I've still got a whole lot to write up in here – aside from the Wales Trip, the Falconry trip, and several bits of morris dancing, there's now last night's mission to The Great British Beer Festival, and soon there'll be the 450 foot abseil for Cancer Research UK. All that can wait, however one…
So tomorrow's the day for the big abseil ! I'm absolutely bricking it, although not entirely surprised that all my well-intentioned plans of getting some practise in before the event haven't led anywhere useful. Happily, the forecast for tomorrow seems to be sunny. At this stage, I'd like to say a public HOOOOOOOOOJ thankyou to…
Firstly, I'm back from Dublin – came back on Thursday. It was only a 2 day/1 night trip, and on that basis there wasn't really any chance to do any sightseeing, etc. But a good trip nonetheless. And yes, I managed to sneak a Guinness or 2 in. Haven't had a proper dummy spit in…
Right, just got back in from The Cat Empire gig in Angel with Lord Science and Mr Bird. I swear, at this rate I'm NEVER gonna get around to writing about my trip to Wales ! As far as gigs go, I was WELL impressed. The support act was Will Hoge, and their appearance sorta…
OK, well that all ended up fine – got in to Dublin at about 2:30, managed to make it to where I was meant to be, and raced through a day's training in 2 hours. Go me ! More later.
Am a bit cranky tonight – missed Tai Chi because the fecking Victoria Line was shut due to “Passenger action at King's Cross”. There was nothing about it on the BBC site, so there's every chance it was just someone sick on the train or something. Still, not v. happy. Plus, at the time when…
Off to a flying start so far (excuse the shitty pun) – I've managed to miss my flight to Dublin, and am presently on standbyin Gatwick for the 1:15 flight. Interestingly, the thingabout standby is that they don'ttell you whether you're on the flight or not until 10 mins before checkin closes. As the queue…
Can't say I'm overwhelmed with confidence about our building security arrangements here… I know that in the main, the primary group inconvenienced by building security are in fact the day-to-day users of the building, however I can't help but think that the numpties in charge of this place have somewhat missed the point. In my…
Grabbed a couple of happy snaps of the view from the office yesterday… The trouble is, with the dirty window (that's the thing about summer here – it rains often enough to get splodges on the windows, but not often enough to wash the splodges off), and the generally bleak weather yesterday, it's kinda hard…
