My mate Henry is running the Great North Run next Sunday – 13 miles. He’s looking for sponsorship – he’s got one of those easy to donate ‘justgiving’ sites (secure etc.) and he’s running in aid of Leonard Cheshire Disability – a very worthwhile and focussed charity. Even if it’s just a tad – stick your hand in your virtual… Read more →
My birthday was last Thursday. What a fabulous time I’ve had since then. The actual morning of my birthday involved a lovely breakfast in bed courtesy of Felix, Jaygo & Eirene followed by prezzies in bed! A tea pot (I’ve got into green tea recently you see), a bottle of VERY nice vintage malt whisky called coopers choice and a… Read more →
I’ve hid a new geocache today. Near the small town of Earby, where I work. I’ve called it Here be Earby. It’s only just been published / not found yet. There’s alsorts in it including a Moleskine notebook and a bit of historical referential significance to this legendary notebook, and a disposable camera with the instruction “take a shot and… Read more →
We went en masse to our friends cottage for a Birthday bash. This turned into a lovely rosy glow of an evening with great home grown food, sloshes of wine and beer and a furtle of guitar strummage. Saturday morning allowed us the luxury of a mildly hung-over extended horizontal chill followed by a bimble into town with two old… Read more →
Someone just emailed me this: “If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95, with HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50, £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5, but if you bought £1000 worth of Tennant’s Lager one year ago, drank… Read more →
Hooked my Wii up to the internet last night. It’s quite good – weather channel, news channel and some strange global voting thing. This, however, stole the show; (the middle one…) Truncated content has never been so accurate.
Work’s been interesting this week. Things are starting to change. The winds of change are filling my sail and seem to be pushing my ship in the right direction. Seems quite like that in a few areas at the moment. A general positive feeling. Big thoughts and love going out to Eirene’s dad who’s having a stay at Dublin hospital…. Read more →
It rained for about 20 hours non stop yesterday. Went to a wedding at The Crown Hotel last night. Twas nice – was knackered so didn’t do much in the way of fun and frolicks but had a lovely time none the less. I HID my first geocache yesterday. Farly close to home so I can maintain it. I’ve called… Read more →
Since I started geocache hunting a few weeks ago, the amount of interest people show towards the sport is brilliant. The most unlikely people are fascinated by it and want to give it a go. People often comment on things I’m up to – due to this blog – but geocache hunting seems has got you, dear readers, quite interested…. Read more →
Did indeed go camping – lovely site, glorious weather in Saturday over near Scarborough. Went to the Sea Life centre yesterday – top place. Sharks, sea horses, turtles etc. Did the gig last night – sort of.. It was good if not a bit confusing from an organisational perspective! At work now, it’s sunny outside. Wish I could be out… Read more →
