The sound of hot water pouring 6 months ago

Pouring hot water from a kettle or a teapot has a wonderful calming sound. It’s as though there is nothing else at that moment. Cold water does not compare at all. Next time you make a cup of tea really listen.



build 100 bicycle wheels in 2008 (read all 5 entries…)
Only a few days till the end of 2008 11 months ago

At the last count it was around 75. Can’t see me doing another 25 in the next few days. But I have documented each wheel in my blog and it’s really great to be able to see them all and remember each one. I didn’t keep many records for the names of the clients though.

So I’m gonna hold out with the number till the 31st comes around and then declare the result.



get a new bottle of single malt
Not quite single 11 months ago

Got a bottle of Famous Grouse for doing some IT support. Not single malt but will fill the whisky vacuum for the time being.
