If you live in the UK you’ve probably noticed that it’s been a bit chilly recently. Today was no exception – fortunately the office at work is pretty toasty.

For years I’ve had loads of regular Alan tics. I work with a man called Alan who’s generally very good at ignoring these and distinguishing between a ticced Alan and a when I’m actually trying to get his attention.…

I’m not very well at the moment – I’ve had a cold for the last few days and it’s making me feel pretty miserable. But I cheered up for a bit earlier when I told Will about a discovery I’d made at Fat Sister’s party at the weekend.…
