What country do you call home? Do you like it? Any plans to defect? If you could live anywhere in the world and didn’t have the usual constraints (e.g. family, work), where would you choose? I li...

My ukulele self-build project has come to an end. Here are some details: I based the uke on this kit from Amazon. It was cheap, and my feeling was if I screw it up, I can just chalk it up to e...

So, Le Weekend, I swam twice this weekend, once at the local pool for nudie night and then again at the Oasis for playing with the boy. He managed to get a nose bleed after a particularly dramat...

It’s my birthday today. At one time I could keep it a secret, but facebook won’t allow that any more. It’s been a good day any way. The boy and the lady of my life gave me presents and I came hom...

I haven’t written for so long. I spend so much time working and doing things I have to do, I get no time for things I want to do. It’s the same for almost everyone I suppose. Lets have a look at ...
