Edinburgh (being the second part of our holiday)

Edinburgh is nice. "Our kind of city" the wife wrote on her postcards, and I agree. We got a speedy train there from Carlisle into Edinburgh Haymarket, this was the side of the city we were staying on. We could have been a bit closer to the action bu...

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Interesting pop chart changes afoot, now downloads are eligible for the chart even if there is no corresponding CD single available. As this is a relatively new technology, changes are happening all the time I'm sure, but this is quite a meaty one. W...

Lone Star Comedy mini review

Went to the Lone Star Comedy night at Lanterns, and it was ALRIGHT! Wasn't quite the show that was advertised, but as an added bonus we got in at a discount, so it all pans out. This was a civil service special, worked out a fiver each on booking a t...

Sorry to leave such a gap

Been away for the weekend, not running and hiding in fear, we went to a fabulous wedding up in Oxford. Got The Oxford Tube there late on Friday as we were already booked onto it, and it was alright. Comfortable enough and only 15 quid for an open ret...

Folkestone mushroom magic

A very satisfying and self sufficient weekend, off to a secret woodland location to hunt for wild mushrooms. I was expecting a nice walk, an empty basket, and a pub lunch, but no! In about four hours of tramping we managed to bag a brace of chanterel...

Another day, another mouse

Found another mouse in our kitchen, alive again. This one looked a lot healthier, lessly wobbly and confused, but he still didn't make any effort to run away. Just look at this cute little feller. I put him out in the street and he scurried away, pro...
