History

I was at Lord's this morning.

Woo-hoo!

I exist

Hello

I have been working on this (pages 46 - 50). That's not an excuse for not posting, but I thought you might be interested.

Urgh

Today has just been terrible. One of those days. But worse.

Nothing happened, of course, but I just couldn't work up any enthusiasm for anything, couldn't think and came home from work, without having done any work, feeling drained.

Tomorrow is another day. (Metaphorically)

Lost in time

The origin of the name "Shoreditch" is not clear. Not, it seems, due to Jane Shore, since references to Soersditch predate her. A sewer, then? Perhaps.

Slightly disappointed to see that we will not be sitting on top of any hidden rivers (like we are in Battersea - the Falconbrook flows beneath our street) though the Walbrook does rise nearby. Or did.


Moving sometime next month. Suddenly we will be massively in debt. For 25 years. I'm not quite getting to grips with this whole 'life' thing. It seems very odd.

Back in the Maritim

Hello

Bonn is overcast and damp.

I just thought you'd like to know.

Whitehall, here we come

So farewell then, old Ergon House
You welcomed all – Toff, Chav or Scouse
We hot-desked well – We didn’t grouse
And now your time has gone

The light was bad, the space was cramped
But cyclists liked your curvy ramp
The Gentleman’s loos were always damp
And now your time has gone

And so to Whitehall Place we fly
Yes now it’s time to say goodbye
Please do forgive me if I cry
For now your time has gone

To the dogs

Went to Wimbledon last night. Had never been before. Seems pretty easy, really. I picked the winners of the first four races I bet on, losing badly in the 5th. Still, came out up on the night, which was nice.
