parrots- I'm in Mexico
I'm in Mexico. The Aqua in Cancun to be specific. It's quite an incredible hotel. It's huge. We're in a very nice suite indeed (The 'Aqua' suite). Splendid open terrace looking out over the 8 pools and the sea (which is…
- I'm in Miami
I'm in America. At the Wyndham hotel near Miami airport to be specific (which I have to say is very nice, especially as I blagged a huge staff discount). First time I've been to the States. It feels so familiar yet…
- Ten words
Those of you (like me) who flit between web pages, snatching a few words from each - this review site may be up your street. It's a review site where visitors add content. Nothing groundbreaking there, but the rules are…

Funny old day yesterday. The fish tank fell down in the bathroom. For years the trusty shelf that I made held fast. We had a professional job done on getting a nice shelf put up for my biorb tank, which unfortunately…
- India books
I seem to have developed a liking for books set (wholly, or in part) in India. Perhaps it's the incredible diversity of the place where it's culture, it's people and religions saturate and permeate each other like no…

You Got Nothing Coming, Notes from a prison fish Jimmy Lerner played down in one short paragraph within "You Got Nothing Coming - Notes From a Prison Fish" a reference that he use to work in the opposite cube to the…
Hunters stonesWe went hunting for this geocache this afternoon. This is on of 'the originals' in the area. As you can see by the arial photograph, it's in the middle of nowhere. In the midst of Norwood Forest to be exact. It was…
- Dublin
We've popped over to Dublin for a few days. Quite nice to have a break from the norm for a few days. Had a (mainly) ace weekend. After a night out on Friday I made amends for things on Saturday night by cooking a superb…
ShantaramShantaram by, by Gregory David Roberts Finished reading this fantastic book last night. It’s a truly epic saga, a doorstop of a book that I've been draggin round with me for the last month or so – nearly a thousand…

Serendipity? Coincidence? Fluke?Regular readers may remember me blogging about a Geocoin that Eirene gave me as a prezzy back in September . In brief, a geocoin is a coin that has a unique code. The coin is hidden in geocaches (hidden treasure troves…
- detox
This detox thing is going well. I decided to not drink or smoke or do anything stronger than caffeine for a month. Doing it more as a experiment of will power rather than for any particular health reasons. I've been…
