Anyone who follows me on twitter might be aware that a couple of weeks ago I was looking for little figurines.The quest caused a few surreal moments in my life.
Jamie told me that at the moment, Smyths were selling Lego minifigs and that possibly what I wanted (whatever it was for) could be got there. [...]

Love the song but it’s not currently on iTunes.
Ages ago now, from the front of a windsurfing magazine, I got a free DVD called Escape from Pressure. It must have been 7 or 8 years ago, maybe 10. Before I started kitesurfing anyway. It was one of the best DVDs I ever got, even though it was free. It should be on MPORA [...]

In other news, I’m on the look out for a supply of Cypriot coffee [...]

So I decided to buy climbing shoes in the Great Outdoors today. I didn’t anything too technical (eg, expensive) but wanted something that could be described as semi comfortable (partly naive there) but more specifically as “mine”.
I’m not good at buying shoes, and specialist shoes – let’s be honest, from about March to November I [...]
