A beautifully bright winters day. Spent the morning preparing, learning exciting ways to tie a tie knot, and playing with zenity - the gdialog replacement. Visit around lunchtime, with a surprise gift of very good single malt. Later, arrived in time to meet people prior to procession to service. A very sad, but somehow quite uplifting service with the massed ranks of the Royal British Legion Women's Section in attendance. Off to The Cliffs tearoom for a quiet tea overlooking amazing sunset views. Rallied somewhat later, and managed a pleasant chat over dinner at the Bengal Raj - relieved today went as well as it did.

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.
