The flat-hunt has been looking a little less positive these last two days. Both the possibilities have turned out not to be. Ah well. I’ve found a few more leads now though, and in the meantime have resorted to making … Continue reading
So. Tuesday night I went out with Ted, Ken, Virginia, half of Delays and some other people. It was a good night. I’d been somehow worried about not getting on with anyone back here but I shouldn’t have been. Everything … Continue reading

In the post today: A CD containing the contents of my old hard drive, including every article, essay, diary thing, e-mail, chat history, everything. I now have a complete catalogue of my Southampton days and can begin to piece it … Continue reading
