Since then I learned to ride a bike, travelled to Lanzarote and Canada, started proper photography courses with a proper SLR camera and have been baking (fresh banana muffins for breakfast mmmmh!) and cooking (gazpacho is messy to make, delicious during the summer).

I have a couple more of planned projects that had been in the back burner for ages, plus training to prepare me to get a new job later this year (if there are any, with everybody talking up a recession such happening is a self fulfilling prophecy).

Am I the only person to find Jie Zheng very attractive? (apart from her husband that is) Talking to some guys about the most attractive girls in Wimbledon this year, I made my preference for her known above the Easter European peroxide blondes littering the courts of Wimbledon this year, I was in a minority of one...

How do you stop teenagers killing each other with knifes? Curfews I say. all 18 years old and younger should be on curfew after 19:00. No ifs, no buts. If you are caught afterwards then you go to do community service for a month, after 42 days of not being told why you are in the slammer.

We are in our way to a police state anyway, so we should at least reap some benefits out of this.

I just noticed a few days ago a plaque claiming to be exactly in meridian 0. When I go for a jog I go from the Eastern to the Western hemisphere and back each time. So what you ask? Nothing really. Just that.
