First train up to Paddington gets me into London for 8:30. Headed for Whitechapel with the intention of walking back west via a large S-shaped path taking in bits of the City, St.Pancras, The Fleet Valley, some small churches, and a handful of booksellers. Achieved the walk back to the station with many diversions and much happiness in about six hours. After the relative calm of the City on a weekend, the West End was incredibly packed, annoying and sickening. Plans for the infamous Clerkenwalk develop further as a result of today's wanderings. Got to ride home on one of First Great Western's whizzy new Class 180s - reasonably comfortable and quiet for a DMU! Later, fixed a little buglet in Lemmingchat and released 0.0.5.

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.
