If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Poor Jess. I can’t believe it’s six months since our last trip to the vet, but this morning that day rolled around again. She worked out that something was up, of course, and spent the morning beneath a chair […]

Ooh, how exciting. Not only a new, simpler design, but also new software running the back end.
Greymatter has served me well for a couple of years now, but it was time to move on to something more powerful so that the site could be more flexible and dynamic in the future. I wanted to do […]

I have been at PCW for five years. Five years and two days if we’re going to be pedantic, but as the actual anniversary was bank holiday Monday and office was busy yesterday we marked the occasion today with lunch at Masala Zone.
As Clive and myself are the only two to have worked on the […]

No sooner have you been celebrating the start of the bank holiday weekend with a Friday night drink in the John Snow than you’re back at your desk on a Tuesday morning wondering where the last three days went.
Bah!
Even worse, it seems that while us Brits were enjoying a sneaky day of holiday that doesn’t […]

Another strange early-waking situation saw me out of bed and replying to emails by nine. I was very tempted to use two planned trips out today as an excuse for not going to the gym, but my conscience got the better of me, and I put in an hour on the running machine and cross […]

So, yesterday, in a nutshell, was shopping, then dinner with Paul’s parents, before racing home to catch the start of Stargate, a film I’d always fancied, but never seen.
Unfortunately it turned out to be formulaic American rubbish… Brave American soldiers travel to far off, dangerous land and free the whole population from the clutches of […]

What a long, long day. It felt as though it was never going to end. I looked at my watch at 11.15 and it felt like three in the afternoon. A stark contrast to yesterday, which passed before my eyes in a blur.
Toppest news of the week, though, came mid-morning, when it was already starting […]

It’s a cliche, but I don’t know where today has gone. The breakfast show slot went very well, and even after doing that, and the washing up before leaving the house I was still in London early enough to take the bus rather than the tube into the centre of town.
I wandered slowly towards the […]

Listening to News Direct on the way home, a story about British attitudes to the euro came up. Barclays has conducted a survey to see how the country would vote if there was a referendum on the single currency.
49% of us, apparently, would vote no. It’s encouraging that the dissenting masses are now in the […]

Sometimes everything just clicks. When it does you know you’re part of a wonderful team.
I gymmed before work. I still miss Oscar not waking me up in the mornings, and I still can’t work out the timer on my light so it doesn’t come on when the alarm goes off, but nonetheless I was out […]
