		<description><![CDATA[Last year my husband and I saw a couple getting married on a calm, sunny day on the steps of their beautiful brownstone apartment in the East Village of New York. It was the perfect romantic moment. This being the city of contradictions, however, meant that while tears welled up in my eyes I was simultaneously hoping that they had schooled up on New York's bizarre divorce law.

		<description><![CDATA[Having moved to a new town, and with time on my hands, I felt the time was ripe to enrol myself in a night school class.&#160; I confess to fancying myself as a linguist, though I really shouldn't as my conversation skills in reality only extend to please and hello in about 5 or 6 languages, a paltry collection of Japanese phrases and just enough Italian to get by and crack the odd joke.

		<description><![CDATA[The smell of testosterone was in the air as I sat eating lunch next to a bunch of Oxford rowers. While trying to keep pieces of fatty meat from revisiting my plate I also had to listen to them celebrate the downfall of feminism.

		<description><![CDATA[I have never been a particularly great cook and don't profess to be one now, but on passing the milestone recently that is turning 30, I have reflected on the fact that one good thing about getting older is that I seem to be getting a heck of a lot better in the kitchen.
One culinary aspect that's been receiving more of my attention of late is the art of making curry.  I've always been a fan of a good curry, but my attempts at rustling up one from scratch a few years ago had always been disappointing and I found myself instead relying on the trusty jar of Pataks instead of making my own.

		<description><![CDATA[Just over 3 weeks ago, with Sheldon (our ever increasingly clapped out VW) packed to the gunwales, the boy and I drove off into the sunset in search of a new life in Paradise Square, Oxford.  After only 3 weeks, with the interruption of Glastonbury in the midst,  and 3 days of the week spent in the suburban limbo of Uxbridge, I can't say I feel like much of a local yet, but it certainly feels cool to be discovering somewhere new.

		<description><![CDATA[There is something going on in UK sport and it has people talking. I am not talking about Tim Henman once again failing to advance through Wimbledon, or the dicey form of the English cricket team. The chatter is about the rise of Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. For those that have not been following the motor sport racing news, Lewis Hamilton is a 22 year old from England who has debuted this season and has been on the podium at every race and currently leads the championship. He qualified fastest for the British Grand Prix – the first Brit to do so in eleven years. Oh, and he is ‘black’.

		<description><![CDATA[It was a miserable night, and after spending the previous four nights on the lash (thanks to a long weekend), I found myself unsurprisingly jaded and so trekking out to Hammersmith for a gig was not exactly what I felt like doing.

		<description><![CDATA[&#34;Your mum and I don't watch CNN, it is too biased towards the US perspective, we prefer the BBC&#34; my dad states when I ask him which news channel he likes to watch. I laugh thinking the BBC is somewhat biased too but his statement gets me thinking, is not all media biased in some way?

		<description><![CDATA[That's what we were. Lank. We had good reason to believe that we could win the Cup, and an unofficial ranking of third represents both a creditable outcome and a fair reflection of the team’s ability. Meh.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the downsides I have noted about living in a big city is the amount of planning required.  I may be wearing the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia, but my memories of life in New Zealand didn’t involve vast quantities of coordination, planning and booking ahead.  As I recall it, there was a lot of last minute, ‘what are you doing tonight?’ calls, and many occasions of throwing stuff in the car on a Friday and driving somewhere when the weather was looking good for the weekend.
