Arrived back late last evening by expensive airport taxi. Pretty impressed with flights considering how cheap they were. A strange few days. Forgot how much I missed Glasgow when I leave. Painful foot makes two out of three days a little annoying, but still managed to wander quite a bit and drink too much. Arrived early on Tuesday and was in my favourite coffee spot by 9:15. Revisited old haunts eastwards, before heading back to Charing Cross to check in. Later, off to the 13th Note for music and beer. Wednesday saw an early start heading west. Lots more wandering, coffee and musing. Bus journey back interrupted by anti-war protest and angry FirstGroup employees! Disappointing curry at the oddly named "New Colonial India". More beer. Thursday was odd. Some wandering beyond my usual range. A bit confused and bothered by weird feelings about the place. Watched sunset and office workers in George Square before heading for Paisley and the airport. Lots of pointless photographs here.

A busy week - zipping up and down to Bristol in reasonably fine weather has been nice. Actually working on something productive has been even better. On Wednesday I attended a special one-off revival of the Brit Quiz in memoriam of Martin, our quiz master who sadly died recently after a long illness. We raised a tidy sum for Weston Hospicecare, and failed to shine - just to ensure tradition was followed. Attempted to solve problems with a friends PC and AOL this morning. A blast from the past to say the least. I think I got things working, but its hard to say. More activity on gtkdial based on a feature request.

Pretty busy day. Searched for the cat, who now appears to be very much missing in action. Went to Newport, had breakfast, wandered around bookshop and shoe-modification-accessory emporia. Monster headache, compounded by cat situation. Set Evolution building after some minor updating via RedCarpet. Brit Quiz - I.P.Knightley again win, and donate the wine - this being a benefit night for Balancing Energy!

Spent the whole of last night watching North Somerset Council - or to be specific, the controlling Tory group throw away our excellent Local Authority Elderly Persons Homes forever. The debate was frankly undemocratic. Too disgusted to write more. You can read more about it here.

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.
