Perhaps I'm alone in this, but the day to day machinations and tribulations of Local Government Finance astound, amaze and amuse me. Maybe its because despite being at the frontline for a year, I saw less of the 'behind the scenes' intrigue than ever. In any case, I remain unsurprised, unflapped and generally its business as usual for me. Later wandered over to Sea Front festival. Nice Real Ale, interesting Jazz band. Later saw a bit of Tex Braithwaite local comedo-country act. OK, but sort of sad that you can't do it for real! Tired and a bit drunk on next to nothing. Seriously considering releasing the reams of self-indulgent e-mail I've written in the past few days as a limited edition booklet along with the forthcoming CD on Almost Halloween Time records. Walking the line here, barely.
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.
