2008-09-01UTC05:32:34The plot of a Christopher Brookmyre bookOK so this story doesn't have a plot that we know of so far, but each bit of information that's eeked out of nowhere by the press leads the imagination in different directions, like a good book. Of course, this is not a book, these are people's lives... 2008-07-03UTC12:45:09Lost!Not Lost the TV show, I haven't actually thought about that since watching the fairly rubbish end of series four and writing that subject line.

We got the bus to Canterbury and the GPS was turned off on the bus so the whole route isn't plotted, still playing about with my mapping. Just posted some photos of our walk to Capel ... 2007-12-31UTC09:52:02Been quiet for a few daysNo I've not been out on the larry-large every day over christmas, been a bit under the weather actually, though that's not what's kept me off the computer.
