Finally gave in to the call of the geeks, I now have a del.icio.us account. After using it for a few days, I think it’s a good idea, with just the right balance of functionality versus simplicity. I’ve now accumulated … Continue reading →

“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” Ge 8:22 Every harvest, the usual bible passages are rolled out… Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song … Continue reading →

Spent the morning wandering around Kew Gardens with Nige and some of the people he’d acquainted himself with on PBase. Even though I only live ten minutes down the road, and I’ve been to Kew itself to shop, I’ve never … Continue reading →

Played snooker last night against Ed. I stormed into a 3-1 lead with some not so shoddy potting, even a colour clearance somewhere in there. However complacency kicked in/Ed picked up his game and the evening finished at 4-4 frames … Continue reading →

I was glad my car is now back in working order as I travelled back to Bristol for my mum’s birthday. For some reason, public transport is even more difficult when it’s long distance and short-notice, so I was glad … Continue reading →

One of those weeks and it’s not quite over yet. The week started with me dropping the car off at the garage as there’s oil getting in the cooling system – thought of blown head gasket/cracked cylinder head/oil cooler gone … Continue reading →
