of other people have. Sat in a car with tinted windows I didn't plan to do this, but my taxi to the station turned out to have tinted windows. Which I didn't properly notice until I got in. I'd always... Continue reading

It's the return of I've Never Seen Star Wars. I'm still not doing it every month, but will hopefully do more than last year, where I managed it twice (and the year before when it was three times). Back at the beginning of the first lockdown I thought I'd like to try tap dancing. There... Continue reading

I recently saw some melty cheese, so bought it on a whim. And then wasn't sure what to do with it. I put it on pizza and it was really nice. As I usually have toast for breakfast at weekends I thought I'd try putting some cheese on it. The reason I've never had cheese... Continue reading

The return of I've Never Seen Star Wars! In December 2019 I tried some coffee - a latte (milky coffee) to be specific. The trouble I had with it was that I was expecting it to taste like a hot chocolate (because a hot chocolate is the only other hot drink I've had and it's... Continue reading

Last week I paid for my petrol at the pump. I've never done it before, I've always gone into pay. But I thought this would be easier, no need to interact with people and since I have a small tank and I fill it up when it's half full, then I could just wave my... Continue reading

I'd heard of The Good Place, but really all I knew about it was that it was an American TV series. Then, on the Hitchhiker's 42nd anniversary evening they mentioned that The Good Place owes a lot to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So I thought I'd see what it was all about. It...

You may have noticed it's really not December any more. That's because just before Christmas I had a bad dose of labyrinthitis, coming at the end of two months of crazy business at work. So I am still catching up with everything and this wasn't top of my list. Due to this, I am going... Continue reading

Another busy month, this month, so I am going to drink coffee. This was done in an actual episode of the radio series, although I forget who it was. Technically I have drunk coffee, when I was a child. I found that the more milk you added and the less coffee the better it tasted.... Continue reading

This month I watched How to Train your Dragon. Before I saw it I knew nothing about it, except for the title and that it was animated. And it wasn't what I expected at first. Not least because the beginning of the film had a lot of loud battles and mumbling. But eventually it got... Continue reading
