On the Road Again
The beginning of the Irish chronicle. Our epic journey started in Plymouth with an easy two hour drive to Bristol airport one sunny Saturday afternoon. An easy drive hasn’t been guaranteed the last couple of months due to the Curse of the Acoustic Foam! No, it’s not a campy B-movie, but instead an attempt by…

Remember that time I went to Cardiff?

Organisation Failure and an Impromptu Shirt
Organisation Failure and an Impromptu Shirt Normally my schedule is organised. Orderly. I adopted the Microsoft calendar years ago on Windows Mobile, and migrated to Google calendar which has successfully managed my life for many years. That didn’t prevent me from turning up to work in the most casual of clothes, and moments later receiving…
