Articles in Me and Mine
So the snow has, fingers crossed, finally gone. Brrrrrr. Sadly it’s still cold and as a result I’ve been subsisting on tea, onigiri and beans on toast … and ramen. Yes I have the world’s …
So I’m off to Japan in less than two months. Huzzah, argh etc. As a result I wanted to get some more business cards done and the lovely Craig of Project Studios, who did my …
So I’m full of the lurgy and made a point of going to bed early last night. Some time around 2:30am I heard a banging coming from downstairs. Ceri has been known to headbutt the …

Snow snow snow snow snow. It’s everywhere and just keeps on falling! We’ve had over three weeks of it now and it’s getting to the point where enough is enough. Still, it is pretty. There’s …
This is how I’m spending my new year, with my girls (Mama Isis is on the left and Ceri on the right). New Year is always a sedate affair for me and this year is …
It’s been no secret that I’m not a happy bunny being a freelance journalist. I’m sick of the constant struggle for work, for money, for respect and the basic decency usually afforded to every other …
Can you smell the snow in the air yet? Apparently we’re due some on Wednesday and I’m a little excited, even if I hate becoming housebound. But I digress. Yes, the tree is (still) up …
In my purse, there is a battered fifty pence from 2000, minted to commemorate British libraries. It’s tucked away in a pocket I seldom go in, a special place where I will completely forget about …
Autumn is finally here in force. Leaves are falling from the trees, the air is getting cooler and you can almost smell the approach of winter. It’s that crispness when you walk outside first thing …
This week, despite my PC woes, has been a lot of fun. In an odd way, it’s changed my outlook on life by reminding me I don’t actually have to be surgically attached to my …
I firmly believe the universe is all about balance, karma and swings and roundabouts. So, I’m not exactly sure what I did to end up with a broken PC (though I suspect it has something …
Ah the weekend, I was totally blissful until I realised Ceri had an accident when I refused to get up and let her at at six thirty in the morning. Lovely. It’s not really her …
Since I bought my first iPod way back in 2006, I’ve had something of an on-again-off-again affair with Apple. I started with a fifth generation iPod, one of the video ones. Then I got an …
In this day and age, everyone and their pet goldfish seems to have a website of some kind. Mine has been down for a couple of a months while my lovely web designer worked hard …
So, Cataclysm was announced. Didn’t see that coming (/sarcasm). Actually it was nice to be proven right, I find after working in a WoW-related field for a few years you start to be able to …
I love my cats, I really do. Ceridwen is a tad hyper and needy, especially when it comes to being let in/out at stupid times. Isis is quiet (unless Ceri is out, in which case …
As any of my regular readers know, I have a bit of a passion for photography. I recently bought myself a DSLR and signed up for a photography course that my local council is running …
My eyes annoy me. For the past several weeks I’ve been suffering from chronic eyestrain and light sensitivity, indeed the latter was so bad I ended up with a migraine. Not fun. So I’ve got …
I have a hard life. No seriously. I’m forced to get up at the crack of dawn to ensure my hooman is awake and eager to feed us. I actually had to jump on her …
Ah summer. Balmy evenings with a cider in hand, watching Ce-chan frolic while her mother snoozes safely inside. Bliss. Tonight was wonderful – except no cider because I have a cold – at least until …
At first sight she looks awful, indeed Mama Isis feels so tiny. As I stroke her tiny, emaciated frame I can feel every bone in her body. When I sit at her level, she rubs …
Outside is so much fun just not for Mama Isis. Mama Lesley left me on my own again this morning and she came back really late. It turns out while she was at Auntie’s getting …
Mama Lesley has been nervously preparing for the day when she would have to let me go outside. She thought I would go find Mama Isis and disappear without a trace, so she started taking …
Rain … it’s been coming thick and fast. Oddly always after I water my new pots … I think my rhubarb plant might actually drown if this keeps up. Fortunately the rain led to the …
Wow, things have been so hectic! I’m taking a leaf out of my editor’s er blog by doing a quick round of up post of what’s being going on.
Last week Isis escaped and I don’t think I’ll ever see her again. She disappeared out of my partially open bedroom window at around 4am in the morning. Said window was open to let in …
A week ago I was approached about an awesome freelance gig and this morning I posted my first blog entries on Massively.com and WoW Insider. I’m mainly working at Massively (click here to view my …
*PURR* Don’t we look cute? This is, strictly speaking, Mama’s basket. She likes to hide and watch the hooman work but sometimes I go hunting for Mama milk and squish in there with her. The …
So the Parental Unit rings me for a chat about ISAs, vomiting kitlings (Ceri-chan is feeling a bit better thanks) and then she comes up with this gem:
“You never going to believe who I saw …
Ahhh, our new home is so comfy! Mama Isis and I are settling in very well, much to the hooman toy’s delight. We’ve been here three weeks this Caturday and each week we get more …
