Somerset and Holiday
This weekend we made the journey down to Somerset to see Matthew and Ellie. We started out at about 9:30 on Saturday morning, and got there without too many problems at about 2:00PM. The roads were surprisingly clear, except for the A303 by Stonehenge! On Sunday morning we went to church with them in Shepton

Two rants for the price of one!
Well, just when you wait for ages for a rant to come along, two come along at once! Although actually, with me you never have to wait that long for a rant to come along. The first was was inspired by a business card I found left on our doormat this afternoon. It was from

Much Quieter Weekend
Well, after the busyness of the past couple of weekends we had a quiet one this week! On Saturday we did a bit of shopping in the morning, and … well, didn’t do much for the rest of the day! In he afernoon Jo came round with her baby (Evie) so it was nice to

It’s coming back, it’s coming back, it’s coming…
… Crossring‘s coming back! A few years ago I was involved with a site called Crossring, started up by a friend of mine called Simon.

Lilypond
As nothing much happened this weekend, I thought now would be a good time to talk about Lilypond. Lilypond, as in, the computer program for typesetting / engraving sheet music. The reason I’ve been using it is because Chris, the co-leader of the Sunday@6 band, has written a few songs. Unfortunately he doesn’t read music,

The Concept of Ownership
Yesterday evening I was listening to music on Spotify. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, basically it’s a program which lets you listen to any one of its huge archive of songs – for free. The thing is, you don’t download any of the songs to your computer: it’s

Car buying and things
Thanks to the summer holidays, not much is going on at the moment! It’s been rather nice having the free evenings. We’ve been so busy for so long, it’s fantastic just to be able to get home in an evening and not have to go out to home group, Moore Course, youth club, music practice,

Mixed Messages
This is a rant which has been coming for a while now. The catalyst was this story on The Register. It’s all to do with feminism and glamour modelling. Personally I feel that suffragettes who chained themselves to railings to secure a vote for women would be appalled if they found out that you can
