July 28, 2006When the Karateka doesn't come to the Dojo...Note: Closed for comments due to spambot-activity It's still hot and sunny outside and for days I found excuses not to work on my rewrite. Yesterday, finally, some phrases popped into my brain, so I ran upstairs and wrote for...Read this update July 25, 2006Greenland: Tickets arrived!I'm all go! The tickets are here, and not only that—the Pentax WP10 replacement camera arrived yesterday. So, everything is in place and in just over two weeks, I'll be on my way to Greenland. The ticket prices are staggering:...Read this update July 20, 2006Greenland: the heat is onIt is hot. Officially. Iwas laughing when the weatherman issued a 'heatwave warning' on the second day temperatures had climbed beyond thirty degrees, but in the last two days it has been as hot as I ever remembered from my...Read this update July 18, 2006My new Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200My new Sharp Zaurus SL-C3200 has arrived. At under 300g its swivel-screen clamshell hides a fully functional keyboard and tiny colour display, its sides are fringed with orifices: a USB port, SD card slot and a Cf slot. In fact,...Read this update July 14, 2006Greenland: nuts and boltsAll set. I'm awaiting the final confirmation from UMIAQ so that I can try to book accommodation in Ilussiat, but if the hostel is full, I can rely on my tent—so long as the ground isn't frozen solid! I have...Read this update July 12, 2006Greenland: Equipment HaulIt was a beautiful day for it, and it has to be done, so I caught a lift with my husband on his way to the weekly meeting at Reading University. Looking in vain for the Army surplus shop supposedly...Read this update July 11, 2006The Coleman Epsilon 2 Tent: A Preliminary ReviewDo you remember the old joke about the swing designed by a committee? It ends up with the swing dangling in the centre of a tree with the trunk suspended above it by scaffolding. All the customer wanted was an...Read this update Geenland: planning cont.This was where I was at last Friday (quote from my contact at Arctic Umiaq Line): 'hi denni how about this price dkk 6341 flight copenhaven-kangerlussuaq, boat Kangerlussuaq-Ilulissat on seat, return with flight Ilulissat-kangerlussuaq-copenhagen. best regards Inger' Since then, I...Read this update July 10, 2006One Morning in July...Pics were taken with my little toy-spy camera They all gathered. Young and old, Cold War veterans and the new generation of peace protesters—even a contingent of Buddhist monks. By the time I arrived at our friendly Neighbourhood Atomic Weapons...Read this update July 07, 2006Aldermaston Action (again)Things concerning our Friendly Neighborhood Atomic weapons Establishment are hotting up. During a recent dinner at the Mansion House (rather than, say, a session in parliament), Prime-Minister-to-be Gordon Brown announced that he will definitely look into options to replace Trident....Read this update Greenland: hickupsI have to say my contact at Arctic Umiaq is going out of her way to facilitate my travel to Greenland, but it looks as if I will have to fly to Ilulissat—right over prime whalewatching country—and only spend two...Read this update July 06, 2006Greenland: planning progressWould you go to Greenland for a thousand quid? Even if the trip is only ten days long—perhaps as little as one week, plus a few days in Copenhagen on the way there or back? And with no tobacco run?...Read this update July 05, 2006Worldnomads Honour ClaimThe review committee at Worldnomads has found in my favour (I think I have blogged this before) and have now settled my claim. The settlement is fair and it means that I can replace my backpack and sturdy boots which...Read this update Greenland go? Weeell...It now looks as if the Dell engineers are going to install the Company's servers (it's a big order—about 1 million dollars' ). This means that John won't get his summer job. He'll still not take his holidays—he has projects...Read this update July 03, 2006Summer Travel PlansJohn has received a fat bonus. He has also agreed to give up his remaining holiday leave so that he can help the Company set up its new servers in London in August (this has nothing to do with his...Read this update |
