Time eats memories. I recall the circumstances and the events, but I can’t place her name. Darren and I were living in our first house together, in Jesmond, Newcastle. It was a big, old and ugly place. The landlord had divided it in two by sealing off a central doorway; …
Airports are funny things; I either arrive with plenty of time before my flight, or (less frequently) in a flustered rush. When I’ve got time, I usually seek out a bookstore/newsagent. Airlines still work on the deluded premise that passenger electronic devices in flight mode might somehow disturb take-off and …
