I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

  • The Weekend

    You know, I almost forgot to do a “The Weekend” post this week! But, fortunately enough for you lucky, lucky people, I’ve remembered in time! So, what did we get up to this weekend? Well, it was fairly busy… Philippa was being a bridesmaid for her friend Julie from home. We headed into Kent to…

  • The Way is Shut…

    “The way is shut. It was made by the dead, and the dead keep it. The way it shut.” So read Curly, Blondey and Shorty as they prepare to go and raise the undead army in “Lord of the Rings”. Why am I mentioning it? Well, I was thinking about it earlier as I came…

  • How to Survive a Robot Uprising

    Apologies for the random title – this is my regular “The Weekend” post, but I just wanted to mention a new book I’ve just ordered from Amazon, entitled How to Survive a Robot Uprising. Needless to say, I had to buy it just because of the title… I can’t let something like that pass me…

  • DVDs: they’re like buses…

    … you wait ages for decent DVDs to come along, and then three come along at once! OK, there are only a couple I want to mention here, but still. I was browsing through Play.com, and I came across a couple of DVDs which I have now ordered 🙂 The first one is Green Wing…

  • The Weekend

    So… it’s time for another “The Weekend” post! Yay! *ahem* On Friday, Philippa and I went to see “Clerks 2” at the cinema. More on that story later. On Saturday, we went into Norwich to get a wedding present for the people Phil is being a bridesmaid for in a couple of weeks (their wedding…

  • SX Express

    Bit of a random post, this one… we went round to Alex’s this evening, and got talking about song parodies (amongst other things). I was reminded of one I wrote ages ago (well, a few months), but didn’t get round to posting up here. Possibly for fear of being sued for libel, but hey ho!…

  • The Weekend

    As I’ve already told you what I was going to do this weekend, just a quick update today! On Friday we drove down to Kent to stay with Philippa’s parents for the weekend. It was a fairly trouble-free journey! On Saturday, while Philippa was out, I cleaned the car. Phil’s Dad gave me a hand,…

  • Quick update

    This week, I have been mostly doing… not very much! On Tuesday evening we went round to Alex’s for dinner, who made us a Lasagne (thanks Alex – it was very nice!). Yesterday, we went over to Wivenhoe to have a drink with Alex and Phil P. It was good to see Phil as we…

  • The Weekend

    So… what did we get up to this weekend? Well, I’ll tell you. On Friday night, we didn’t do very much. On Saturday we did some shopping in town, we bought a new CD Rack from Argos (which is OK, but I wasn’t very impressed with the construction of it!). In the evening, we went…

  • Holiday Snaps!

    I’ve uploaded our holiday photos! They’re now in a Yahoo! Photos album. I think there are a few duplicates on there, but not many! Changing the subject complete, on a geeky note — I found this the other day which I think is a brilliant idea if you find out anyone is using your wireless…
