Life as she knows it: May 2010
http://hayleydunlop.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Life as she knows it. General musings of a chic geek. Monday, 31 May 2010. Cache me if you can. I discovered something new today: GEOCACHING. The official blurb says:. Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. I've always loved a good treasure hunt. No, no, no," Dad insisted, "It'll be fine as it is.". When the ...

Life as she knows it: Page against the machine
http://hayleydunlop.blogspot.com/2010/11/page-against-machine.html
Life as she knows it. General musings of a chic geek. Thursday, 25 November 2010. Page against the machine. I had a really eye-opening moment in London Bridge train station yesterday and it's been playing on my mind ever since. As I was weaving through the crowds between the underground and the overground stations, I spotted an advert for an iPad. It's an advert which I've seen countless times before, but for some reason last night, I stopped and thought about what I was looking at for the first time.

Life as she knows it: The extra hour that never was
http://hayleydunlop.blogspot.com/2010/10/extra-hour-that-never-was.html
Life as she knows it. General musings of a chic geek. Sunday, 31 October 2010. The extra hour that never was. Twice a year I am baffled by the sheer volume of intelligent people who are totally and utterly fazed by the clocks changing. In the UK, the vast majority of the population have coped with this time-related quirk twice a year for their entire lives, so you'd think we'd all be used to it by now. OK, I'm thinking about this too much now. Time for bed. Or is it? I checked my phone at about 3am (I wa...

Life as she knows it: Two thousand and then what?
http://hayleydunlop.blogspot.com/2011/01/two-thousand-and-then-what.html
Life as she knows it. General musings of a chic geek. Monday, 3 January 2011. Two thousand and then what? So that was the year that was. It ended very pleasantly indeed, with a wholesome trip to the countryside. May I heartily recommend paying a visit to Home Farm Slot Car Circuit. If you're ever in or around Liphook in Hampshire. This was the most fun I've had in ages - and the perfect "sporting" pastime for a competitive soul such as myself. And onto the 'end of the year' bit. Nice drinks and dinners.

Life as she knows it: December 2010
http://hayleydunlop.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Life as she knows it. General musings of a chic geek. Tuesday, 14 December 2010. Soft, strong and WRONG. Time is turning me into a right cynical so-and-so. Case in point: I saw a news article. Sadness aside, perhaps I'll create a 'YEAH I TOTES LOVE THE NEW CGI ANDREX PUPPY, THOUGH PERSONALLY I PREFER CHARMIN BOG ROLL' Facebook group just to prove that us consumers aren't that easily manipulated. Oh my God, it's worse than I thought, Andrex have actually created a Facebook page themselves.

Life as she knows it: The Mayfly Project
http://hayleydunlop.blogspot.com/2010/01/mayfly-project.html
Life as she knows it. General musings of a chic geek. Saturday, 9 January 2010. For flagging up The Mayfly Project which she discovered on Meg Pickard's blog. The Mayfly Project is this:. At the end of every year since 2000, we invite readers to look back on the last twelve months of their lives and reflect on what has been important, defining or constant during that particular year, and then sum their year up in just 24 words. I know it's a little late, but here's my 2009 in 24 words:. The Top Floor Flat.

Life as she knows it: Collecting: sussed
http://hayleydunlop.blogspot.com/2011/01/collecting-sussed.html
Life as she knows it. General musings of a chic geek. Monday, 10 January 2011. Just before Christmas work was crazy. Then on one busy day I received an e-mail that was so unexpected that it pierced through the craziness like a laser and filled me with absolute joy. Where he displays photos of every pen he possesses by country. I felt strangely proud, and his pen-aticism got me thinking about the notion of 'collecting', and what drives people to do it. I've never been much of a collector. The only tim...
