Blogging Friday
In: diary
28 Jul 2006Well, I’m off work for four days, today through to Monday. Just decided to take a couple of bonus days to relax, and catch up on a few things. Amongst other things, I’m trying to write some blog posts on my various blogs, just to get back into the way of writing.
Went shopping in Oxford [...]
More storm
In: diary
26 Jul 2006Well just as I was trying to sleep last night, we got hit by another summer storm. Not only was it loud, but I could feel electricity in the air. Really odd, I got an impending sense we were going to be hit by lightening twice, not because I was being paranoid, but because I [...]
Storm 2006
In: diary
24 Jul 2006Mad on Saturday, got caught in what given our weather lately, it could be almost fair to refer to as a tropical storm. Roads flooded out, the store we were in may have been hit by lightning, and at one point we were disasterously beaten by the rain into a wine bar. Tragedy! Even odder [...]
Can still walk
In: diary
21 Jul 2006and see this as a bonus. Did indeed do the cycle ride I suggested, see the photos down on the right hand side to see where I got to. Just finding this so freeing, getting to explore more. The main aim here is to lose a little weight and get myself into a bit of [...]
This is not my beautiful back. These are not my beautiful knees

Pleasing Norman Tebbit
In: diary
19 Jul 2006Well it has been far too long since I cycled, and my bike had fallen into very poor repair. It was about time I did something about it. So a few days ago I oiled it. This was a good start. Things moved that didn’t look very likely. However the brakes and the gears were [...]
Animal not-very-cross ing
In: diary
17 Jul 2006So a week or two ago, I lost my Animal Crossing game. Now I’d put a few months into playing this, nutured my town, expanded my house. I was horrified at the possibility I had lost it.
It turned up in the washing machine. And what is more, it worked perfectly. I now believe that DS [...]
Okay, so things look a little different around here

13 Jul 2006I have taken the blue pill, and moved on from Blogger to Wordpress. I have been mouthing off about it for long enough now. It was time to change. This is a nice theme to make do for the moment. What was quite impressive was that with a bit of preparation and backing up, Wordpress [...]
