Well I finally made it to a party conference. It is too early to know yet whether the conference is/will be a success for the party or for me. I am still getting used to the whole thing. As it is only down the road I am commuting, making use of the 20% discount I […]

Big weekend

It has been a big weekend, with two late nights. On Saturday Jayne and I went to the middle of nowhere for a family wedding and then tonight I took Frankie up to London for some live comedy.
Crawley village
August 30th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life
There has long been a light-hearted debate about whether the Maidenbower neighbourhood in Crawley is a village or an estate ((its an estate)) but now the BBC seem to be saying that Crawley itself is a village according to this story.

Holidays 2009
August 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life
Expect a fair few holiday-related posts here over the next few days, even if they are only tangentially related to our hols. Jayne and I returned from Crete today – our first holiday on our own for ten years (not counting some long-weekend-type city breaks) and who know, there might even be some sister Jane […]
Reasons to be cheerful – part 100
August 7th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Life
A few more photos from and thoughts about Tuesday’s big event – Auntie Ivy’s 100th birthday party. In retrospect I wish I had taken the day off rather than going straight from work, hitting the rush hour traffic and getting there an hour late. Since my own commute is a mere five miles I underestimate […]
Zombies in Trafalgar Square
August 3rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life
This afternoon I made the short journey up to London to go and see Andrew do his thing in Trafalgar Square as part of Anthony Gormley’s One & Other project. I went for several reasons: to support Andrew, to support a good cause, to get some use out of my cameras, and because…Â well I […]

Saw this van on the way back from Worthing. Either he really is a eletrician or he should be asking the bloke who paints his van for a hefty discount.
Boisterous
July 27th, 2009 · Comments Off on Boisterous · Life
There was a funfair along Worthing seafront today. When you see a sign that says “Warning – this is a very boisterous ride” it is very hard to resist…Â Â so I went on it to keep Chrystal company while Jayne minded the bags and camera. Boisterous is not a word I have heard to describe […]

We went down to Worthing today.  The main reason was to get some shoes for Chrystal (there is a Brantano shop there with a decent choice of large sizes) but really it was an excuse to go to the seaside too, and get a Sunday roast at the Warwick. After lunch we walked round the […]
The Tolpuddle experience
July 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Politics
A few days have passed since visiting Tolpuddle so if I write about it now it is not fresh in my mind and I may have forgotten some details, but at least that stops me wittering on about total ephemera. So anyway, here are some thoughts about the event, about the Labour movement in general […]
