Frantic day, trying to fix two very difficult student-related problems which won't go away. Both seem to stem from sillyness on behalf of their University, which as the day goes on I began to think was rather cynical and sad. They will of course shout loudly when no fees appear. Off to Bristol, and out to Fishponds for the first time in a while. Arrived remarkably early considering I had to brave a 49 to get there. Lounged around taking advantage of cheap beer and watching a pub quiz fail to start before we had to leave. Wandered back to the station playing word games which keep us entertained for ages. Back to pack for trip. Exhausting and frustrating day which ends much better than it started.
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.
