Sally has been away this week at a residential camp for young people from all over the country involved in climate change projects. I don’t explain it very well so check out http://www.youmeandtheclimate.org/ for a better explanation. I popped down for the weekend to help out, see what was going on, and, yes, to spend […]
The Ten Commandments of Telephone Conference Calls I am the chairman, who booked the line and invited you to the call. Thou shalt have no other means of conducting spoken business with more than two people in more than one place, for thou workest in a cost-cutting environment. Thou shalt not book other meetings and […]
I rode to Cholsey today. I last did the 35 mile trip on my bike just over a year ago. It was the same time of year, probably the same kind of weather. But last year my health wasn’t great. I had a heavy, clunky, cheap bike. Since then I’ve acquired Fuzzy (or possibly, Fuzzy […]

Yes, I spend hundreds on little devices that fit in the palm of my hand. So […]
Another, fairly dull, cycling-related post I’m afraid. More on the garden, slugs, harvesting, music and other stuff to come when I have some time. If that’s not a tempting proposition that’ll make you bookmark my blog then I don’t know what will. Hey, I lead an exciting life!!! 😉 It’s been pretty wet lately. And […]
Sorry – this is quite dull and is really just a note-to-self on fitness progress. The cycling has been going really well of late and I put in a record 254 miles in July. I’m not injured and I’m feeling strong and fit, which is great! August, though, for various, non-cycling-related reasons has prompted lots […]
