Skiing @ Heavenly

This last weekend I went up to Heavenly with Steve & Nils, to partake in some skiing. The trip up on Friday night was pretty much perfect – the roads were clear from the warm week and the lack of recent snow, so we made about as good time as can be made. We stayed… Read more

Pfft

Still alive. This is the first time I’ve actually used my home computer in a week or more, though, I think… been rather busy. This weekend though I should be going skiing, which’ll be a most welcome break. Next weekend I’ll be in Vegas, which also will be a nice break. I don’t believe anything… Read more

One more week down

Not a lot more to report. I have another filling, which from memory brings the total to eight. I’m starting to regret going for the new-fangled non-metallic fillings; I’d be halfway to Jaws by now otherwise. ;) On the upside, I skipped the anaesthetic so it took less time than a regular check-up, woo-hoo!

It’s a fairly barren, but it has some nice views of the presently snow-tipped Mount Hamilton and Lick Observatory up the top there. Afterwards we went and saw… Read more

Home safe if not sound

My Canada jaunt went really well, and was great fun, but the day I left I came down with something nasty – probably just the flu, but some kind of Canadian super-flu – which has had me laid out since. I’m getting better, but very slowly.. I haven’t been this sick since glandular fever, from… Read more
