Moss Side = The Wire:

Pretty topical bit of news for me here considering I live just outside of Moss Side and have been spending the summer watching all of The Wire from start to finish.

Life as a bum - less fun than it looks.:

I’ve been an official bum for just over 3 weeks now and I’m very very bored of it.
To begin with it was nice, sit around all day, watch tv, read books, apply for the occasional job.. Now I’m just…

Economics, not as boring as it may sound (lie):

I’ve devoted this afternoon to learning Economics. You may wonder why on Earth I would do that. I am doing the same thing. Hmm.
The truth is I have a tutee over the summer who I have to help through…

Orange Wednesday:

I’m waiting for George to text me from work to tell me if she’s too knackered or not to go to the pictures today. She started at 7am bless her so I would not be surprised if she didn’t want to….

I am NOT a drug dealer from the projects:

Quick round up of my weekend..:

I’ve had a busy few days since my last post. I have dyed my hair blue and red, which is exciting. It turns the water blue when I wash it.

Good morning.:

I’ve got a lot to do today, because I didn’t do anything yesterday. Instead I decided to bleach my entire head of hair. Turns out I do not look good blonde, I look like a scary albino. It’s ok though…
