    The birds were catching more fish than we were, but at least we could see we were in the right place. Is summer here at last?

    Looks like the remains of a torture scene, doesn’t it? I had a bit of an accident with a hook. I got a treble from a large plug embedded deep in my finger, up to the bend, and the barb had grabbed the flesh rather tightly. It came out of my finger eventually after much…

    I’ve got photos all over the web. They’re on my website, on Jack’s website, on Flickr, and on Facebook. I’ve held back against Flickr and Facebook for a long time because of my desire to keep things simple and in one place, but Flickr is just so simple and cool for sharing with a limited…

    After headlining the affects of Friday afternoon skiving on the British economy, the BBC website today asks, “Got the Monday blues?” and offers “Another stressful week on the coalface to get through?
