Day 2

9:34am Ended up going to bed early last night, feeling a bit rough and irritable. Much better today, though. The restlessness is quite annoying – before, if I was waiting for a job to finish or waiting for a kettle to boil or something, I’d go out and smoke. Now I just hover and fidget

Day 1

9:44 am Or thereabouts. So, I’ve been up and smober for a couple of hours now and nothing seems to have dropped off yet. Last cigarette was at about 10pm last night so that’s nearly 12 hours (although counting sleeping hours is probably cheating). Doing alright though – I have the kind of empty, hungry

Day 0

Why is it that stopping smoking is so difficult? I man, really – let’s have a think about it. It tastes horrible. It’s expensive. It makes you cough. It halves your life expectancy. It gives lots of revenue to the gubbermint. So really, it does nothing for you! So what is there to give up?

Welcome To……..

Silent Hill. OK, so I got up this morning and ambled about the house as is my wont. After the last few days of sunshine and barbeques I was a bit surprised to see….nothing. The whole place is wreathed in thick, roiling fog – thickest I’ve seen in ages. Visibility in our street is only

Dewey’s Adventure (Wii)

Dewey’s Adventure is just lovely. It’s hard to imagine a cuter game ever existing. Basically, you’re a little blob of water who bottom-scrapes around the place rescuing little cute things from big evil cute things. You can transform into a little cute icy thing for doing cute melee attacks and a little gaseous cloud for

Changes are Afoot

Don’t see much point in continuing to run $hlmun of web sites – a bit daft really. So www.nelefa.org, www.chewbury.net and a’ the bad yins are now collected together under the mighty umbrella of The Temple Of Bague. So there.

Trying out a new posting tool.

OK, so posting via the web interface is nice and all, but sometimes I just want to fire off a quick thought with the minimum of effort. Firing up Firefox on these occasions is too much like hard work so I thought I’d look for something slimmer. At the moment, I’m posting via a nice
