This Blog

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.

  • 365 Photo Challenge

    So, a few days ago Alex started up a photo challenge, and then Simon followed (don’t believe his blog when it appears to go all the way back to 13th August – he backdated the posts; it was really about a week later than that!) Aaaanyway, I’m not much of a photographer but I thought…

  • HTC Wildfire: Quick Review

    Well, as I mentioned in my previous post, my HTC Wildfire has now been connected up. I’ve now been online since Wednesday, and I’ve been using the phone quite a lot since then! One of the reasons I wanted the phone to be connected this week was because we were visiting Phil’s parents. Although they…

  • Finally… I am connected!

    That’s right, I’ve finally been connected and am writing this message from my new phone. If you’re curious, I’m using the wordpress app for Android. It seems pretty good so far although I wouldn’t like to write a novel on it! Anyway, I take back some of my previous moaning about mobile networks. Just a…

  • Quick Holiday Update

    Just a quick update because we’re currently on holiday! We’re staying with Phil’s parents for a few days. Things we have done in the past few days: visited Roz and Matt in Reading, had a look round Canterbury Cathedral, been to the National Portrait Gallery, had dinner with Alex in Rochester… I could go on.…

  • Getting a PAC Code from Orange

    I mentioned yesterday that I needed to get a PAC code from Orange in order to migrate my number to Vodafone. Well I haven’t received the PAC code yet (it’s apparently in the post and should arrive tomorrow), but I had great difficulty in finding out just how to contact them in the first place:…

  • Stuff

    In the past few days, stuff has happened. On Friday night we basically had a night in, which was rather nice! – unusual to have a Friday night in with nothing going on, so we savoured it. Then on Saturday I went up to town to buy a couple of things, including a new mobile…

  • Rev review

    I’ve written a review of ‘Rev’, the TV series, which you can find on Crossring. I thought it was pretty good for the most part, but you’ll have to head over there to read the full thing!

  • Midweek Update

    Yes, that’s right! I’m eschewing a weekend type update for a “midweek” update. In which I tell you about what’s been going on, mostly at the weekend, But hey ho, never mind. The past three week nights we’ve been out for dinner with people from church: on Friday night we went round to James and…

  • Catching Up

    I feel like most of my life I’ve spent catching up. When I was growing up, a lot of popular culture seemed to pass me by. I was quite content just to mess around with a computer, or go out and play football, without really getting into films, TV, music, that kind of thing. I…

  • And… relax

    It’s been a busy old couple of months! I think of the past two months, we’ve had one weekend where we weren’t out on the Saturday doing something. This Saturday was the last ‘big’ date we had in the diary: we travelled up to Northampton for a family birthday party (Phil’s family). Anyway, it was…
