Alright, confession time… I think the last time I had my hair cut was in December last year. Yeah. The death throes of the PhD write up will do that to you. I even went through a brief phase where I convinced myself that I was “growing my black out” so I could bleach and do the…

A couple of weeks ago I was invited along to the #RoadToRio event at Cabana Brasil in Leeds, to get a taste of their latest lunch menu offerings. Although I had never been to Cabana before, I’d seen some really good things online and was excited to give them a try – as was Dan, my…

Exchange Restaurant Review – The Great Victoria Hotel Bradford
A few weeks ago I was invited for dinner at the Exchange Restaurant at the Great Victoria Hotel in Bradford. Living in Horsforth, it’s only a 20 minute drive away from our house so my plus one for the evening was of course my lovely Dan. Sitting opposite the train station, the Great Victoria is…

Goodbye 2015, Hello 2016…
I’m pretty late posting my annual goodbye x hello y post and I’m not going to apologise, I haven’t felt much like writing. I think I’ve been avoiding this one because this last week has been horrendous, and in writing this I feel like I’m making things more real, you know? I’ve beasted through a…

The Great DA Debacle : Why you should stop giving a fuck about pointless metrics
This morning seems to have brought a surprise Moz update, adjusting the DA (Domain Authority) scores of heaps of bloggers. Cue Twitter shitstorm. Waiting for the bus into the office this morning, my timeline was full of bloggers upset that their scores had gone down, or rejoicing like it was Christmas come early because of a…
