Woke to driving rain. Wandered to Swansea station, getting very wet. Asked by newspaper vendor "Is it raining?" - declined detailed answer in case it was impolite, and simply pointed to dripping head instead. Fast and on-time journey back through a very damp and overcast South Wales. Got drenched again at Bristol Parkway, where the new building and facilities are much improved but the platform shelters are still based on the stands for a non-league football club. Fancy footwork gets me back to Weston by 14:00. Straight to shops before they close. Tired but really pleased I took the opportunity of this surprise trip. Updated to RedHat 8.0 with newly acquired CDs - very quick and painless.

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.
