Thursday, March 3rd 2016 – Den Bosch We’d been planning on catching the Hieronymus Bosch exhibition in his home town of S’Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch as it’s more commonly -and pronounceably – known) since we’d first got wind of it back in 2015, and the looming new job start focussed our minds on getting it…

Travel 2015 – Bruges, Day 3
Monday, December 14th 2016 – Bruges Monday was “how many museums can you pack into one day” as we endeavoured to see as much as possible and coincidentally also get as much value for money as we could out of the Bruges City Card. We were woken early anyway as we’d left the window open…
Travel 2015 – Bruges, Day 2
Sunday, December 13th 2015 – Bruges So it was up and at ’em pretty promptly on Sunday morning as we wanted to see as much as possible. It was a ridiculously mild morning so after breakfast in the somewhat disappointing breakfast room (which felt more like an institutional cafeteria than a dining room in what…
Travel 2015 – London, Bruges, Day 1
Saturday, 12th December 2015 – London, Bruges This trip came about because we’d fancied a “Christmas Markets” type weekend away in the run up to Christmas and as I was hunting for something that appealed a deal came up for a Eurostar and hotel package at a price that was too good to walk away…
Theatre 2014 – The Crucible, The Old Vic, London
We were lucky enough to get hold of tickets for what has been a pretty much sold out production of “The Crucible” at The Old Vic, opting for a Saturday afternoon matinee (made necessary by the fact that at almost 4 hours, if we’d gone for an evening performance we’d have spent the last half…
Music 2013 – Music in My Head!
Thank you, BBC Radio 4 for leaving me humming (badly, out-of-tune) the wonderfully evocative “When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease” by Roy Harper. It’s odd, isn’t it, how you can not hear something for months, or in this case years, and suddenly in the space of two week’s I’ve heard it twice, once in…
2012 SJM Formula 3 Macau Grand Prix – Provisional Entry List
I know the 59th Macau Grand Prix is still more than a month away but I’m really liking the entry list this year. I think it has the potential to be a cracking race, and I certainly wouldn’t like to try and predict a winner (and I’m looking forward to being able-bodied enough by then…
Music 2012 – Silliness
On the grounds that it is, apparently, 25 years since the first IKEA store opened in the UK, I bring you this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO7W2Tytfvk And here are the words for anyone who wants to know… Ikea by the very wonderful Mitch Benn We come from the lands of the snow and ice And gods of war…

Travel 2012 – Isola Bella (What a Show-Off), Italy
On the final day of our recent Italian trip we had a lot of time to kill between checking out of the hotel and getting to the airport (that’s a lot as in a whole day), so we decided that a trip to another of the Italian Lakes would be in order. We’ve wandered around…
