Tuesday

1. Went swimming after work today. Strangely, when I first arrived there were so few people around it was flat calm. 2. Had an email invite from Swimathon for next years sponsored swim. Shall I do it again? If I…

Fourth for 2006

I used to know exactly how many interviews I’d had – now I forget – but it’s something like 60 since the Summmer of 96 (maybe I should write a rock song by that name… *grins*). Certainly I was on…

The Friday Story

1. An odd day. Very heavy rain greeted an even darker than usual morning – so dark, so wet, that I failed to see the ocean sized puddle out the back of the house as I ran across to get…

1. Bella went to visit Aunty Gemma for the day today, and has come back microshipped and shaven down one side. An awfully large area of shaving considering the small operation performed. Next weekend, if the weather is fine, my…

I don’t like Jaffa cakes anyway!

Not a particularly great day today. A couple of bad YouWriteOn reviews didn’t start the day off too good. This is coupled with general uncertainness about my future once the Validation Tool is fully rolled out (at a yet too…

Tap! Is this thing on…

I try to write for myself, and the most part I do, but even so, I thought a few of my recent posts might have made a little bit of noise in the ether. Take this, or this? Maybe this…?…

1. Took advantage of some terribly dull and unimportant football match yesterday to get into the centre of Oxford and do som necessary shopping in advance of Venice and Beyond. Bought myself a new down sleeping bag from Blacks –…

The Birthday ‘Me’ Post

So two days on, and two days into my thirty-third year, what did I get for my birthday. Curiously all food and drink related. I got a stove-top espresso maker and cups, a juicer (which if handled rightwrong) spits chunks…

Spring days and strangeness

1. What a gorgeous day it was today. After the traffic chaos of the past couple of days, I actually managed to get to work on time today – which is good because oddly, not being a morning person I…

Five questions by drowned_books

1. Describe your ‘ideal’ woman. I think that I am more of a personality person than looks. Kind and smiley, would be musts. There should be something about the eyes too I think. Someone who is honest and trustworthy. Someone…
