Some humiliations never die. When I was 13 years old, I made an utter tit of myself over a girl. Actually, I did that about a dozen times over the course of my teenage years. But one, in particular, was particularly cringeworthy ((as an aside, I’m thinking that one of these days I should write […]

Last night, I decided to perform some bicycle maintenance tasks that I’ve been putting off for too long, one of which was to adjust the angle of the saddle. It is said that a bad workman blames his tools. On this occasion, I am the kind of workman who blames his tools, but ultimately accepts […]

A startlingly interesting bike ride
Usually the number of interesting things that happens during my 4 mile commute is some non-negative integer n where n = n mod 2. But today, three interesting things happened! Well, not that interesting, but there were three of them! 1. There’s a decomposing animal which I have been monitoring since Friday. On Friday it […]

I mowed the lawn and the lawn lost
*Google says that I’m not the first person to use this “I fought the lawn…” pun in a blog post title. Ah well, you win some, you lose some.* Back in March, we had a lawn installed. As the grass gradually got longer and longer, we realised that we could not delay the purchase of […]

Regular readers will be familiar with Snappy, the venus fly trap that I have been nurturing for the last two years. This afternoon, Karen and I were in the conservatory, pouring wormery juice onto the plants therein. She looked out into the garden. “Is that Snappy’s pot, out there on the table?” I followed her […]

We have not read each others entries before publishing, and have taken care not to discuss them.* I haven’t done the sums, but I don’t think it would be inaccurate […]
This story is disgusting and should only be read by those who have nerves of steel.
The baby has tonsillitis! This comes as a great shock to me. I’ve had tonsillitis before, and Bernard seems to be coping with it much better than I ever did. I have two choices: either refuse to accept that the doctor’s diagnosis is correct, or accept the fact that I am a big soft wuss […]

Recent Listening Episode IV
Here’s what I’ve been listening to since [23rd October 2006][]. [23rd october 2006]: http://pete.nu/blog/2006/10/recent-listening-time-again/ **The Information** by *Beck* I’m coming to the realisation that *Beck* was all about *Odelay* for me. Ever since then, I have listened to each subsequent album less and less. *Mutations*, *Midnite Vultures*, *Sea Change*, *Guero*… they taper off gradually. Not […]
