According to Facebook, as of last night, I am “in a relationship” with Lorna. It is therefore 100% official. No turning back now (not, I hasten to add, that I have any wish to turn back). All is currently rather marvellous. I met her parents yesterday, though only briefly, and they [...]

(a) Of course it was a date. Who was I kidding? (b) More than friends. :-) (c) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

… I have the day off work, and I shall be seeing L again. We’re going to see what’s in the London Aquarium, then spend a leisurely afternoon wandering where the mood takes us; there’s a free jazz concert at the South Bank Centre we might visit, and finally in the evening L will [...]

Subtitle: “So what counts as dating, anyway?” I wasn’t sure whether to blog about this, but have decided it would be interesting to see if anyone has any thoughts on it. I’m not normally one for making these things very public, and it’s even possible (though, I think, unlikely) that the person in question might [...]

Sadly, it hasn’t settled here. Not that it feels like Easter, particularly. I guess that’s a side effect of not going to church! Anyway, it’s also very cold, and I’ve had to put two pairs of socks on because this isn’t a very warm flat! Uncarpeted floorboards and many large, single-glazed [...]

Bloxorz Very nice little puzzle game.

It’s been yonks since I last blogged. Mainly because I forget; partly because extra typing => hands burn. I went to a wedding today – my uncle and his partner who’ve been together for 14 years, and have a daughter aged 8 (or thereabouts) finally decided to wed. It was a fairly small affair, just [...]

Saturday 0515: Alarm goes off. Drag myself out of bed and head for shower. 0600: Start finding things to put into rucksack. Change of clothes, shoes, drum sticks (1 pair), Oystercard, diary, keys, tissues, Star Trek piano music, sleeping bag… no, that doesn’t fit, and I won’t be sleeping anyway… oh alright, just in case. [...]

I’ve been watching some of the Comic Relief stuff on TV this evening. It is quite a remarkable thing, really. In 2005, Red Nose Day raised £65m. That sounds quite a lot, and it’s great. But what gets me is this: Olympics budget rises to £9.3bn and the government is forking out [...]
