I cycled home, tired and a bit grumpy and as puffed my way up a hill, I noticed a gang of hooded youths on the corner. I had to go past them to get home.
“Great”, I thought “Now I’ll get some rude remarks just to make my day”.
But instead, one of them pronounced, very loudly [...]
Relationships are always a tricky balance of compromise and one of the more thorny subjects for me is social independence. Whilst of course it’s essential that you can go out and have fun as a couple and with your friends, I also think it’s crucial to have some social life outside the relationship.

Tall Tom is due to come to my flat for supper tomorrow for the first time since our first date. Inevitably, this evening has been mostly spent folding, tidying, baking and other general domesticity (I realise this probably counts as false advertising but hey).
So having wasted lots of time on all this stuff he probably [...]
I cycle, lots. And fair distances (50-100 miles a week). Cycling that far leads to kit:Cycling shorts, helmet, gloves, neon stripes, clippy/cloppy shoes etc. None of which is attractive, sadly (show me a woman who looks hot in cycling shorts and I’ll show you someone I hate).

It’s really cold at the moment [...]
I am feeling faintly foolish, but happy. Tall Tom emailed this afternoon, explaining that he’s been working 18 hour days this week and apologising that this has meant our communication’s been a bit off [LG feels v.guilty at this point for having had such negative thoughts].
Tom then went on to say he’s really looking forward to [...]
Reading all the comments on the previous post has made me realise I’m acting like a neurotic madwoman. Sorry. The combined effects of
being cold all week (no heating at work)
sore back
being uber-tired (too many grim client dinners that go on late)
being stressed (too much work… grrr)
have made me a not particularly balanced individual. But better [...]

Good manners. You know the kind of thing - everything your mother told you. Politeness, tolerance. Asking nicely, being polite, saying thank you, stepping aside to let people get off the tube, giving up your seat to someone more needy. It’s a wonderful thing. Steph’s got a point about all this [...]
At a drinks party last night, chatting with people, Tall Tom kept creeping into my mind.
Someone mentioned a film they’d just seen and I wondered whether TT would like it. I saw some impressively impractically dressed girls (a cocktail dress for an outdoor party in January, I ask you) and wanted to call TT and [...]
To make a change from endless lime-and-sodas, I suggested Tall Tom and I went bowling. Cracking idea for a date, you might think. Except the minor detail that I have a dodgy back which temporarily escaped my brain. Dangling a heavy weight off one arm in an inept and unpredictable fashion wouldn’t be a particularly [...]
I’ve been a pretty regular blogger over the last 18 months (too regular, some would say), but it’s been fun. I’ve enjoyed feeling part of a community and loved all your advice, rude remarks and chivving comments. You’re stars, the lot of you.
But with mad work, the mad cycling and everything else at the moment, [...]
