I know, I know I’ve been a bad Hex. I just haven’t been inclined to write about anything lately and a certain game has been eating a lot of my free time.

I’m going to write a new post soon and then I’ll go back and retrospectively add some of the old posts I started writing, but hadn’t finished or formatted.

I am still here, I just haven't been good at blogging for ages.

I am attempting to rectify this!

Had a fairly good Christmas this year, loved the Christmas snow!

Below is a list of all the stuff I got!

Un-shockingly I didn’t make it to 50k words this November for NaNoWriMo. I just had too many other things going on and after missing three day’s worth of writing due to going out and other commitments it felt more and more difficult to catch up. Eventually around the 20th I gave up. I got a little under 20k words written in the end though. Which ( Read more... )

For some insane reason this year I signed up to do NaNoWriMo. For those who don’t know that is; National Novel Writing Month.

After last year’s disaster with the Arts & Humanities course at the Open University, I decided to go back to what I know. This year I started my first Engineering course (T175). It’s much better suited to me. Computers and technology are what I know, already this course is a lot easier for me to get my head around. Some of it is a little too simple ( Read more... )

My birthday was a pretty quiet affair this year. No-one could really afford to do much and I was still a bit ill with a cold I couldn’t shake. I met up with Claire and Tony at Zero Degrees (I know, not very original but they were meant to have a new menu!). When Nick and Rob arrived we headed for FOODS! It wasn’t until I got home I realised my ( Read more... )

On the Friday afternoon I met up with Janine and saw Tim Minchin. Well I say ’saw’, unless we jumped up and down we couldn’t actually see anything as they’d draped black fabric over the metal fencing. He was great as usual. Caught some of Streetlight Manifesto and then The Horrors, saw a little of the Deftones. Saw Florence and the Machine and she ( Read more... )
