Working in London = overrated
June 23rd, 2009I got up at 7am this morning, got on a crowded train at 8, worked from 9 to 6.30, went for a quick drink, London Shitland was delayed on the way back, got home at 9.30! And now I’m knackered.
Going to London is overrated!
Visit to the Kings Langley wind turbine
June 21st, 2009Yesterday I visited Beaufort Court a.k.a. the Kings Langley wind turbine, which is sited on the old Ovaltine chicken farm …

Bletchley Park
June 14th, 2009I went to Bletchley Park today (Wikipedia page), home of the code-breaking efforts during World War II.
On my own!
They are starting to preserve the original nissen huts and later brick buildings like this one …
The rebuilt Colossus, arguably the first digital computer:
Captured Japanese codebooks:
They have their own Harrier:
and at the end of the day there was a fly-past by a WWII Hurricane:
I’ll have to take N-sama next time!

Well, the view out of the back anyhow:
Day in the garden
May 24th, 2009Best thing, just sitting by the garden all day watching the tiny birds.
Thinking about getting a duck island.
Taste of India
May 22nd, 2009Celebrating the third anniversary of this blog, we went to Taste of India, a surprisingly good Indian restaurant in the village …
Nookie?
The kings of idiots
May 20th, 2009Today is the third anniversary of this blog. By some sort of dreadful anti-cosmic coincidence, it’s similar to the second anniverary.
Picnic
May 17th, 2009

Gent panorama
May 8th, 2009Click to enlarge
Here is one I did of the medieval centre of Gent, which didn’t come out quite right, partly because of the dismal weather, and partly because I missed a bit in the middle - doh!

I quite like these panoramas though. I wish I’d taken a few more now …

Kara-age, overcooked!
April 25th, 2009
Too overcooked, unfortunately.
Today I made katsu curry-rice, which was just about perfect though.
It’s POCKY! (Not Mikado or whatever)
April 18th, 2009Not sure about the whole message there, but anyhow … inspired by this advert, I bought a packet. 59p per packet, and they are quite tiny compared to the real pocky. Also the milk chocolate is horrible compared to the plain chocolate pocky they sell in Japan.
