Imagine, me receiving financial advice! Still, it was actually useful - and I'm marginally better off as a result, as well as slightly better situated to do Principia stuff. Yesterday, confirmation of Housing Benefit arrived - for the period I was off work with a broken arm (um...May-June wasn't it?). Incredulously considered the plight of those who REALLY need it for a bit, before deciding that I was probably lucky to get it anyway. Out for a while last night - felt incredibly pleased to see one of my dearest friends happier and more carefree than for a very long time. Finished "All Families are Psychotic" today - it has to become a film, its all so cinematic. In fact, trying to describe the plot to someone else I felt remarkably silly, like I was reading some trashy airport-bookstall crap where the author's name eclipses the title in the typeface stakes. However, when you least expect it, Douglas throws in one of his acute observations on the modern and absurd. Hmm....how very 90's - talking in decades again - but surely that's infinately preferable to apologising.

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.
