The stoat in winter

wiliiam-from-miriams-galaxy-s2-2011-12-18 17.57.43 I don't think I've troubled you with a picture of me for a while, so here is one I particularly like, taken with Miriam's Galaxy S2 (rush out and buy one now, its got our GPS in it, which is apparently far better than the competition).

If you look closely at my right thigh (and who would not wish to do so?) you'll see the graze I got on today's run at the point where I fell over an electric fence that I hadn't noticed was there. Fortunately the 'lectric itself was off. That was in the middle of the mad wiggly bit where I got totally lost trying to find my way back to the Thames, having got myself onto the wrong bank.

although I'm wearing a beer festival tee-shirt, I'm drinking port. Port by the fire of a winter's afternoon is very pleasant.

I would very much like your help in picking out a tee-shirt to wear around town. Let me tell you about the town, and you'll be able to make an appropriate suggestion. I live in a conservative, working class, quasi-religious city, though my heart is in a nearby radical lefty atheistic edgy cool…
Another in my marathon posts, but! To a new city, Rotterdam. Which is indeed a fairly new city, having been bombed to buggery (by us, mostly, I presume [update: no, I'm wrong, it was the Krauts]) during WW II. Anyway, TL:DR: 3:55:53. Which is one second slower than Amsterdam 2012. Here's my list,…
As I mentioned, I was on the road over the weekend. Unfortunately, that means I didn't manage to come up with a new post for this morning. That's OK, though. Off to the archives we go. This post originally appeared on February 7, 2006. Holy crap! That's over two years ago! Enjoy (I hope). Fear not…

I'm sure you are imagining the lens distortion.

"lens distortion has done something a bit weird to my head"

Yeah, I use that excuse a lot too. In my case, it takes most of my hair off :-)

At least your injury can be described as a 'war story' of sorts. I just slipped over on the ice outside my garage whilst topping up the firewood, where's the yarn in that?
