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 […]

I got a chain cleaning box for Christmas (thanks Sarah and Guy!) and I’ve invested in some proper bike cleaning brushes so gave the cheap hybird a good clean over (with the help of Cycling Plus’ Winter Cycling Guide recommendations!), and replaced the front brake pads before heading back to work tomorrow. A job well […]
