I went to Romania! I wish it had been under better circumstances, of course. It’s not a holiday when it’s prompted by something urgent. Thankfully Charlie came out right as rain. Not that that was any real surprise. He’s much too tough to keep down for long. He could probably still drink me under the table from his sick bed. Luckily no one gave him ( Read more... )

It was so bad I couldn't even smell developing chemicals. I suppose it was my own fault, staying out all night when I was already feeling ( Read more... )

I hope everyone had a good time out last night. I was out all day covering the gnome plague in West Yorkshire, and while I was setting up a shot one of the little bastards tried to gnaw through my ankle, so after I wrapped everything up I had to go to the a and e, and then by the time I got home all I felt like doing was going to bed.
