There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a man with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage. [...]
Cath and I just got back from a couple of days away. It was a good trip, starting as all the best do – with no clear idea of where we were going. We headed down the M3 towards Cornwall on Sunday morning, checking the map as we went and deciding our first stop would [...]

Wow, yesterday I actually had a day off. Cath and I popped down to The Fox on the River for lunch and a nice sit by the river while we looked over the Open Uni course brochure. Cath’s planning to do some subjects at the same time as me, so this should make life a [...]
Another week almost gone. Where? How? Self-assessment time: how have I improved my life this week? OK, I’ve done a hell of a lot of work – 64 hours this week with another day left (assuming no weekend work, which there will be). In terms of pure achievement, this isn’t significant, but its effects are: [...]
