June 30, 2005English Summer (1)Our six-day-summer came to an end with the deluge that flooded Glastonbury along with large parts of central England last Friday and cut power to 35000 homes in the Manchester area. Yesterday, between downpours and with the distant rumble of...Read this update June 26, 2005The Gremlins are loseI am at the end of my tether with all things writing-connected. Blogger has deleted my blogs, and this grates enormously. My blogs may not have had many readers, they may not have been particularly interesting or well-written, but they...Read this update June 24, 2005Guts no GustoJohn has said that he doesn't like chitlings.

It has served us well and it could hobble along for a bit longer with memory upgrades, but it is as far from today's PCs as a...Read this update June 09, 2005Whale watching in the Bay of Biscay(>1500 words) I emerged from my stifling dark cabin at five thirty in the morning, surprised to find it already light outside. Eagerly, I climbed the stairs to the observation deck. When I pushed open the doors, the air was...Read this update June 08, 2005OoopsRe. my indignance when Boots (the Chemist!) didn't supply my pictures as jpeg files on the photo CD—well, today John tried to decipher the thing on his labtop and encountered reams upon reams of legalese about a license for a...Read this update June 06, 2005There has got to be an Alternative.....or are we all to be irrevocably assimilated by evil conglomerates? The other day, I got my Bay of Bisay pictures back and so I wanted (finally!) to blog about that magical day at sea. So this morning I sat...Read this update June 03, 2005¡Pasaron!I have been feeling like shit for the last couple of days.
