Moving day. It's been a long time coming, and I must confess that I've seen nothing but barriers this past week. Worked this morning - beginning of aftermath of Secondary Bulk Allocation. Mostly OK. Left at lunchtime, ate and paced around. Marshalled help, and after a slight delay everything was ready. A couple of trips got the bulk of things moved. Then it was a case of trying to restore order to the place, tidy up and make space for a delivery from Burnham. Sometime around 10pm I settled down, realising that things were pretty much sorted out. A monumental achievement which could not have been achieved without family and a couple of dedicated friends. Sleepy, aching and happy.
More packing, more panic - and to cap it all monitor appears to have died. Replaced with aging 15" Dell - trusty if small and hard to read. Dreading slipping off net. Boring day spent wondering what to do next, and where to find space to do things.
Heard that my application to rent had been approved. Much relief - for about 30 seconds before total panic sets in. Began packing in earnest. Work insanely busy with Secondary School Allocations. Learning lots, but feel I'm not proving my worth.
Burns Night Supper at the decidedly un-Scottish venue of Banwell Village Hall. Food excellent, piper pretty good and a generally pleasant evening. Later, there was country dancing - left soon after that began.

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.
