i have been a bit quiet on the personal postings front of late – partly by design, but also since reorging my life last year my personal utilisation – in terms of weekends occupied doing fun stuff – has skyrocketed, leaving me swamped with so much to talk about that i never actually bother to document it.

stuff like having darren and his wife bronwyn over to the house of an evening, cooking some really nice local lamb chops delazed with marsala; roll-cut carrots with butter, cream mash of king edwards with mustard, and “this is quite possibly the best bread and butter pudding i have ever had in my life”, as darren kindly put it. a lovely evening with surprisingly low geek content, and a lot of advice about world travel in both directions.

there have been other things – the saga of getting extra/replacement wingmirrors for the suzuki so that i can see properly behind me, for purposes of advanced training; my riding experience is much nicer now, and was proven in a 120-mile ride out to worthing seafront on the south coast, for breakfast last sunday.

this past week has been spent doing work however, and so i can expend time in writing it up properly.

so i shall.
