I've been almost inconsolably miserable since the leaving party, for a number of reasons. Today was a chance to begin to sort things out a bit. Got finances into some sort of order, planned how to navigate the next rather tricky working week, and generally tried hard to console myself that a new start was a really good idea, chance to ditch baggage etc. Also took a great deal of comfort from some of the more constant aspects of life here. Strange times indeed.
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.
