On Tuesday, a chap next to me at the gym fell off his treadmill. He recovered himself pretty well and, after shooting off the back and into the cross trainer behind, got back on and carried on gingerly. Particularly impressive considering he was going at a fair lick of 12km/h at a hefty incline. It’s [...]
At midnight on midsummer’s night, I’ll be attempting the midnight sun half marathon in Tromsø, inside the Arctic circle. The sun will hopefully be shining. There will only be a few hundred other people running. We may have to run across a runway. Inspired by David’s marathon blog (and success!), I thought I’d post up [...]
It’s Saturday, I’m resting at home recovering from evil cold from hell, and I’m avoiding chores by looking for good music to wash up to. Here’s what I’ve got so far: Martika’s Kitchen – Martika The Boy Does Nothing – Alesha Dixon Dishwasher – Fujiya & Miyagi Soul Kitchen – The Doors Wash Your Face [...]
Thanks to the awesome LastGraph, I’ve mined my last.fm profile in a very elegant and beautiful way to look at listening habits over 2008, with the output below. No big surprises here. Had a couple of weeks off in late October/November so big chunk of listening there. Intriguied by a burst of listening to The [...]
Over the last month or so I’ve been flat-hunting extensively, crossing the threshold of various abodes listening to the same estate agent spiel. Sadly the experience was nothing out of the ordinary, and despite what anyone says, garden flats will always be a bit dark; rooms remain the same size regardless of which way around [...]
And so that was Christmas. And what have we done? Well, bugger all other than eat and drink actually. On Christmas day alone I gained an astounding 5lb. This sudden weight gain combined with the sinking feeling that many of last year’s resolutions will have to be rolled over to this year, has kick started [...]
Baubles, originally uploaded by minor9th. Hope everyone’s having a restful time of things today. I’m a bit drunk already. More soon.
So I have aged another year: no longer able to call myself an early twenty-something. Comfortingly, paranoid glances in the mirror reveal that crows feet are still a long way off. On the other hand, it seems neural degeneration has commenced in earnest. The most adult conversation had whilst making dinner this evening occurred after [...]
So I went go-karting. I crashed. It was fun. Then my foot swelled up for a couple of days and got better. Then a rib on my left side started hurting and has been painful since – I can’t lie flat or lie on that side without some considerable pain. Ibuprofen provides some respite but [...]
Having spent a couple of days visiting Sheffield and Wrexham, I have returned with: A beef and mustard sandwich A Sega Mega Drive in original box with one controller and Sonic The Hedgehog A 61-key Yamaha keyboard A midi hifi system from the shallow depths of 1999 with two(!) tape decks, minidisc *and* three CD [...]
