Moved!
Ok, so I moved a couple of weeks ago, but only today did I *finally* get my internet connected.
Goodbye to the Hampshire woodturners association
After about two and a half years of being a member of the Hampshire woodturners association, it is time to say goodbye. Tomorrow’s meeting is the AGM marking the end of the subscription year, and since I am planning to move away from the area in the next few months, I will not be renewing my…
The laziness of getting fit
I’ve become aware that more than ever all I was doing was sitting. Either on trains to and from work, or at my desk at work. Add to that a free flowing supply of soft drinks, tea, biscuits, crisps and the occasional ‘cake day’ and it was clear that I needed to do something about…
A commuter’s life
So there are a couple of reasons I wanted to write this short post after just 1 week of commuting. The first is just to comment on the things that I’ve already noticed. However, the second reason was to actually write this whilst commuting.

This week I passed my fifth year living in Eastleigh. It’s the longest I’ve lived in a place since my childhood home in a town called Crowborough.
LoveFilm video streaming
LoveFilm also allow video streaming of some of their catalogue. Given that my television is connected to my Asrock running ubuntu, this means I can live stream content directly to my television. And it’s really good.
Honeymoon
Kat had never been to America, and we both liked the idea of going to San Francisco for our honeymoon. What with it being such a long way, I came up with the suggestion that we also spend some time in New York afterwards, to make the journey home slightly less crazy than the journey…
