1. 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 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 readingHelen recently posted a list of ambitions and things she would like to achieve for the year ahead, the large part of which seemed to ring true for my own ambitions, so I’ve nabbed them, and ammended them for my…

Continue reading1. Bit of a giggle today. The Observer had my stars for next year printed. What can I make of this then…? Gemini 21 May-20 Jun ‘Don’t Fence Me In’, a song written by a Gemini (Cole Porter), makes a…
Continue readingI give up and trying to keep count of the various plans we’ve had, but I think that, if the first two were Plans A and B, then we must be up to around S or T by now. First,…
Continue reading1. So, to Boxing Day. After my pictorial glimpse of Christmas Day itself, maybe some words are in order? I had very nice day, and got a good stack of books to read along with Diana Krall’s new album and…
Continue reading1. This morning was hauntingly beautiful this morning. Still as foggy as ever, as the sun rose, so the mist that shrouded the land lifted, and illuminated the New Forest. Every cobweb was coated in silver, and tall grasses stood…
Continue reading1. Fog. The BBC Weather 5-day forecast for Oxford is for fog, fog, and a bit more fog all the way up to Christmas. Did I mention that it has bee foggy here today? Damn foggy. At one point, I…

Continue reading1. This morning, upon coming downstairs I found the little Icelandic warrior removed from the second shelf above the desk, and in the armchair. Upon replacing him to his shelf I discovered that my Nutcracker soldier was also missing, but…
Continue reading1. Not as productive a weekend as I might have hoped, or at least not as a productive Sunday… I did do some novel revision, although I didn’t finish chapter three. That said, I *might* have finished chapter three. When…
Continue reading1. Last night was the work, ‘Las Vegas’ themed Christmas party, and although I say so myself, I think it was probably one of our best. Lots of people, all having a good time, Elvis back in the building, a…
Continue readingI didn’t mention that yesterday when I woke up, I dreamed that it was Saturday, and so I overslept. Not significantly you understand, but enough to place me in the full Oxford rush hour. Today, it was different. Maybe it…
Continue readingA couple of days ago, Radio 4’s PM programme asked listeners to send in photos of what they were doing at 5pm on Tuesday 5 December 2006. The results are quite interesting… ( window on the world ) Amongst the…
Continue reading1. If yesterday was dull, then today was mind-numbingly, sleep-inducing, tediously boring. Synergy is still screwed and short of approving a few things to go absolutely no where at all, I would have had a more productive and worthwhile day…
