Hollow Planet

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Earth: Boy Installment One The boy sat at the table in the kitchen eating cereal, his mother’s laptop open on the table before him, NASA’s website opened to a page about space travel. His mother found him like that. The sun was barely risen and the chill of night still blanketed the world and the [...]

Sponsorship

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

There are a few people who read this website but aren’t on Facebook, so if you’re one of those people, I have set up a donations page for Water Aid, so sponsor me for the Bristol Half Marathon! Go Donate!

A Hurdy Gurdy Pherty Meken

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

The Swedish chef says now that the website is back I can put up our pics from Uppsala and Stockholm! Here they are… There are some great pictures of Clem in here, so be warned, you will encounter extraordinary cuteness right from the start!

We’re Baaaaack… I think

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

A few months ago my website up and died. I don’t know what the problem was, but any entry that had HTML tags in it (most of them) wouldn’t display. So I’ve arduously upgraded WordPress and the requisite database and I think we’re flying again now. Hopefully I can ditch all the spam now, too, [...]

You’ve Won… A NEW CAR!!! … sort of

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

From my father… “Beware Toyota. We bought a new Venza from them, drove it 600 miles and the first time it rained the engine sucked water in through the air intake and blew up. Toyota would not stand behind their product and our insurance is paying for a replacement block. “So instead of a new [...]

The Return

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

We returned from Becky’s conference in Sweden yesterday where she was delivering a paper. It was a beautiful country and Stockholm is an incredible city. I’ve got lots of pictures and will put them up when I get them sorted. But what an expensive place. Highlights include two sandwiches, four bananas, a bag of potato [...]

Bioequilibrium

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

We had some deliciously warm weather in early to mid April, but the cold snapped back and since then it’s been pretty chilly most of the time. An unexpected and happy result of lingering cold weather — as long as it’s not too cold — is that all the common plants around here seem to [...]

Gordon’s Gone

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Becky suggested we should change the dog’s name to “Dave” but I don’t think we could stand it. I’m disappointed that people were too scared and weak to vote Lib Dem in greater numbers and that so many people turned on Labour unnecessarily. It also irritates me that people took against Gordon Brown so much. [...]

Down South 13

He undressed mostly and lay in the bed in his boxer shorts. The TV was off now and the bedside lamp was on and he was staring at the ceiling. She won’t be back for a while yet, he thought. He thought of Frances Talbot rising from the pool. No. He lay still for a [...]

Damn Brits

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Spilling oil in my Gulf right before I go back there. BP, you dastardly white devils! I love the new plan to fix it… Go to CNN report about huge box dropping. Dropping a huge metal box on the pipe! That’s awesome. I can see the engineers busily calculating just how fucking huge the box [...]

More Kubrick

Friday, April 30th, 2010

For some reason I had never seen Eyes Wide Shut, so I put it on our Lovefilm list and it arrived yesterday — on BluRay — a big plus for the work of a master filmmaker. People seem divided on the film, but I liked it a lot. First off, I don’t really know what [...]

Down South 12

In the hotel he sat at the foot of the bed watching the twenty-four hour news anchors repeating the same story for the twentieth time, though he had never heard it. A woman had turned up somehow, having been imprisoned by a man and his wife for almost twenty years. She had been kidnapped in [...]
