The Holiday of a Lifetime….
“Live like Ann Frank in a lovely Amsterdam attic”.
Entire top floor apartment located just opposite the Anne Frank house.
A very nice location, Dam square 5 minutes walk and all the major attractions, restaurants, and night life within walking distance. The Jordaan area is home to many students, artists, and young professionals. This lively and picturesque [...]
Strange Phone Call….
…last night. The phone rang, the display showing a mobile number. I picked it up and a mechanical voice started reading out gobbleygook. It sounded like random characters, no recognisable words (apart from what sounded like ‘troll’), with a great many “semi-colon”s and “zero”s.
I eventually worked out that somebody was text-messaging our [...]
Health Update 2…
Getting off Verapamil wasn’t so easy as it appeared. It’s thankfully gone now, but for the last three days, I had a continual headache; looking at various medical sites, it fitted all the signs of a Tension Headache – slightly stiff neck, runny nose, getting worse through the day.

Having all but given up on the idea, after having so many failures, I discovered Puppy Linux. This runs on [...]

Irritatingly, the organisers don’t give any indication of what they regard as “cool”. So I can suppose that it’s all a matter of opinion and that this blog has as good a chance as any of [...]

Mooning….
Just been out to fill up a bucket of coal for the night. And the Moon is looking gorgeous – nearly full and high in the sky, surrounded by hazy clouds with a hint of a full-circle rainbow.
I tried to take a photo, but my camera is so crappy that all I got [...]
Riding Out The Opposition…
For me, the big event of the day was an exact astrological opposition between Uranus and Saturn. So I’ve avoided getting involved in any celestial pile-ups by spending my time at the pooter, struggling to get to grips with Joomla. My long-awaited Building Websites With Joomla 1.5 arrived last week, but I was [...]
