Today I want to be on a boat. Out rocking about on the surf, hearing that rippling of water in the wake and the flick of the sails as they're set. Perfect visibility and no sun to blind you with its glare, everything silvers and greys. I want to have a wet sheetline in one hand and the tiller in the other, leaning out so I could almost dip my head ( Read more... ) -

I'm afraid this is another of those ubiquitous "Warn your friends about this" messages, but looking at it, it seems far more likely and menacing than many. Supposedly corroborated by at least one policeperson, I thought I'd leave you to make your own minds up:

Well, so about a month on from my last post and things have definitely moved on. Like I mentioned, I was looking for a house - a 3-bed with garden in Central London for £400 or under per week - which was quite an undertaking. But ultimately, it paid off: we are now residents of Camden, in a lovely little place which fulfills all the criteria we ( Read more... ) -

The summer course was really good fun, all in all. Three weeks of having a bunch of fourty Chinese boys between 13 and 17 hanging from my every word and absorbing priceless tidbits of knowledge from the stream of instruction which I offered forth ( Read more... ) -

Well, it's been quite a while since I last dropped any news here, and although I have to be dragged away on an outing in a minute, I thought that I might as well make a start at explaining my period of absence ( Read more... )
