A Weekend in Vermont

I’m back! I realise that I haven’t posted in two months and I’d like to say that it’s because I’ve been really busy doing important things but the truth is that I just couldn’t think of anything to talk about and I’m really good at procrastinating. Like gold medal good. But I’m back and you’re stuck with me (unless I don’t get round to posting for another two months).

Snow Joke

Yesterday in Boston we were hit by a snowstorm and some pretty cold temperatures.

That Awkward Moment When You Forget You Live in a Foreign Country

Sometimes I am a total idiot and I forget that I live in a foreign country. Sometimes this doesn’t come back to haunt me and sometimes it does.

Happy Monday!

I’m back, I’m over the writing fatigue caused by NaNoWriMo and ready to spend more time on my blog again.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Now I know that Brits don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but as I happen to live in the US now I do end up celebrating it and also enjoying a rare day off. 

Oh Crap

That is all.

The Arboretum

If anyone ever asks me what my favourite place in Boston is I always tell them that it’s the Arnold Arboretum, a beautiful wooded park in the city that is my refuge from actually being in the city.

An American Experience

One of my favourite things about living in a foreign country is that people are always suggesting American cultural experiences that I can’t miss but I have to admit I’ve been pretty lax at doing them so far.

Food for Thought

Every country has its favourite foods and as an immigrant living here I am often asked what I think of various American staples.

The Matter of a Small Election

Like many people I’ve been watching US politics over the past year with a kind of horrified fascination, shocked but unable to look away.
