Who could believe it?
It’s still only March The sky is a deep blue

10 things to remember about St Valentines Day
Next month is February. The month that sends shivers of fear down most men’s spines. For February is that month, that month when we men must, above all the other months, have our wits about us.

I wrote this a long, long time ago in another lifetime when I was working in a British university. Training days are now a thing of the past. So, great. Another Training Day for the office. A day, when, according to the Office Administrator, we can get together and learn to be a team. This is despite the fact that I hardly see any of my colleagues, imprisoned as I am, in the ex photocopier room, in a sort of salaried solitary confinement situation. We all have to clear our di
