If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I went out with Will tonight. We drank in the Bricklayers’ Arms, and then the Carpenters’ Arms to give the whole night a building site theme, but broke the flow with dum sum.
On the way home I rode a […]

I’m a digital nomad right now. Monday night, the Internet disappeared. Just like that. No notice, or anything. One minute it was fine. The next, gone.
I fiddled with every connection, blew the dust out of my plugs, spent an hour playing with the configuration screens of the modem.
When it still wasn’t working on Tuesday, I […]

It’s been so long since I’ve properly written anything on here. So, where were we? I left off in Innsbruck, after we’d been climbing up and down the mountains. It really was very beautiful, if a bit giddy-making, but eventually we had to leave, and so took the train across the border to Munich and […]

It’s such a shame I can’t download my pictures and put a couple on here while we’re away. We’ve spent a couple of days this week walking in the mountains, which has left us both practically crippled with aching legs and sore feet, but the views have been fantastic.
Today we headed to the north and […]

Our guesthouse here (run by the wonderfully named family Plank) is over 600 years old. It has fantastic creaky floorboards, and a big winding staircase that in the 24 hours we’ve been here I’ve already almost fallen down twice. The trouble is, as you’re walking down it you get distracted by all the dead wildlife […]

Well here we are in Linz, a torougly modern city straddling a river that is in the process of building a city-wide network of free Wifi hotspots.
The sun is beating down, almost blinding us through the top-floor windows of the Ars Technica museum where’re drinking tea and eating our seven thousandth portion of apple strudel […]

I don’t have time to weite much, and anyhow, this keyboard is all in the wrong order, so half of it probably won’t make much sense. However, here we are in Salzburg. It’s been scorching hot - really, truly firey, so I wish I’d brought more pairs of shorts with me.
The scoot across the vast […]

It feels strange being back in Hungary so soon after the last time. Budapest feels very familiar, and we’ve spent the night in a far more convenient location than the last time around. Back then, we were in an old Communist-built block used to house party officials. Now we’re just behind the opera, right […]

It feels like a long time since I last posted something on here. In reality, it’s only four days, but it’s been quite a week.
As is customary on the last one before you head off for a while, I had to get ahead of the work that would need doing while I was gone, to […]
