So here’s what happened, with some pictures: I left on Monday, already running late […]

My Internet History

I’ve been trawling the Way Back Machine lately for links & images for my recently re-added geek t-shirts collection page (work in progress), and happened upon a link to a page I used to have: “My Internet History”. I don’t have this page any more, it was one of the things I dropped when I […]

Update in few words

Still running. (I’ve entered a 10k race) Still 30-day-shredding. (Apart from one missed Monday) Still sober. (Not as hard as I thought) Still happy. (♥)
