Hello, good evening and... welcome

If you want to talk about science, you want Stoat, now at mustelid.blogspot.comAt all events... if you're planning to visit often, why not introduce yourself in the comment field on this post.

Book review: City of Illusions
Summary: post-apocalyptic, quest, mystery. Elegiac, a quality I greatly value. Its not up with The Deep; but nothing is ( Read more... ) -
Goodness: where from?
Paul introduced me to the Euthyphro dilemma: if you're a theist, a Christian say, then you believe that certain things are good. But are they good intrinsically - and therefore approved of by God, the Church, and all Right Thinking Persons - or are they approved of by God and therefore good, and so approved by the Church ( Read more... ) -
Rainy tuesday night on the river
I re-arranged my life to allow me to row on a tuesday night, and then regretted it because it was raining. And not especially gently either. For added excitement it was the first time that Dave R, coxing, had taken an eight out in darkness. He only hit the bank once, and that not with the shell only my blade, which is fairly good going.

Rowing and Running: Parkrun and Outing
This is the first of the posts that I *would* have posted to the "other" blog in the old days, but am now posting here to clear clutter from stoat. But since it is here, I'll warble at more length in a semi-diary type fashion. Prepare for narcissism.

A trip to the Stubai
A travelogue of our trip to the Stubai in August 2009, informed by a previous trip, and in particular to the Franz Senn and Sulzenau huts. I vaguely intend to keep re-working this entry (and some subsequent ones) to make it actually useful to others. You'll know when I'm done because I'll remove this bit.
