Name:
Location: Offshore, United Kingdom

I'm an indecisive, stubborn, fiercely independent person who is saving up to be eccentric. In the meantime, I can variously be found living in scattered locations, taking up hare-brained schemes, and plotting an escape from reality. This must be the furthest I've got so far.

Found my niche in the sporting world

For all those who have despaired at my lack of sporting ability, you will be pleased to hear that I have found my hidden talent.

On saturday I was in the winning raft team in the Jura Regatta.

I discovered that I know more than I thought I did about boat building:

I discovered the amazing properties of silage wrap, both for use of rafts and humans:

I discovered that simplicity is sweet (in terms of design)


Now ladies and gentlemen, I am glad for your sake that there is no photographic evidence of me

  • Discovering my secret identity as Cap'n Juliana Pegleg
  • Looking like I'm taking part in the 'Jura Wet T-shirt' Competition
  • Being pelted with flour, eggs and waterbombs by the lovely children of Jura
  • Coming *not quite* last in the open sea-swim race (brrrr!)
  • Learning how to eat lobster claws *so not good table manners*
  • Discovering that there is no such word as 'no' to a scottish person
  • Learning how to strip the willow and do the gay gordon (we're talking dancing now, not bizarre sexual practices)

I'm not sure what more I can say about that, I'm still recovering!!
