Nice, funny-ish, a bit sweary (sorry, not fucking sorry). Ageing disgracefully. Cooking and eating, music (20th century), travel, reading, history, genealogy, photography, ex-archery, less political here than there (not much).

It's all a huge circle-jerk now - I've had head-colds that lasted longer than Teather's political career.

Amongst all the opprobrium for Davies, let's not overlook the fact that Heffer and Redwood are massive shitheads as well.
The Tories can't help themselves - the last desperate knockings on their death-knell bell.

Tremendous response. It's ALMOST cheered me up enough to want to go!

Guy who came to unclog my drain asked if I'd be interested in joining his chapter.
Nice fella, late 40s, born in the same area as me, very 'working class made better', seemed to use it almost exclusively for making business contacts.
I declined cos he's a Chelsea supporter. I'm not stupid.

From a landscape and nature point of view, the US West Coast is almost unmatched. Where else can you drive from an ocean to a glacier, taking in a 10,000ft mountain pass and the lowest point in the US on the way, and end up in high desert next to the oldest living thing.
