Post Easter trip
Spent Wednesday and Thursday in Glasgow for work. 5.30am taxi was hardest part. Weather was better than expected (sunny with occasional light rain). Views over the lochs impressive ( Read more... ) -
Weekend in London
Went up on the train on Friday evening. The hotel was right next to the underground (I'd travelled the route on the highly useful google street view beforehand) but when we got there we found out that there were engineering works and that it would be closed all weekend. Next nearest station was a 15 minute walk away. Had a lovely meal in the ( Read more... ) -

More snow
Yesterday the site was officially closed. Today it was open. Strange given that the pavements were still rock solidly iced up. But I walked in anyway and fell over once. The roads are looking better apart from the road outside our house. To drive or not to drive?
The weather forecast is not good for early next week either. -

Snow and car mayhem
Eep. There was an accident on Eastern Road (one of the two routes off Portsea Island) at 15.50 and it didn't clear for an hour. Add snow. Result: car chaos. Took an age to get from works car park to the end of the road. Usual route home backed up to hell. Took the just unblocked road. Motorway looked like it was very slow moving too so I took ( Read more... ) -
Hello, my name is Chris and I play UT3
Yikes. Steam stats say I've spent 24.5 hours in the past 2 weeks playing UT3. And 327.6 hours overall. That's almost 2 weeks solid. Can't stop yet; still some achievements to get. :)
