Time goes too quickly, as it seems to disappear faster and faster as I get older. I read something in a book named Blink (reviewed on the reviews page) which said that the reason every day feels like a year when you are a child is because you are constantly learning new things, seeing new things etc. Whereas, as an adult, so much of what you see if familiar. I hate that! This bank holiday felt like an eternity whilst …

I think (although hopefully I will be wrong) that I am getting a cold…AGAIN!!! I have decided that it cannot be related to my diet or my exercise regime because recently I have been extra healthy with my food and have been working myself very hard in the gym / at rowing. No, the root cause of these colds is work! Yes, that’s right. This time I think it’s a combination of stress making me tired and a general code …
Yes, it’s Friday again. However long the week seems to be, by the time we actually get to Friday I am always really surprised that the week is already over! It’s probably because whenever I get to Friday, I have never acheived as much as I hoped out of the week. This is what I miss about uni – I had such control over my own work.

I think the fact that the sun is setting makes this storm cloud look even more imposing. There’s no rain at the moment, but from the look of it it feels …
The Olympics – yay! I have just been watching the highlights of the first day of rowing heats and I have forgotten how much I enjoy watching international rowing! The heat of the M4- had me shouting at the TV . Team GB had quite a good first day from what I have seen. Alan Campbell got through to the semis of the men’s single skulls and, the aforementioned men’s coxless four also won their heat. The women’s double skulls …
I swear that far too often at work these days I (and my colleagues) are asked to do the impossible. We’re not closed to a challenge; something difficult is always not necessarily welcomed but at least taken on board. However, everything I seem to be working towards these days seems completely unacheivable, and not just to me. People who have a lot more experience and no-how have voiced the same concerns. It’s just really infuriating that, despite this, people still …
