Creativity, curiosity, and code
So…now it’s dry I’ve been able to have a few days commuting on the Felt (which Sally has suggested be called “Fuzzy”…Fuzzy Felt…geddit?). What’s it like? Well. IT’S AWESOME. It’s so comfortable that it seems to be helping my bad back get better. It’s so light. It’s so quick. Actually, it doesn’t seem to have […]
On the New Bike – Off the New Bike – Lessons in Wallpapering Today was supposed to be really exciting – it turned out to be quite depressing. Mostly. It did in fact end on a high – but we’ll have to talk about a few lows before then. I’ve been very excited about the […]
Last year was a very difficult year for me, health-wise. Read elsewhere if you don’t know why. I know that sometimes I’ve overreacted, I know that there are plenty of people with much worse things wrong with them. But I’ve had more than my fair share of annoying, niggling, painful, exhausting, frustrating things that have […]
Last week was a bit of a write off week, but I’ve just about learned the chords to “Angels” including the odd F#m. I’ve also done a bit of rehearsing Song 1 to bed it into my brain a bit. This week Sally has challenged me to learn “Nothing Ever Happens” by Del Amitri. I’m […]
In amongst all the mess of bad backs, leaks, rats, and so on, something very exciting has happened. My cyclescheme voucher has arrived!! I pick up the Felt Z90 on Saturday. Yipeee!!!!!
We recently discovered (amongst lots of other things going wrong all around us) a small leak a the point that our washing maching inlet hose connects to the water pipe. This was a problem when we first moved in and we initially fixed it by buying a new hose and doing it up really tight. […]
Last week was fun AND challenging, songwise. I picked a tricky one to start but it’s mostly nailed. The trick will be remembering it in a week or so’s time. This week’s been a bit of a nightmare with busy evenings, rats, water leaks, a trip to Leeds for work, the wedding at the weekend, […]
A mixed weekend. Mostly joyful with the marriage of two good friends in London and good time spent with our old London church family. On Saturday I woke up feeling very tired and like I was fighting something off. I didn’t think I’d make it through the wedding ceremony, but did , and was then […]
So, we thought we had mice in our loft but, after further inspection, a little web research, and discussions with other people about the size of droppings, we’ve decided we have rats. Booooo! They seem confined to the loft above our extension and the wall cavities. After calling the council and hearing that it would […]
Haven’t done a training ride for a while but went out in glorious sunshine today and did Cricklade and back (16.5 miles) in a fraction over an hour. Not bad going. Must get out and train more often – I loved it! 🙂 Oh yeah, it was a bit of a test of some new […]
