Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Volunteering
A number of work colleagues and myself volunteered for the day to help the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust manage an area of woodland to the East of Salisbury.
Spell Check Fail
While cuing up a record in the studio this evening I noticed a rather amusing spelling error alongside a date that could adversely affect the condition of my vinyl!

Man Over-Board Drill
While moored at Cowes on the Isle of Wight a crew member fancied a swim so while we were at it we tried out the man over-board drillAlton Towers
Shweta and I took a day trip to Alton Towers over the weekend. Loads of new rides since I went last and we both had a fantastic time!
Beer & Jazz
While drinking ale and jiving to some enjoyable jazz funk live music I observe Matt and Oli getting into the festival spirit!
Commit No Nuisance
A traditional, reserved and respectful notice on an old door in a respectable British city. Shame the local youth in St Albans no longer pay attention to their surroundings!
Warming Up
After a cold and wet day of sight seeing, stopping for afternoon tea in a cafe boasting an open fire was just the ticket.
Spam Insight
I read a brief but interesting article on the Akismet blog today offering an insight into the current state of web based spam.
While Akismet isn’t a blocking service I personally feel that the large IP ranges identified by the article as solely in use by spammers could do with being blocked.
Sunday in London
On Sunday I met up with Shweta in London to visit the Michelangelo’s Dream exhibition being hosted at Somerset house in Aldwych. Featured were a number of his paintings but the gallery was populated in the most part by his sketches which showed a fascinating insight into how he composed his works and also the lengths to which others have gone to create copies.
The gallery visit was followed by a wander round the streets of London and afternoon tea at St James Restaurant on the fourth floor of Fortnum & Mason.
The photo of Shweta was taken on the terrace at Somerset house looking out over the Thames and the second photo features the back of Somerset house taken again from the terrace.
