My Needle is All a-Quiver!
I weighed myself in the gym yesterday - a rare conceit, but made safe by my Well Man check-up last week where I was told I'm spot-on for my height, if slightly under - and I noticed that the needle (yes, it was an old-fashioned, non-digital one) twitched in time with my heartbeat. What's the physics...

Mixing With the Stars
I went to Croft Park on Sunday to watch a round of the British Superbike Championship. I've always loved motor racing since I was a kid, and bikes have always been my real passion, ever since dad used to take me to local scambles and, once a year, to Olivers Mount, near Scarborough. This is a lovely...

Tears & Teams
T burst into tears this morning. That's so unlike her! She said she felt useless, unable to do anything right, and worried about her empty bank accounts. Poor little soul. She was doing alright when she met me, financially at least. Now she's jobless, broke, and pregnant. For 99% of the time she...

Did the River Dry Up?
Has it really been 24 days since I was last here? Well, HUGE apologies to all FITROL fans before I go any further! Life has not gotten any slower in recent weeks, that's for sure. On to a general update. T is well and showing her little bump very early - there could be two in there! She's sleeping...

Hail, Bluebells & Evensong
We've been having quite a lot of hail storms around here over the last few days. One night, it was heavy enough to set the car alarm off in the pub car park, which meant I had to trail out there under a barrage of ice-lumps to switch the damn thing off. I got caught yesterday, too. I went for a long...

A First Step
My goodness! Five days ago I announce we are expecting our first baby (and many thanks for all your lovely comments and thoughts), and now I'm going to tell you about his first step?? No, not exactly. nature doesn't work quite that fast. This is about a first step for me - a step into political...

A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!
What's this? Surely Damon Leigh isn't finally sinking to those low, low places where bloggers dream up some minor thing and make it into a Big Announcement, just to get more clicks? Worse, surely he's not going down the "I'm leaving Blogit - no, really I am" route for similar reasons? No. I'm not....

Several Posts For the Price of One!
This could be the longest gap in the history of this blog, and to all my loyal and long-standing readers who have watched as I've slipped away off the bottom of the screen whenever they bring up their favourites list, I apologise. I can't promise it won't happen again, as I'm in the process of...

I Have No Deadlines, And It's Weird!!
I can't quite believe it, and neither can my brain! After working more or less non-stop this year, with barely a day off, I'm actually looking at a relatively quiet week. I must admit, I didn't do much over the weekend, which was partly down to the lousy weather. On Monday it was so bad that, apart...

Hell Bent, Hell Bent for Leather
Do the names K.K.Downing, Glenn Tipton or Rob Halford mean anything to you? How about Klaus Meine, Herman Rarebell or Matthias Jabs? If not, the following may not mean a hell of a lot to you. You see, on Sunday, T & I went into Newcastle to see a double-header rock concert - a real blast from the...
