A close thing

I've just had a look on the website for the bike I bought Summer Bicycles and am very thankful that I bought this year's model. As far as I can make out it's only the colour scheme that's changed, but I really prefer the silver to th...

Is this a good enough reason?

nobody@vox.com(Jewel of the South) — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 12:09:11 -0700

Yes, this is the reason I haven't blogged lately. A couple of blogs ago I explained we were buying bikes. Mine was delivered five weeks ago and I have literally spent every spare moment riding it. Unfortunately my only spare moments are at the w...

How can I justify this?

nobody@vox.com(Jewel of the South) — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 08:41:05 -0700

I have two iPods. An iPod Photo which I've had for about two and a half years and a silver Shuffle which I got pretty much on the day of release last November. I love them both for different reasons. The 45 Gig Photo means I can take loads and lo...

Life Posters with Posterino

nobody@vox.com(Jewel of the South) — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 12:49:18 -0700

I wanted to sing the praises of an app. I've been using for about a year now. Posterino is one of those brilliant Mac applications created by an individual who is passionate about his subject. Those of you familiar with the instructions given ...

I'm baaaaak!

Yes I know. I thought this blog might be dead too, but I'm attempting to have another go before it completely disappears through lack of content. My biggest obsession at the moment is quite a surprise. Not at all techy, although that may change. ...

This is how bad it's got.

nobody@vox.com(Jewel of the South) — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 14:14:07 -0700

I'm one of those people whose computer launches loads of social/communication software on startup. Skype, iChat, MSN IM, Twitterific etc. I like to keep an eye on what my friends and family are up to on an hour by hour basis. Well guess what? I'...

Two Months Ago?

nobody@vox.com(Jewel of the South) — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 14:03:58 -0700

I know I've let things slide here but TWO MONTHS? I've had some truly great things happen in that time too. I took photos to prove it, but I didn't get around to actual blogging. We went to see Frank Sidebottom and he was fantastic. Last time we...

Isle of Wight Festival 2007

nobody@vox.com(Jewel of the South) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 15:04:49 -0800

Last year I found out that the Foo Fighters were playing the IOW Festival. As soon as I discovered this I was desperate to contact my gig-buddy to see if he'd like to accompany me. On checking the dates on the website I discovered that it was the...

Headlights

nobody@vox.com(Jewel of the South) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 12:15:02 -0800

We've been driving a lot in the last two days. Yesterday we left home at 2.30pm and arrived in Manchester at 9.30pm after horrendous holdups quite close to home. Roadworks and sheer volume of Friday evening traffic, the culprits. This morning we...

Frog Spawn

After about ten years, our pond has at last, been deemed a suitable place to bring up baby frogs. We are honoured indeed! (It's that sort of grey bit in the centre of the photo)
