Cantabriggia

Very pleasant trip to Cambridge yesterday, ostensibly to attend Bodies in the Bookshop, a Crime Writers’ meet-and-greet thing at Heffers bookshop. Met up with the ever amiable Simon Kernick who joined Al and me in the Eagle afterwards for some pints and banter.

Took a couple of photos while I was wandering about. Enjoy.

Punts, the lot of ’em.

Camera

We have invested in a new digital camera, so hopefully a few more photos will be appearing on here and on my criminally underused Flickr page.

It looks like this:

Ill

Christ, I feel terrible. Off work again for the second time in three weeks. Think it must be Glandular fever – others have had it recently. Still, it gives me plenty of time to loll in bed and do nothing other than type for a few days, which is no bad thing given some of the things going on at the moment! More on that in another post.

Still, I’m lying in bed tapping away while the battery lasts on the laptop and listening to my IPod which is hooked up to my Logic3 speakers which I bought a couple of weeks back. Have set it to shuffle through the 960–odd songs I have on there and it is throwing up some great ones.

Just had Star by Primal Scream. And now The Only Living Boy in New Cross by Carter USM! Excellent!

Driving Hell

Had a pretty good drive to work this morning – right up until I reached Henley. Between there and Warwick, I and about 30 others were trapped behind some numpty doing 40 in a 60 the whole way. Meant I missed out on one of the decent parking spaces and so I will be a fair bit later home from work today. Bastards. Why do they do it?

WHY???

Lack of Action

Not a lot going on here I am afraid. This is entirely due to the fact that I don’t have internet access at home, and now I do much of my web browsing through FeedDemon it’s a bit tricky doing stuff at work. But will try to make at least a post or two a day from now on.
