Let’s face it, I’m unlikely to finishing tweeting the stag do, and seeing as it’s the wedding tomorrow, I’m just going to go for it here instead. That said, I am going to post the tweets I did make, and I’ll see what’s left to say at the end! Off to a stag do in […]

Well, here we are again at another Lent. Going for the slightly boring route of “biscuits/snacks” for my Lent this year. Puddings and starters are allowed, it’s just those extra biccies at work/home/church/youth group which are getting the chop. To give up puddings and cakes would be a bit sad, as our wedding anniversary and […]

I’m just getting into Twitter (as you’ll have noticed if you know me on Facebook, or have looked at my homepage), and so far I like it. It feels a bit like coming full circle – when I first started blogging, it was a mini-jotter for any random one-line thought I had, and kinda grew […]

Don’t normally got for these meme thingies – but why not, eh?! Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. Instructions: Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read. Add a ‘+’ to the ones you LOVE. Star (*) those you plan […]

Sigh – just broke the blogging part of my website, which means the long and elegant prose which I spent the last hour composing is now lost forever. I think it’s fixed, but I can’t really muster the enthusiasm to write it all in again, especially as I’ve got just about enough time to watch […]

I’ve been thinking about the associations I make between songs and people. Typically it goes from a song to a person – i.e. I hear a song and immediately a person comes to mind. I don’t mean the singer/band member (except for one or two cases), just ‘ordinary’ friends of mine. The reason it’s interesting […]

Came across this interesting experiment on the beeb website: BBC News embarks on a unique project telling the story of international trade by tracking a shipping container around the world for a year. The Box It caught my eye for all sorts of reasons: I was at college with Declan, who is fronting it (or […]

My son and heir is often coming out with very funny things. The ones he doesn’t intend are generally more amusing: God knows everything.… Just like Funky Monkey (Funky Monkey is a glove puppet, by the way). On another occasion, the three of us are snuggling up in bed on a Saturday morning, in companionable […]

I went karting on Friday, for a colleague’s leaving do. I have been before – once – at a Butlin’s or something, but to be honest that was a bit noddy. The carts where single engined, and the track was indoor, but what fun! It was absolutely fantastic, and I loved it. I wasn’t particularly […]
