Nothing the whole day through

Sunday, March 5th, 2006

I sorted out a cupboard I’d been meaning to tidy up. Got an entire bin bag of rubbish to put out from it. I’ve ironed most of my shirts (most of which hadn’t been ironed for a long time). A thoroughly domestic day of avoiding writing or preping the web site. I did manage to […]

Busy Doing Nothing

Sunday, March 5th, 2006

Amazing what a good ten hours sleep can do for the soul. Then life catches up and all those little chores need sorting out. Then its nearly midnight, nearly another day gone and nothing has really gone anywhere. Still tomorrow’s Sunday which is my writing day. With a good run at it I may get […]

I really should be sleeping…

Friday, March 3rd, 2006

I’m so tired I just used Kim’s blog’s title “I really should be writing…” as the title for a really innane post. I think I’ll go to bed instead and save the world from that.

Random Thoughts

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Can it be a coincidence that “Quantum Leap” and “Life on Mars” both have lead characters called Sam? That both of them appear to be able to travel in time but only in their own lifetimes? Do they both have something they need to put right so they can get home? Maybe it’s a coincidence. […]

I must have been writing too many technical specs this week. Someone tells me the hamster that powers their web site’s dynamic front page has been fired and their thinking of hiring an elephant instead. They meant it as an offhand joke and I find myself contemplating the difficulties involve with my engineering hat (issued […]

Staring at Blank Page

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

This seemed like such a good idea after a few drinks last night… Now I need to work out why I need to blog… Starting with a blank page can be so daunting sometimes.
