Hi! I’m Adrian and this is the little corner of the Internet that I call home.
My goal is to remain furiously curious about the world we live in, whether that’s science, art, stories, music or just about anything else.
Please dip in and feel free to leave a comment on any of my posts. I hope you find it an interesting – maybe even fascinating – place to visit for a little while.
I love reading, but I also like to write. I keep telling myself to do more of it and some of my little stories, snippets, prose and verse can be found here.

- The Insufferable Persistence of St Bagnes the BiliousYesterday was a day of toweringly high hopes and immense disappointment. I had an appointment at the hospital for them to check out the workings of my gallbladder and see whether my percutaneous cholecystostomy (a.k.a. gallbladder drain, a.k.a. St Bagnes the Bilious) could safely be removed. I’ve been stuck with St Bagnes for six weeks… Read more: The Insufferable Persistence of St Bagnes the Bilious
