Very hot bank holiday Monday. Did very little today, and liked it. Listened to some vinyl, read a book, took Teilo to Starbucks. He was flaked out in the heat

A good day of meetings (in a villa inhabited by nuns – the project partners are based on the work of Don Bosco) I took a walk across the Tiber tonight

Traditional fireworks

I’m a traditionalist (where tradition = things I did when I was young, not that historical tradition stuff) when it comes to fireworks. They are for November 5th, NOT Halloween. You have a slightly disappointing box in the back garden. It is raining.

This is Bruce the shark. Yes he’s named after the shark in Jaws

So I did, and a nice man is coming to replace the tyre on the drive tomorrow. Actually I don’t know if he’s nice. I’m assuming.

Games

Daughter and I are having some kind of alternative olympics. I beat her at bowling, and this horseopoly, then she thrashed me at Connect 4. This game is a direct copy of Monopoly but not made by Hasbro. I guess it must just differ enough not to infringe copyright. We’ve always liked board games, prompted … Continue reading →

The boss

This is my Siamese fighting fish, he is the boss of the tank. We have named him Hendrikx after the hard man of the Cardiff Devils team.
