Last night I went to the London Bloggers’ Meetup Group’s Summer Social at Doggett’s Coat & Badge. The room we had overlooked the Thames, giving us a great view of the City’s skyline, from St Paul’s to The Gherkin, and the boats travelling up and down on the river below. Quite a few of us…

Berocca’s Bloggers Relief Packs – update
Recently, I wrote about Berocca and their Bloggers Relief Packs. Here’s the update: I was really excited about getting a Bloggers Relief Pack but frustrated by the stupid delivery company who only wanted to deliver to me at home during the hours I work at work. In order to receive my package of nicknacks for…
The No-F-Words Warrington
Stella Artois is sponsoring the London Bloggers’ Summer Social next week, so we can look forward to a glass or two of cool lager… They’ve also challenged us to describe our local watering hole in 150 words or less, stating the reasons that keep us going back, sooooo I wrote a poem. No one said…
Fun for foodies
Last night, I was surfing the WordPress foodie blogs when I found Evolution of a Foodie. This San Francisco-based food-lover with a paralegal day job features all sorts of weird and wonderful gadgets on her site, including the Ex knife block, the voodoo toothpick holder, and my favourite (so far, anyway) the Hillary Clinton nutcracker….
What’s in/on your refrigerator
Pat Coakley of Singleforareason fame, has issued a couple of interesting blog challenges recently. There was the ‘What’s on your refrigerator?’ challenge, and now there’s the revealing ‘What’s in your refrigerator?’ Here’s why I didn’t participate in the first fridge challenge: See? There’s nothing ON my fridge. Usually I love weird and whacky magnets, but…
Berocca Bloggers Relief Packs – About blogging time!
Following a recent London Bloggers’ Meet-up, Andy Bargery posted a note on the Meet-up site to say that Berocca, that fizzy vitamin pick-me-up in a glass, had launched a Bloggers’ Relief Pack. If we bloggers were interested in receiving one, we should follow this link and apply. Well, I’m very excited to say that Berocca e-mailed…
Blogs to make you laugh
On a lighter note, here are some blogs and posts which have made me giggle a lot recently: The Fail Blog, where people submit photos of anything that has obviously failed to go as expected, Where the hell is Matt? which follows Matt as he dances his way around the world with the support of Stride…
London Bloggers: School in Session!
Last night I joined fellow bloggers for another rendezvous of the London Bloggers Meetup Group. After some humming and hah-ing about which venue to assemble at, we found ourselves back at the Coach & Horses in Soho, for a night of blog-ducation. M3Mobile sponsored the evening, buying beers for the first twenty-ish people. I must…
Epic Blogs 2: Christian Skoda, A nomad forever…
I first found Christian Skoda’s site, Nomad4ever, when researching some future travel plans. The name intrigued me. A nomad forever? I had to find out more. There, I discovered a man after my own heart; someone who believes there is more to life than the mythical 9 to 5 (more like 9am to 9pm, if…
Epic Blog Series – 1. All The Dumb Things
Ever since I started blogging, I’ve found it fascinating and enriching to get to know some other bloggers. One of my first blog-pals is Razzbuffnik, who writes All The Dumb Things. The reasons I’d recommend visiting his site include his fantastic photos, covering every sort of subject from seventies’ Cambodia to a firebreathing Razz and…
Epic avatars
This morning I’m quite chuffed because I’ve worked out how to change my avatar (proof that my potential as a geek is growing). The truth is, every time I looked at my old one, it reminded me of French deli windows, making me hungry and I’m already battling with a few extra pounds so that…
A Blogger’s Night Off
At long last, my first foray into the Official Blogging Scene happened last week, courtesy of London Bloggers Meet Up. Organised by Andy Bargery, who valiantly appeared in spite of battling a Nasty London Lurgy, this was just as fun as I’d hoped. What a great night! At the Coach and Horses in Soho, the chosen…
