Its been a strange and long weekend. Roughly every second Easter seems to be like this, so I suppose it could be worse. The vague threat of illness which hung in the air at the end of the week became a stupid, snivelly cold which won't leave. I'm trying hard not to let coverage of the Royal Family and their (mis)fortunes get to me, because I suppose I'd appear somewhat churlish. Mostly, I'm nervous and uncertain about my new job, and about events in my world. Practically rewrote gdaylog
this weekend, also added absurd and pointless features to the script which I use to get stats from the bandwidth logs of my Demon account, and (much to the derision of the locals) I spent quite serious amounts of time on learning Quenya. After all, I've been reading Tolkien for 19 years (eek!) and pretty much skipping the poems, so now it must surely be time? If only I wasn't so obsessive about these things...
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.
