I want - Posted 23:57 Friday 2 Oct 2009
to go to Spain, or Portugal or Italy for 2 weeks. No internet. Just cafes, bars and eateries. No TV, maybe a newspaper. Maybe no laptop though playing Infocom would be nice. Books.

Scrubs and a stone - Posted 02:06 Saturday 10 May 2008
P has just finished a week of SAT’s so had the time to come for a walk earlier with Winston. Chatted about a variety of things – including Scrubs – and also found great place for some pics. Some huge boulder sized stones which she sat on and I fired away. They are good but [...]
