Bloggers v journalists, unnecessary enemies

Bloggers v journalists, unnecessary enemies

In A Bundance ― At a conference of bloggers the weekend, amongst the general loveliness of it all, there seemed to be one or two notions about journalists and journalism that gave me cause to sigh deeply. As someone who has, over the years, worked for, among others,... (more)

Bratlag - or how it's almost good to be home

In A Bundance ― I had time to amble about taking picturesI've been home for more than 24 hours and I'm just about over mine. How about you? I'm talking about bratlag - similar to jetlag only less exotic. It's what happens when you leave your children for any period... (more)

Hailing Black Cab Wisdom

Hailing Black Cab Wisdom

In A Bundance ― Hot foot from Cybher - the blogging conference for women - my head is rather full of things to write and stuff to do. But where to start? I'll begin with the most frightened looking person in the place. London cabbie Mark Soloman was shaking when he... (more)

Review: Emeli Sande's Our Version of Events

In A Bundance ― Music, yeah. It's nice, innit? Generally that's the extent of my commentary on contemporary choonz. These days, the music is what happens to make it past fairly constant Radio 4 and whatever the kids/Panther of News is playing. I'm just as likely to... (more)

Little rant: how Xbox LIVE will try to mug you in your own sitting room

Little rant: how Xbox LIVE will try to mug you in your own sitting room

In A Bundance ― Hamesucken. Wonderful word, it is from Scots law and refers to someone being assaulted in their own home. It nearly happened right here tonight, but luckily I think I managed to evade a serious mugging. Boy Two had nagged me for days about the new... (more)

Is it time for a change?

Is it time for a change?

In A Bundance ― Alert: Navels may be inspected. There's been a little voice in my head for a while. (No, not that voice. I don't like to talk about that one.)It keeps saying: "It's time for a change. Do something different. Go on. Get on with it."Then I came across... (more)

Commercial break: Are you likely to turn green at the thought of pollution?

In A Bundance ― Colour is everywhere, red for danger, black for your mood on a Monday morning when the alarm rages into life, blue for the colour of the sky on long summer day - the list is endless, but today we are concerned with one hue in particular - Green,... (more)

Ben Nevis: Soreen to new heights

In A Bundance ― It all began at the tail end of last year. Half way up a hill with Fionaoutdoors we suddenly realised that neither of us had climbed Ben Nevis. Something of an omission, we agreed, shortly before deciding that walking into blizzard and gale had... (more)

They had me at "we'll supply you with Soreen"...

In A Bundance ― Inboxes are funny old things. One minute they're full of once-in-a-lunchtime offers to do something you don't fancy for a few quid off and dodgy press releases, and the next well there's something wonderful. And on one day last month, it was an email... (more)
