It’s been a busy day. Had to be up at normal time this morning to get down to London for my Nan’s funeral. It was a good funeral as they go – a very fitting tribute! I’ve also hired (or reserved) a van for moving on Saturday into the new place. Also I am getting…

Just another ‘the weekend’ post 🙂 I did go to Ikea on Saturday, and picked up some nice furniture – quite cheap, too! Travelling there wasn’t too bad until you actually got into Lakeside, it wasn’t so much that it was busy – it was just knowing which exit to take on various roundabouts! Still,…

Well, tomorrow it’s off to Ikea to pick up some furniture for the new flat! I know that a lot of people don’t like Ikea because (as someone said to me yesterday) “we’ll all end up with houses that look exactly the same!”. This is true. But still, I think it’s a good place to…

I noticed the other day that Simon had acquired for himself a Blackberry, meaning that he could send and receive e-mails on the move. This means that he can use Blogger’s “blog by e-mail” feature to blog on the move… Now, I would just like to make it absolutely clear: X-Blog will NOT be providing…

I realised just now that I hadn’t actually posted anything up about the flat! It’s very nice 🙂 We’re on the fifth floor of a block. This means that it will be more difficult to carry stuff upstairs (I’ve got some stuff in the car, I’m not looking forward to having to cart that up…

I’m just trying to get to Google’s #1 weekend for “The Weekend”! Nah, not really. On Friday I went up to Colchester and me, Philippa, Phil P and Phil B went to ‘Cheesy Tunes’. It was good, apart from the DJ who was on from about 10-11 didn’t get off the mic! I was pretty…

Well, I’ve got some good news and bad news. Good news and bad news for me, that is, not for anyone reading this – but, um, yes. The bad news is, my Nan died yesterday 🙁 I think in the end it was more of a blessed relief, but still. The funeral will probably be…

I’ve just done a tribute mix to Ferry Corsten. He’s a DJ who was very influential in the trance scene in the golden years of trance – around 1999. If you’re interested, have a look on the forum post – be quick though, it’s on YouSendIt — i.e., a limited number of downloads!

I suppose I’d better make the customary “The Weekend” post 😉 Um, yes. This weekend I haven’t done a lot. I’ve spent a few hours preparing a talk I’m doing at the Anglican Chaplaincy in just under two weeks. On Saturday evening I went to see (or listen to) the University of Essex Choir sing…

I was so keen to tell you about upgrades that I forgot to mention the important thing – this blog now has an RSS feed. If you’re using Firefox, you should be able to see it, just check out that little orange icon down in the bottom right. You can use an RSS feed reader…
