The world is split into two types of people, me and everyone else. More helpful than that, it is divided between Introverts and Extroverts. The world is ruled and dominated by extroverts, perhaps because introverts don’t want to speak up. Introverts make up roughly a third of the general population but are often overlooked or… Continue reading Speaking up for Introverts!

Falling out of love, with Football
Today is the one year anniversary since the London 2012 Olympics. I’ve said how much before I enjoyed it but what I didn’t realise at the time would be how it changed sport for me and it seems I’m not the only one. In Britain, the number 1 sport is and usually was football (soccer)… Continue reading Falling out of love, with Football
The Royal Gun Salutes For The Baby Prince
Following on from my blog post yesterday, I thought I thought some people may be interested in seeing the gun-salutes in central London yesterday. Gun salutes can be fired from land or on the sea and are a traditional sign of welcome or respect. They use blank cannon shells as a sign of friendliness in… Continue reading The Royal Gun Salutes For The Baby Prince
It’s a boy! New successor to the British Crown.
Yesterday will go down in history, not only was it the hottest day since 2006 but at 4.24pm a new successor to the throne was born.

The Man Who Planted Trees and The Green Wall of Africa
About five years ago, I watched part of a short animated film entitled The Man Who Planted Trees. It is the most lovely short French film (an English version can be viewed here) and it tells the story of a man in an early 20thC European Alpine valley that was desolate and empty of life… Continue reading The Man Who Planted Trees and The Green Wall of Africa
How To Get Rich Using Airbnb
This week I wrote a small How-To ebook/kindle book entitled How To Get Rich Using Airbnb. It’s in all good book stores, well Amazon UK, USA, Lulu and iTunes anyway. I wrote this book for two main reasons. First of all having written a few pieces of between 30-50 words recently for a competition, I was… Continue reading How To Get Rich Using Airbnb
Surviving The Scorchio Summer
It’s nearly the middle of July and surprise, surprise it is sunny and hot here. It may be sound unusual to find someone surprised of summery weather but it is a genuine surprise to everyone in London and not necessarily a good one apparently. I remember growing up and it was hot or at least… Continue reading Surviving The Scorchio Summer
Happy Blogday to me
Today is a slightly less than momentous day in the world of blogging as it is my first year anniversary of starting my blog…. or rather yesterday was. However I had a big job interview yesterday so instead today is my blogs birthday. When I started off blogging, it was always something I had wanted… Continue reading Happy Blogday to me
My Zombie Safe House – Where would you go at the end of the world?
Obviously this is a stupid question that I don’t expect anyone to answer for a number of reasons. First of all, with all the ways the world could end, zombie apocalypse is unlikely to be the one. Secondly of course, officially Zombies don’t exist (although Russia is reportedly developing a serum that turns people into… Continue reading My Zombie Safe House – Where would you go at the end of the world?
