I was 5p short at the shop today. The lady simply said I could pop it in tomorrow (I go there often as it’s the only shop in the village). Sometimes a simple act of trust is so much more than the price.

Walking in Cardiff and coming across a sweet view—my favourite were flying saucers and fizzy cola-bottles… yours?

Beautiful.

My application letter to howies to attend their DO lectures event. Each ‘cut-out’ word represents the feelings and flavour I get from this great company:

• LOVE
• CHALLENGE
• ETHICAL
• INSPIRATION
• GOOD
• KNOWLEDGE

I’ve never been one for birfdays. Send me a card if you want/must and I’ll be more than grateful. Although these home-made shortbread men was such a nice and heartfelt touch—thank you Shazia.

One of these cool cats is my Dad. Taken mid/late sixties, my Dad was a skin basher in this and many other bands for the next fifteen years. It’s my new wallpaper on my laptop.

…a hug I once gave / received…

“What’s New?” is an interesting and broadening eternal question, but one which, if pursued exclusively, results only in an endless parade of trivia and fashion, the silt of tomorrow. I would like, instead, to be concerned with the question “What is best?,” a question which cuts deeply rather than broadly, a question whose answers tend to move the silt downstream.
