Birmingham: Shit Or Not?

One of the things demanding an amount of my time recently has been trying to move. This activity has actually become an enduring theme in my life in recent years—and I still haven’t managed it. I don’t live in Birmingham per se. I live in a small town about 15 miles North. I’ve spent a large chunk of my life in this town variously. I’ve escaped a couple of times and somehow been sucked back in. As much as I hate this place (the small town), I’m sure it’s at least a bit unfair to aim that hatred at Birmingham as such.

I’ve even been looking for a place in Brum. But I have a few technical hurdles, let’s say, and being a dog owner happens to be one of them. Poor old Fred.

Hard Luck City

Just slightly longer than a couple of days since my last posting, but hey, after leaving it for six months, this is quite punctual.

I’ve been busy since moving site to new server, tweaking and revising. Special emphasis on the Portfolio (go look)—the visual sections are now slideshows. And much more up-to-date. It’s easier to maintain & update for me, too. So I’m pretty happy about that.

Well, anyhow—one of the things I’ve been doing is working on a book! Those of you, if there are any, who’ve been visiting for aeons and have an obsessively long memory might recall me talking about Hard Luck City before. You can buy it NOW on Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Pushing Ahead…

Well, the whole damn world’s posted about it already now, but I need to hammer it home anyway. I’ve just about stopped reeling. Mr D Bowie celebrated his 66th birthday today with the release of his first single for aeons and an album coming in March—his first since Reality in September 2003.
