Position = 7626 out of ~17,000?
The day didn't get off to too good a start: 6am on Sunday morning doesn't tend to happen for me, and the DST change was just an extra kick in the teeth, making it feel like 5am. Obstacle the first: the tubes aren't running at that time. Fortunately, I now live in ( Read more... ) -
Getting back into training
I guess it won't come as a surprise to those who know me that I've resolved to try and get fitter during the coming year. Which I've pretty much resolved every year for the past six or seven, with varying success. To recap, last year I managed to participate in the London Triathlon (3:16) and the Run-To-The-Beat Half-Marathon (2:08). I failed to ( Read more... ) -

Last two weeks... hmm. I went to the Calling a couple of weeks ago. The place hasn't changed very much, has it? Met various old faces while there... certain others were muttering about turning up tomorrow as well? (pix: http://www.flickr.com/photos/araqnid/sets/ ( Read more... ) -
calling?
I'm pondering venturing out to The Calling (in Cambridge) tonight because:

- Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be
- I have a car, so I can
Is there much chance of anyone I know being there? Or indeed anyone at all? ;) (I remember some of the old days...) -
home
My home is not a place, it is people
Lois McMaster BujoldAlthough there's a certain truth to that, nevertheless being back in a familiar place is a considerable relief. Arriving at Heathrow and simply being able to lug my case down to the Tube and get home under my own steam (near enough) was so familiar that it felt like bliss, even if it did take ( Read more... ) -
