• morning after the night before…

    it’s pleasant to be back and relaxed after hitting a deadline successfully; the only slight fly in the ointment is the general tiredness from previous work exhaustion, plus going into london to celebrate, plus the subsequent three mile walk homewards in pitch darkness from the train station. but it was fun.

  • storms about

    wind rushing, rain blatting, cats cowering, and we lost another tree on the road where i park my car. an interesting night which i would take more interest in if i hadn’t a deadline to hit before noon tomorrow…

    my usual late sunday start, amused and informed by eddie mair on broadcasting house on bbc radio 4 – i sallie forth to seek adventure, inner peace, and nostalgia that is not my own. first stop, via farnham and gomshall and dorking to see the motorcycles on box hill, a hillock in east sussex with

  • past history

    OK, so, what has happened for the past 10 days or so? Sunday 15th september: took my cat (Suzi) to the vet for a second checkup (post-seizure) and for her annual vaccinations; she’s been OK since the seizure, but I quit the antibiotics in case they helped cause it, even though they are generally considered
