    I’m watching “House of Wax”, and as usual I’m rooting for the killers. It must be my age, but the kids in these films annoy the hell out of me. They’re rich, sexy, sex-focused, moronic, insensitive, stereotyped, serial-killer-fodder. I’m just glad the secretive nutters that prey on them keep coming up with new and interesting…

    I’m working from home for a few days this week (I’m supposed to be taking holiday, so this is maybe a compromise) to spend more time with Kim and Jack. This is what they do on rainy days – they make plasticine BMW’s.

    Burying Jack on the beach. Fishing with Kim for bass. Building sand castles. Saw this in the car park. Religion *and* a sense of humour?

    Some of you may remember this frameset. It just got rebuilt with a new Campag Mirage groupset and Campag Khamsin wheels for a cheap revamp to become a training bike. It’s a steel 853 frame, and it’s heavy, but so am I. This is about as clean as it will ever be, as I’m about…

    Today we went to Bristol Zoo. It was rather good. The lions even woke up and roared for us as we were about to leave.

    I’ve been picking up the triathlon training over the last 5 or 6 weeks. You may remember that I was getting very bored, so starting running again seemed like a good idea. My various injuries seem to be staying down so far, and running is good. Swimming and cycling have been picking up too, and…

    Running around on the climbing frame. Jack’s skeleton costume. Really heavy rain showers in Swindon. Building big cranes with Dad. In the stocks.

    I’m a little slow to catch up, because I’ve been involved in a number of things recently, but I’ve been reading up on Floyd Landis’ failed drug test. If you haven’t heard, the winner of this year’s Tour de France failed a test for testosterone levels after his stage win that put him back within…
