Well now that I’m back I should probably try and get this ridiculous challenge over and done with, or at least moan about it a bit more. At this point it is only sheer stubbornness that is driving me forward. I can’ imagine that if I let it wither and die unfinished that there would [...]
As I find myself becoming more and more entrenched in this modern digital world where everyone has some kind of shiny screen in front of their face for the entirety of their waking existences, and a headphone lead trailing from each ear, it is inevitable that when even the slightest part of it fails I [...]
To be honest I don’t have a lot to add to the picture, today has been excellent, despite the four hour round trip to get to the scan in the first place, for us this baby today stops being some abstract idea and becomes something real, a little life getting ready to come out. At [...]
My musical playlists over the past few weeks have tended more towards the 90’s, also known as the decade that music became my whole world. To me, anyway, you might know it by another name. It’s been lovely hearing some old albums that I haven’t heard in what seems like an age, I even forced [...]

In order to keep up the staggering levels of productivity that have suddenly seized me over the last, well, two days, I just this morning remembered that as I was on the train to Devon I got an email from my fine buddy Will, which contained a review he had done for the new FIFA [...]
As is customary with NaNoWriMo now that we are reaching the final week before we start, all of the good ideas and plotlines I have been building up in my head for the last month and a half since I decided to run with it are all starting to feel all hollow and empty and [...]
