Looking forward with some trepidation to a week which will be at the outside, interesting. ADSL modem arrives. Set it up and tried as far as possible to set things up in preparation for the service becoming available. Sort of terrified that I'll mess it up completely of course. Blazing sunshine. Took advantage of a walk, and became involved in some guerilla interior design work. Later, out into the wilds to some country pubs. Perhaps I'm getting old, but I'm so much happier in these wayside inns than anywhere in town nowadays. Learned how to play a dice game called "Shut the Box". A really pleasant evening.
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
