Hello New Readers
December 30, 2006 | Comments Off
It occurs to me that because we put the addresses of our blogs on our Christmas card, it’s possible that some people who haven’t been by before may be visiting, so I jutst wanted to say hello.
Slightly startlingly, I’ve been keeping this thing for getting on for six years now, sometimes posting very frequently, […]

No, astonishingly, at this point I’m not going to write about the Christmas Day episodes of various soaps, as I don’t give any of them enough attention to warrant it - though Eastenders was on in our house and sounded every bit as grim as you’d expect.
No, this is about something I caught one night […]

I’m currently in an airport departure lounge awaiting the boarding of a delayed flight. The delay is nothing. So far today, two separate flights I was booked on, to two separate destinations, have been cancelled.

Heathrow, Terminal 1 to be exact.
