  • Distracted

    Apologies for the general lack of content at the moment. As I am sure you can understand, I’m a bit submerged at the moment, not only with sorting out property sales, but also with regular work and social events. I’m off to Ireland later this week for a flying visit, and we also have an appointment with the vicar.
    But added to the list of things that I need to write about are

    • Neil and Emma’s wedding
    • Charlie and Pete’s barbeque
    • property sale update

    Hels is not very well, a combination of virus, stress and overdoing it. Like me, she has a busy week ahead – somehow we have to fight through it.

  • Graphic

    There’s another new header. Click refresh until you see it.

  • More things that I might get around to writing about

    How meta is this?

    • house hunting
    • to do lists
    • synchronised swimming
    • yams

    Note: I may not actually write about all of these things.

  • Quiet

    Apologies for the continuing quiet here. I haven’t forgotten that list of things that I said I’d write about, and can now add the following:

    • the house martins (not capitalized)
    • going to church
    • Fahrenheit 9/11
    • John Lewis at Bluewater

  • Minibreak

    Apologies for the long and unplanned outage yesterday. Holly, the server that hosts grayblog (and grayblog mail) at 34sp went "pop", but has now been repaired. Things should be as close to normal here as they ever get.

  • Dutch headers

    Three new headers from photos taken in the Netherlands – hit F5 enough and you’ll see them.

    • Boomkewkerijmuseum
    • Dijk
    • Horizon

  • Zombie

    I am home. Well, actually, I’m in the office. I have more work than you could believe.
    At some point, I will write on the following subjects:

    • flat sales and house purchases
    • driving in the Netherlands
    • plant factories
    • Charlie and Pete’s wedding
    • other miscellaneous subjects

    In the meantime, please amuse yourself in whatever manner you feel is appropriate.

  • Lots of links

    This site includes 17783 links, internal and external. That’s an awful lot of links. Of these, about 450 are broken, mostly links to sites that have now ceased to be.
    How do I know this? I used Xenu’s Link Sleuth. Be warned though – to scan all the links on my site took the Sleuth a couple of hours.

  • Mini-hiatus

    Sorry for being quiet – mostly due to work pressure, but also because I stepped out of life for a few hours yesterday to spend some time with H.
    Normal service will be resumed shortly.
    Visitor number 150,000 passed this way at 11.45pm yesterday, having arrived here by searching yahoo.com for "47kg propane". Hmm.

  • Braindump

    No time:

    • Up at 5.30am today, home at 10.30pm. H off to US for conference for over a week. West Dean at the weekend. Oxford today. Mad. Hectic. Too much to do, too little time. Gah.
    • UKIP. Gah. Consider this – next election, Tories biggest party, but not sufficient for a majority, so form an alliance with UKIP. Fate worse than death.
    • LA Fisheries – best chippy for miles
    • Mmmmmm beer
    • Visitor number 150,000 should call in sometime next Tuesday – watch the counter.
