Hello there! As you may have gathered from the title and the photo above, I've been reading the Irish author Kevin Barry's collection of short stories, 'Dark Lies the Island'. I've wanted to read this for a long time, ever since coming across one of his stories last year, when it won the Sunday Times short story award (here it is!). Anyways, I happened to find myself in Shannon airport a few weeks ago, and was loitering around WH Smith when I came across his book and decided it was Time (at this stage I was just coming to the end of one book and was well into another, so I really wasn't in the market for a third, but I have no control over these things).

I feel like a bit of an international jetsetter these days (oh, the glamour!): in the past few weeks I've been to Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, and last weekend I went to Oxford to visit some friends. [While all this gallivanting around is quite wonderful, it's very nice to have some time to catch up with everything and wash my socks.]

About my blog
Really, it contains a little bit of everything, from a celebration of science and the English language to the joys of travel and the Shipping Forecast. The title ('Meanderings') is a fairly accurate description of its content: I write about different things as the mood takes me, but hopefully there's something in here for everyone... Categories
