I had to take my car to be seen to last night, so didn’t have it this morning. It’s got a tendency to stop working in the cold. Very irritating when you need to be somewhere on time. So, Paul picked me up this morning at seven and we went to the gym. It was [...]

John Lewis sells an extraordinary number of things I could never find a use for in life. And that’s just the kitchen department. We got up late and went to Bluewater. I have been hunting for one of those graters with a handle where you put the cheese in the top, flip down the lid [...]

After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing I decided not to go to the gym last night in favour of going this morning, so I would have felt very guilty if I’d not made it. Fortunately I did, so I have been guilt-free all day.

I can’t believe it’s 2002 already. It seems like no time at all since we were running checks on the computers that come in for review at PCW to make sure they were millennium compliant. Now that’s three years ago.
Was out of bed, showered and sipping tea before eight. At the station by 25 past [...]
