		<description><![CDATA[This is one of those posts that simply has to be published now — this second, this minute, hot off the metaphorical presses — else it will languish forever in the ‘entries that dare not speak their name’ file. I never used to understand that particular proverb — “revenge is a dish best served cold” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a terrible analogy, but sometimes when I look back over my experiences of therapy — yes, I have been known to see psychotherapists; do you wish to make something of this subtle revelation? — I can’t help but equate them with an academic course where I only got to study part of the syllabus.

		<description><![CDATA[… it’s cold. 1. The entry begins Waking up on Saturday morning and realising this fact (that it was very cold then, just as it’s still very cold now), I immediately turned on my central heating — which, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, had automatically turned itself off at 8.45am in the belief [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Write less — Stop imagining that all your emails need to be epic literature; get better at just keeping the conversation moving by responding quickly and with short actions in the reply. Ask for more information, pose a question, or just say ‘I don’t know.’ Stop trying to be Victor Hugo, and just smack it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would just like to offer my sincere apologies to the woman sitting opposite me on the District Line earlier tonight. I really didn’t mean to stare at you on repeated occasions during your journey from Westminster to Ealing Common. The only explanation I can offer is that you looked uncannily like Tessa Jowell MP, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This New Year’s Eve, I received seasonal text messages from the following far-flung locations: Putney, somewhere in Kent, Bristol, Bolton, Doncaster, Munich, Johannesburg, New York and Kyoto. Truly, my worldwide network of friends and relations is shockingly cosmopolitan. The ‘nu yr txt’ (see what I did there?) seems to have become the 21st century version [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, I know it’s been quiet, but I’ve been busy — sleeping, mostly. I’m on leave from work this week — such a rare occurrence that I’m surprised it’s not made the newspaper front pages — and since I can’t afford a holiday, plus the weather is too grey and miserable to really encourage me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You shouldn’t believe everything you hear on television, particularly not if it’s something you pick up via a frankly implausible TV drama series that relies on a great deal of style over substance. On the other hand, suspending all rational powers of disbelief and gasping out loud in glee can be great fun, and livens [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, I haven’t really been in the right state of mind to make decisions. Any decisions. About anything. Even the simplest choices have proved too mentally exhausting. I’m coasting. Letting life happen without my interference. Possibly without my interest too. However, today I have managed to reach one utterly momentous yet irrelevant decision. I need [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So according to BBC News, the Genesis probe is heading home to Earth, following its mission to collect particles of solar wind from the Sun (in other words, it’s a bit like a glorified dustpan and brush). Now, forgetting the fact that I wasn’t even aware of the existence of the Genesis probe — always [...]]]></description>
