Welcome to my site. All opinions are my own, and founded on a breathtaking lack of knowledge about pretty much anything.
Anyway, enjoy... if that's possible!
Wireless headphones
I recently bought a fairly inexpensive, but pretty good (to my ears), wireless headphones. They’re the over-the-head type, not the in-ear ones. The noise cancellation is remarkable and it’s a complete revelation! They sound great. I’m not really all that…
I love where I live
If you know me, you know that I love the place where I live. However, it’s easy to forget just why you love it. I went down to the coast today with my camera and watch Santa sail in on…
I’ve joined Bluesky
I’ve not been all that happy about my continued use of X / Twitter. I’ve decided that I’m going to focus more effort into Bluesky from now on. I see this as a platform which has ethics more aligned to…
Trying something new
One of the things that I’ve noticed about myself lately is that I’m getting stale! I’m not really trying out new things. This is not a bad thing, but I had a revelation the other day that I ought to…
I love stumbling upon things, like this church

Paris
My family just went on a, somewhat impromptu, trip to Paris over the last few days. To say that I love Paris would be an enormous understatement. I think that it’s profoundly wonderful in so many ways. The architecture, the…
Happy day
Some days I wake up and have an enormous sense of wellbeing. Today was such a day. I'm having a happy day, and I hope that you do too.
My happy place
This fills me with enormous satisfaction. Every year at about this time, the temperature starts to drop, and we start to use the fire.
The way to make all conflicts worse
I have decided that all the world’s problems could be much worse. It goes without saying that the “I have decided” means that it’s true; for all people and all situations. Just accept it. Any problem can be made worse…
The solution to all conflict
I have decided that all the world’s problems have a solution. It goes without saying that the “I have decided” means that it’s true; for all people and all situations. Let’s just agree with this, shall we? Any problem can…
