Whooooa boy oh boy oh boy – what a way to go, eh ? In order to get rid of my fairly extensive collection of Scotch, I decided to get a few people who have a deep & moving love for the stuff around to my place, as well as a few choice nibbles, and…
Just a short note this time – on Sunday I swapped the numberplates on my car over ready to sell it to Mike. Weird feeling. Sort of “end of an era” type stuff. I guess some of the strangeness came from the fact I've never sold a car before. The Datsun died a horrific death…
Oh wondrous day, the moving finally took place! Well, that is to say, the bulk of it got done volume-wise. Now all that remains is the other 10% of my stuff, which of course is the bit that takes 90% of the time to actually shift. But let's not get too downhearted ! For what's…
This 'not moving' thing is getting a bit tired. Mind you, if I hadn't completely wiped myself out on whiskey then some more stuff MAY have gotten done. This was my third attempt at moving my stuff back over to Mum & Dad's, and godammit I got pretty close this time, but it wasn't meant…
How exciting! The whisper of spring must have just made it into the fishtank at home (albeit somewhat late), because Mike was excited to point out last night – he's gonna be a daddy! Well, after a fashion, anyway. It appears that 2 of the Angelfish have got the horn and dumped a load of…
It has recently been drawn to my attention that some CD's are better than others for waking one up in the morning. The other week I was fine, because I had the soundtrack from “Brazil” in my CD player, and that kicks off with a great trumpet fanfare. I swapped it over after a short…
On Saturday I took some stuff over to my parents' place to commence The Move (which didn't get very far at all really), and discovered a fairly radical change in arrangements in that neck of the woods. I knew that the house next door had been sold, but I didn't realise it had been demolished….
The thing about “moving house” is that the first word in the phrase is a verb, implying action. The chief difference between that, and the task I performed on the weekend (or more correctly, FAILED to perform) was to take part in any action. It came as quite a shock to somebody as practised at…
I've finally finished tooling around with my email subscription system for this site ! I'll try to find a better place to link this in, but for now, if you want to receive my webpage updates by email instead of having to remember to visit every day, then you can opt to do so by…
Much as I hate to make sweeping and authoritative statements like the above, in this case it holds true. I have had the best piece of steak I think I'm ever likely to have. I had parked my car outside Vlado's Charcoal Grill on a prior trip to Richmond, and had mistaken it for some…
