It’s been a while since the garden got much attention (though I’ll be writing about the harvest soon), but this is a little set of observations that’s been bouncing around in my head for a while. Despite, or including, the slugs and creeping cinquefoil (this is what we thought was creeping buttercup), our garden is […]
Recently someone asked if there was a good tool for dumping lots of stuff that was in their head in a GTD (Getting Things Done) manner. I use a tool called Wikidpad for this. It’s a desktop Wiki, which enabled you to write short or long notes, and link them together in a variety of […]
Sorry. I can’t help it. This is simply a gratuitous link to a piece of 1972 news footage that I’ve discovered about my beloved Magic Roundabout. Great stuff!

It was a simple couple-meet, couple-torn-apart, couple-get-back together story, wrapped up as an old man reading the story to his wife who’s suffering from dementia and amnesia. Touching and cute, […]
I’m a cyclist – you can probably tell that – and I love all sports of different kinds. But there’s one that I’ve never got on with…running! It knackers my kness and every time I try to take it up I have to give up quite quickly because I’m in pain. So instead, I tend […]
