Just realised I haven’t updated this blog with a customary “weekend” style post! Although – not very much happened this weekend. We went to 21 on Friday night, wherein I sprained my ankle when playing a game. I was resting for most of Saturday! I did watch “West Side Story” in the evening which was…

As per my usual habit of combining two completely unrelated topics in one blog post, I’ve decided to talk about two things today. Firstly, politeness. I’ve noticed a couple of examples of things recently which seem polite but, on reflection, perhaps are not. The first thing is, holding doors open. The general idea being that…

This weekend was pretty busy, but it felt longer because we had Friday afternoon off. The reason? We were going to see Muse at the O2 🙂 We left mid afternoon and got there in good time. We got free entry into the British Music Exhibition with our tickets, so we had a quick look…

Yesterday my new Zoom G1XN arrived. For those of you who aren’t into guitars, it’s basically an effects pedal that gives you a whole load of options for how you want your guitar to sound – heavily overdriven, reverb, delay, chorus, modulation, compression – that sort of thing.

A year after migrating to Linux, I wrote: But what I wanted to say is: would I ever go back to Windows? Never. I’m experienced the power of the Open-Source side, and I have to say I am a convert! Well, guess what? I’m going back to Windows! As you will probably know if you…

I’ve just received a new laptop. I’ve been looking longingly at new computers for a while now – ever since Phil got her new laptop. My computer is getting a bit old now and suffering a little from the problems that seem to come with age. So I decided that I needed a new computer,…

As I posted up on my Twitter account recently, we’ve been having a few internet problems. Basically I noticed that our Eclipse broadband account was a bit out of date. They’ve restructured their pricing but we were still on the old price, so we were actually paying over the odds for our broadband! Anyway, I…

It was half-term last week, so we had no 21 to go to! Phil was wedding dress shopping with her sister though, so I was left on my own. Fortunately, Alison had a birthday meal on Friday night so I was able to go to that 🙂 It was a really nice evening – we…

My latest article on Crossring is up. It’s based on Mark 6:14-29 (the death of John the Baptist). You can read it here 🙂

…the cats will play. Or, did I get that the wrong way round? Anyway! Phil was away this weekend, so it was just me for the most part. On Friday evening we went to Rollerworld for the 21 social, which was good fun! I didn’t skate, but I did play Quasar. On Saturday, my parents…
