I’m looking into fitting glass doors to the bottom shelfs of my three bookshelfs. Remembering how the one that I had when I was ‘ickle worked I wanted to do this myself by getting some glass doors cut and then…

Sunday 11 May 2008
…one line, of note, that has met the axe as a result of revising my novel. Now that Hannah is Kirsten, there is no need for the authorial nod to the two Hannah/Hanna Katla conundrum. Whilst the story is better…

Sunday 11 May 2008
This weekend has been a quiet one; a not unwelcome change after the action of the last. We had a nice walk in Stoke Wood amongst the new season’s leaves and bluebells before retiring to the garden (if mostly under…

Saturday 10 May 2008
We have just been to look at the cutest old house ever. It’s a little two-bedroom cottage of Cotswold stone, south-east facing big, walled garden, and situated in the centre of Bicester. The downside of it is that being in…

Friday 9 May 2008
Despite being a man and a bit overweight I come out at having another 20,500 days more to live, which umm … makes the summer of 2063 not a great year for me. Biological Age: 34 Virtual Age: 17:8 Average…

A much more successful (and thus enjoyable) band practice tonight. I actually managed to play my flute to a halfway decent standard which is always good. Last week, in case I forget was awful â spending much of the first…

Thursday 8 May 2008
For the past couple of days I have still needed to wear my jacket for the cycle ride into work. Today I had to unzip mid-way with the heat already building, and the sun so, so nice. The smells of…

Tuesday 6 May 2008
I’ve always liked Little Clarendon Street. It’s cute, and nice, and kind of continental in feel. This morning as I cycled down it in the crisp morning sun the waft of smells reminiscent of a foreign town came across me….

Monday 5 May 2008
I know that the British always joke about the Bank Holiday weather, but actually, in my experience, the May Day one’s are usually pretty damn decent. And today, was no exception. Having done our jobs on the hazy Sunday before,…

Sunday 4 May 2008
Today has been a good and productive day. Although we didn’t get up very early (the second time) that was because we’d already been up for 3 hours and had a good walk, so it didn’t feel too wasteful having…

Sunday 4 May 2008
We’ve just gone back to bed, having already had breakfast. But why, I hear you ask? As decided yesterday, we got up at half past three this morning, dressed, and wiped the sleepy-dust from our eyes, and drove up to…

When you want to be together for longer, but can’t because no one is wanting to buy your house, and both parties have the responsibilities of their own cats, something has to give. It sounded like a crazy idea when…

Thursday 1 May 2008
So the Bank of England are saying that the credit crunch may be over? Well hears hoping. Maybe, just maybe, this kind of news will start to filter down through the housing market and things will start moving again.

Wednesday 30 April 2008
I’ve been feeling a bit sad and miserable and disjointed all day. Ordinarily I would say it was just the effect of the torrential rain and grim skies. I’ve also been worrying about whether I’m going to get everything done…
