If you’re wondering what I’m

If you’re wondering what I’m looking at on the web today, you can find it here. Just six points needed and we already have two of them.
Meanwhile, Brighton won last night, though not convincingly.

Busy busy busy, but enjoying

Busy busy busy, but enjoying the luxury of being able to hold business meetings outside in the glorious warm sunshine. Indian summer – don’t you love it?
I’ve also just realised how far it is from Birmingham to Caernarfon.

A successful talk in Rustington

A successful talk in Rustington tonight, followed by beer, in a blogging birthday kinda way, with Paul F, Ian, Sacha, Lord Percy and Lady Bren, spectating on the karaoke in Chicago Rocks.
Now home, listening to tonight’s excellent Peel show on Radio 1.

Votes have been coming in

Votes have been coming in thick and fast on the grayblog header poll. "Railings" is ahead by some margin, although I suspect some ballot stuffing by Lord Percy, with "Warning" leading the peloton. "Palm House Door" is currently in line for the wooden spoon, which is a sorry state of affairs.
Voting open until Friday, 5pm. Get voting!

Three years ago today, I

Three years ago today, I wrote:

what am I doing with a blog?
dunno really. I used to keep a diary long ago, but it got to be a bit of a pain, all that writing and pens and stuff. So this is kinda going to be a diary, plus a forum for me to vent my spleen every now and then and ramble on aimlessly about whatever might be troubling me.

or something like that…..

I think it is still something like that. Near enough.

Happy third birthday, Grayblog.

A long but very good

A long but very good day in the company of my cousin, Gemma. Food was eaten, alcohol imbibed, shops toured and art appraised. Pooped now, but I made my train ok. Full report tomorrow.

Today, I shall be in

Today, I shall be in London with Gemma, my cousin, viewing art, spending money and getting drunk and fat. Which is a good plan.
And I’ve just booked my flights for David’s wedding – at reduced price too. Bargain! Plus I get a gazillion AAdvantage points for flying via St Louis on the outward journey and via Dallas/Ft Worth on the return, and save another £65. Yay!
