Of confusing gigs and floods

Yesterday was gig day. I shared a post originally stating that I was playing at North Ormesby Institute. Well as it happens that was not quite right. As it turned out we were actually booked to play North Ormesby WMC, a very different club two miles down the road. We only found this out thenContinue reading “Of confusing gigs and floods”

I ordered a Burley Travoy

In case you’re wondering, it’s a bike trailer! I think a lot of this was brought on by my love of folding bikes, but also by my love of the purity and design of the Fiido D2S (my latest bike).

My waist hasn’t shrunk much, but I’ve noticed that the wobbly leftover of my old fatContinue reading “To continue a theme.”
