I haven’t posted in awhile, and that’s because I’ve been very busy.
This is the breakdown of my average weekday:

Factoring in weekends, it means I spend about 34% of my week doing things that have to do with work. I sleep 37% of the time. And I have 29% of my time free to do as [...]

Due to my morning and evening commute on the sweaty London Underground, my daily intake of the printed word has increased. I recently read Generation X by Douglas Coupland and it was a really fantastic book.
Click here to have a look at it.
Tahnee got me into Douglas Coupland, and the first book I read by [...]

As an update to friends and family, Rob took me to the beach to camp for my birthday. It was fun, and also sandy. And sometimes wet. I am opposed to wet clothing and especially combining it with sand. But despite all that, I had an amazing time. Thanks Rob! [...]

First of all, I’d like some comments back on this post if you have the time. Right now I’ve been thinking quite a bit about health and healthcare perceptions in the United Kingdom as opposed to the United States. 
I have to admit I haven’t been watching much TV here, so if you do watch TV [...]

This past weekend was Rob’s 28th birthday, and we had a few Yeadons in town to celebrate – Mutty and Pappie (or as I call them Mop and Pop) and his sister Katie.
Among our excursions was a trip to the Tower of London, which I had never heard of and doubt many Americans will have [...]

Did I make it to Mutty’s 60th Birthday Party? Yes, I did. It’s amazing how much better I felt in the morning. My ear was feeling still a bit weird, but I took some paracetamol and took on the day. 
We spent some time with Izzy and Lewis, which is always fun. And later that evening, [...]

In America, sick can mean a stomachache, a cold, a headache, cancer, anything really. As I understand it, in England, sick means sick to your stomach. Ill means you have a cold. So I’ve been ill.
On the trip home after the wedding, I had a bit of a sore throat, and as the days went [...]

Why has it been so long since I’ve posted something? Getting married can be exhausting. I cannot imagine how it is for those who plan a big event. How do you have any fun when all you’re doing is planning things and making sure things go as planned? What I like about our wedding is [...]

This past weekend was Katie’s (Rob’s sister’s) 30th birthday party, so we drove up to Barnard Castle in the band van to join in the festivities. Katie booked a hall and had catering. As well, the alcohol was abounding.
Rob played piano in the band, and we all got to hear Katie sing. I got to [...]

The internet is very important for keeping in touch. We haven’t had internet because we’re switching from the landlord’s provider to our own. And today we finally got internet, by chance. I just happened to set up the router so it would be ready when we do get internet, and for some reason it was [...]
