time is sliping away

November 29th, 2007

Having all of last week away from the horrid office workplace environment, I had to go back. I remember back in both primary and secondary school wishing that time would go so much faster. Now that there is no more school there just aren’t enough hours in the day for all the things I want [...]

November 7th, 2007

What’s that rule again? Oh yeah, never cry in front of a girl. But there was, or at least I thought at the time, a very good reason.
We had decided to take a day trip. Portstewart was suggested and agreed to. The train left Botanic Station at close to 1pm, arriving at around 2:30pm. Trains [...]
