Things to see

What's this?

This blog is where Matthew shares the nitty-gritty of what life is about, whether it be the optimal shade of tea, a review of a newly-released film, a passionate expose of theological doctrine, or just a rant about whatever is topical.

None of this blog should be taken seriously, unless otherwise indicated. The events described here and their real-life counterparts probably wouldn't get on at a party, so don't expect them to correlate easily.

I like to move in, move in

Today I have done no work whatsoever.  At least, not of the web design kind anyway.  Today has been almost entirely devoted to moving house, which has proven to be an exciting yet tiring experience (I’m not the only one moving, it seems – Phill and Phil recently finalised their contract and have a shiny new house to move into, but they’ve done it the scary way and got a mortgage).  First thing this morning I was up and ready to collect a van I’d hired for the day.  Not a huge enormous thing, just a short wheel base Transit van, but it was plenty for our needs.  It was very different to driving a Mini though, as you’d expect – it was higher, longer, wider, slower.  I was surprised how quickly I got used to it though, using the diesel engine slightly differently and even managing to successfully reverse into a drive using only my mirrors!
