Woke with that 'wrong side of the bed feeling'. Letter from the Corporate Services Dept. to say they would deduct money for the strike next month. Hopefully, this will coincide with the new pay deal arriving, so it won't be so completely painful. Spent a long time enjoying the speed of DSL and listening to the radio, before heading out for wanderings. Looks like DVD player will be delayed, which is annoying because it would be nice to watch a movie on a no-good TV day like today. Met visiting friends in town, wandered around the shops, despite increasing anger and peevishness with others who seem to thing 'holiday' means a time when looking in front of oneself is not necessary! Pleasant and amusing time however. Also had a rare Orledge sighting! Got drunk. Built Abiword to use GTK+2.0 - wonderful! Feel like I should maybe visit Burnham again soon, but why? Decided a spell of hermitting might help.

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.
