A while back tinyjo pointed me in the directon of the new 10 Downing Street online petitions system, and this one. Well they’ve made a decision and it seems that I will now be legally entitled to buy a CD…
Continue reading1. You can’t call it training, but it is exercise. Tonight, I swam 48 lengths in 50 minutes. Not bad, but if I am to ‘beat the hour’ with my 60 lengths, I need to do better. If you haven’t…
Continue readingNot entirely sure what to say about today. It was not your typical ‘Monday’ by any means, but I’m not sure what it was. It wasn’t quite this, and it wasn’t quite right. Some of the pieces weren’t there, but…
Continue readingToday has largely been about words for me, and I like words… 1. Critted (is that a word – probably not but it sounds better than Critiqued) three chapters of someone’s book on CritiqueCircle. I wonder how much critting you…
Continue reading1. Got up early (yes, woken by John Humphries and the Today programme) this Saturday morning. 9am I had an appointment for an overdue haircut. One of these days, I might be brave enough to change the style, but for…

Continue readingAmazon are now selling 1GB usb memory sticks for 15 quid or less. I now have one of these. I could have spent even less, but where as those often have caps that get lost and/or broken, this one has…
Continue reading1. Got woken at 3 o’clock this morning by wind – no blustery gales – and I’m sure rain. However later on, the lake outside my house had gone down a bit, so I don’t know. At the Green Road…
Continue readingIt has come to my attention that there was error in a recent entry to this journal: I can’t help thinking it’s Tuesday 9th January 2007 11:03pm http://shepline.livejournal.com/424244.html It was stated in Section 4 of the article, that ‘the Divinity…
Continue reading1. Bella lost her collar again last night. Only a week after the last one, so of course that’s another £10 for that and a name tag… 2. Went swimming after work today, and doing 36 lengths in a not…
Continue readingWell, I managed this last year, had some fun doing it (yes, really!) and it did keep me swimming 🙂 so I’m going to do it again. Same distance (because I’m not that silly!) but I will try and beat…
Continue readingMy story has been too complicated. Working through the reasons that Ódinn/Gyrdir/Gunnlaugr needs for the the story to work out, it actually is much simpler that you might think. What does Gunnlaugr want? He has been cast-out of his world…
Continue readingAnyone living in the UK will of course be aware that, following the days of fog pre-Christmas, we have been treated to days of rain post-Christmas. It has, to put it simply, been very wet. So wet in fact that…
Continue readingIn trying to figure out how I need chapter six to go, I have read through Part Two again – aurora_floyd I appologise! How could I force you to read such a disorganised mess. Don’t get me wrong, there is…
Continue reading1. It’s been a grotty day today. It has rained pretty much all day, and I went into Oxford today with hope that I might find something and in the end spent nothing. Which is I guess good, but on…
Continue readingFlicking between radio stations on the way to work in the dark and the wet this morning, I stumbled upon BBC Oxford – yes, yes, I know, how could I even think about stooping so low…?!! Anyway I heard an…
Continue reading1. The new spam filter software that my webhosts have just implemented is fantastic. Where I would normally be receiving bagfulls of the stuff, now I just get one easily consumable digest email which gives me the opportunity to release…
Continue readingSo, Little Chef have called in the receivers – it’s hardly surprising really when you think about it. The truth is people don’t stop at Little Chefs any more; not like they used to. Time was, when you were off…
Continue reading1. …and the holidays are over. 2. Today was another glorious, sunny day in the forest and we went a good walk up Chilly Hill, and along the ridge and back down round Pitt’s Wood. On the way back up…
