Phew, I’m finally back in the land of the living. Where have I been? Here’s my excuses for not writing for a month… Moving House Well, the house exchange and completion went through. We got the keys to our new house on October 5th. Sally was away for the weekend and I’d been banned from […]
After the successes of mountain climbing at the weekend I’m back into cycling to work. And it feels great. Going slowly and steadily at the moment but hopefully we’ll be out on training runs again soon. Funny how this has become so important to me. I feel I have some of my identity back now […]
It’s been a good month for music. Sally and I are booked in to see Martyn Joseph and KT Tunstall in the coming months, plus, there was a new Athlete album out that I splashed out on. Thoughts below: Drastic Fantsatic – KT Tunstall The catchiest of the new albums, very easy to get into. […]

The sun was shining down and making the web glisten so I thought I’d try and catch it on, err, well not film exactly, but you know what I mean. The reason I’m a bit fanatical about spiders is that…well…they’re […]
This book was recommended as a good read on prayer but didn’t live up to expectations. Before I wrote these notes on it I did some searching and it’s hard to find a bad review of the book. And I have to say that, despite the slow start to it, the book did grow on […]
