Here is a pic of Trevor and Violet just after their wedding on Saturday. It was a wonderful day and their hospitality was terrific. I had a great time and also learnt that Elizabeth, my ex-wife, also got married to someone she met before meeting me over thirty years ago so congratulations to Elizabeth and [...]

Everybody seems to be requesting Pownce invites so I climbed onboard and requested one too. It took less than a day to get one but now you can get your own invite as I have six on offer. Just leave a comment with your email and I’ll send it to you.
Be nice and add me [...]

Isn’t it a little paradoxical that my last post was about an absent friend when I was being a little absent myself?
It’s a little cyclical with me. I’ve been blogging for over three years and it’s become an online presence that I won’t give up. I’ve never really found my own style though and have [...]

As you know, or if you didn’t, I was born in Chippenham, Wilts in the UK. Last year I came across a great blog published by someone who lives there and she does a great job of taking photos and talking about life in Chippenham and in general.

Two relatively trivial events stick in my mind this morning, probably as some form of relief from yesterdays post.
Firstly I use Pandora when I can’t decide what music to play or when I am looking for something new. It’s a great service and in it’s simplest form you give it the name of an artist [...]

It’s been a very busy week. TGIF!
Professionally the move means me splitting my time between two offices and some overtime to compensate. All my professional activities are in flux and I will have to adhere to new objectives.
I have been asked to step up as National IT Director of an Association that I am [...]

I’ve not had a lot of commenting activity lately. I only have myself to blame of course becasue I wasn’t really very active last year and when you lose momentum it affects the whole blog.
So when I was checking my logs this morning (and I promise to do this more regularly) I noticed two comments [...]
