Coyote Ugly Clockstoppers Lilo and Stitch Phone Booth The Core Charlie’s Angels 2 The Matrix Revolutions Phone Booth A Beautiful Mind Lovely and Amazing And some games… SOCOM II Prince of Persia: Sands of time Ghost Recon: Jungle […]

Isn’t it strange how compelling other people’s lives are? I feel like I could spend all day reading other peoples’ weblogs, when actually nearly all of it pretty innane nonsense (much like this one!). In one sense, I still reckon they’re not so different from columns in the press. Should probably mention that baby boy […]

October to January – not so good! Anyway, Happy New Year – we’re just off to have a baby this afternoon, so probably no updates for ages (sorry!)

Well, a long time since the last update, but I least I have the excuse of having been away for a week! We went to Centre Parcs, in Sherwood Forest, which was actually a really good holiday. The villa was very comfy, with excellent heating, plus an open fire! They more or less ban cars […]

Oh dear, back to business as usual as far as regular updating goes!! Still, had a most surreal morning this morning. Arriva trains started a new timetable today, which included a loco-driven 4 carriage train – the type with the clunk-click doors (that you have to lean through the window to open). Nothing too odd […]

Lovely weekend. Sister-in-law came to visit, which was nice, and we didn’t really plan to do very much, but ended up getting quite a bit done on the house. The ladies did a bit of weeding, I (finally) fitted our night-light to the front porch (which, incidently, is light sensitive, controlled by a circuit I […]

Well, PGL trekker from 11 years ago’s response was: “I’m sorry – I don’t think I remember you.. Did you have longish black curly hair, and did we sleep together?”. What an awesome response – made my day! (she was joking, by the way.) We swapped photos, and she did remember me, and we’ve been […]

Lots to say today, but I’ll probably forget it before I get to the end! I was writing to some old friends last night, and it suddenly occurred to me that I’ve got the wrong idea about these weblogs type things. I was thinking of them in terms of newspaper columnists and fame or fortune, […]

I had my first shower for 8 months this morning! Ok, so that’s not strictly true – well actually it’s a complete lie – but this morning was the first time since January that I have had a shower at home where I’ve been able to stand up and not have to hold the shower […]

H’mm – still no luck finding any decent info about Claudia Winkleman – the best I’ve come up with is some stuff on the BBC website, which has got a nice-ish picture.
