Lately...
This has been a bit quiet. Mainly down to me being busy. We had a stag for a friend. Which was possibly nicer than is actually decent for such things. Great weekend.
As part of work I have to go to Brussels which is cool because it'll look cool on the CV and I have to do a workshop. Hopefully I will fall into character and not freeze up. It's all shit I know inside out, so shouldn't be an issue.
Been reading more. Philip K Dick has been the focus. Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said; Radio Free Albemuth was very good. Cosmic Puppets was less PKD than any other stuff that I have previously read, more thriller. Slightly Stephen King (pre-dates massively). Now on The Divine Invasion, which is good.
Bikes have gone mad. I now have my Cove Stiffee with 150 mm Marzocchi forks which I got for £100.
I got a cheap medium sized GT Avalanche frame to replace the small that I had been running with since 2009. All the bits were transferred and it has the Manitou 100 mm R7 fork which works perfectly. Size difference is notable, and I can see why I bought the small, but...
Road Bike is still the Specialized Tricross Sport. Lovely bike, needs a good servicing. I'll do it.
Off to Brussels on Sunday, have a major project coming online shortly, and another in the offing that I hope to see to completion. Really enjoying my job just now. It isn't easy, and sometimes frustrating. Ultimately good.
Pictures coming soon.

Crikey, you have been busy haven't you?
PKD is awesome. One of my favourite authors. The one book which I was mildly dissapointed with is The Man in the High Castle. It's good, but it's the least PKD-ish PKD book I've ever read. Saying that, it IS a good book in its own right.
