Northumberland

Camping this wknd up by Hadrian's wall. The weather was apparently normal for summer in these parts but our pitch stayed almost mud free. I imagined the wall would be bigger but after 2000 years of people scavenging the stones i suppose It's surprising that any of it remains. The roman fort at housesteads was well worth a look, especially for those interested in latrines. The scenery all over northumberland is beautiful. Makes me want to live in the country. Not sure if the demand for IT personnel would keep a roof over my head though. Why whenever i go away for the wknd do i want to stay? I even like living amongst the Didsburati. Perhaps i should travel more. Perhaps i should stay where i am more and sort out the lounge of our flat? Anyway, this is the longest journey as a passenger I've done for years and i quite like it.

The wedding of the year (so far)

This weekend saw me wading barefoot through the glastonbury mud. Not for the first time, but this time I was drinking champagne at Sophie and Dr Jon's wedding. There may be more details and even pictures to follow, but I'm trying to give this blog a semblence of being current and I don't have much spare time. Just imagine a great big wedding with buckets of rain.

I'm back!

BT finally came up with the goods and we have a 4 meg connection. I feel that I've rejoined the human race. I'm relieved that unscrupulous comment posters haven't taken the advantage to hawk their wares and post insults while I've been unable to moderate. Anyway, Phil came round for tea, we ate a vegetable packed risotto' with chocolate cake for dessert. I'm late for bed now, more drivel soon

The recent dearth of entries on my blog is due in no small part to the appaling lack of internet access at my new flat. Although it is a bit of a palace in many other ways. Until I can galvanise either BT or TalkTalk into action it looks like Withington Library will be my gateway to the world wide web for some time to come so apologies to my regular readers - normal service will be resumed as soon as possible

Gen and Dempsey came round for drinks last night and we made a little trip to my new local - the Didsbury.

Fruit & veg today? - a banana
Exercise today? - a bit of a ride on my bike
Hours of sleep I'm going to get tonight? - should be enough
