The Hutton Enquiry website is gripping. I’ve lost several hours looking over emails and letters that would normally not get into the public domain. There’s been talk of how this offers an insight into the world of the BBC and the Government, and it really does. On one level the documents show how these organisations [...]
Things I do when I’m unemployed: 1. Spend ages checking my email and extensively trawling through any online messageboard I might be remotely connected with. 2. Stare at my phone, hoping it’ll ring. For hours on end. Carry it round the house with me all day in case it rings and I don’t hear it. [...]
Well, someone’s noticed the value of blog links and has found a way to abuse them. Check out this old blog entry of mine and see the two lovely comments about ‘what a nice blog’ I have. And then the links through to a couple of sites that might want to go up the google [...]
We’ve just got back from Biarritz, and we’re utterly shattered (got back after two this morning due to a series of delays). We had a great time, and some parts of my body are now not completely white – Sarah actually has a tan! Too shattered to make a whole sentence, but some pics are [...]
We’re on holida in Biarritz and have found a very difficult internet system for acessing our email. All the letters on the keyborard are in the wrong place and I have returned to my youth of not being able to touch type. And making lots of mistaks very slowly. Yesterday we went surfing and we [...]
We went to Brighton Pride today and had a very nice time. For the first time, I avoided alcohol all day, and I feel the better for it. Unfortunately, I kept to the tradition of getting horribly sunburnt. I’ve got a bright red stripe around my neck that exactly follows the neckline of the t-shirt [...]
I’ve been redesigning the Jessica Kingsley Publishers website over the past few days and I’ve been using Fireworks. It’s quite a heavy application and I’ve not been able to have Fireworks and Homesite (my html editor of choice) open at the same time without my computer complaining. I had enough of this yesterday and I [...]
So, today has been spent laying our rubber flooring. I have to admit, Sarah has done almost all of this job, but I have taken some pictures. I even took a little movie of Sarah doing a ‘floor dance’ to make the floor stick down. We had a huge trauma trying to choose what sort [...]
I’ve got two weeks off work, and this is the first day. So, am I sitting by a pool? Lolling about reading with a cup of coffee? Taking in the sights? No. I’m about to go and prepare my kitchen for the adventure that is laying rubber flooring. Crazy, maybe, but at the end of [...]
