Well, I think it’s about time I brought an update on the resolutions. The last time I checked on those, things were progressing slowly, or not at all. And in the usual order: Filing. I got ahead last week so I could spend a bit of time off this week – I’ll be about ten …

Family Tree Update
On Saturday, we visited my father-in-law’s family to make a start on my wife’s family tree. We managed to add just over sixty names to the list, bringing to total to over two hundred! As usual, a lot of the details are concentrated near the bottom of the tree – people who are still alive …
First Steps
So, it’s February and I think I can say I’ve made an acceptable start to my New Year’s resolutions. In order, then! Filing. My aim is to scan and shred fifty documents each week. I have done 392 so far, compared to an expected 250. This is pretty impressive, though it helps that the first …
Man of Resolve

Apple Bites
Just a quick update today: Apple has gone up one point in my mind. One of my big problems with them has always been that iTunes, the ambassador to the Windows world, has only offered English (United States) as a language. Not just ‘English’ with a silent ‘whoops we thought this was English’ but ‘English …
I never realised this would become a political blog…
So, the British Nationalist Party managed to get on Question Time and almost the entire audience was wanting to ask questions about Nick Griffin’s nasty policies. I have to say that I think to anyone who sees the BNP as just another political party (whether or not they would actually vote for them), Griffin presented …
