An image of the shelves above my desk. Books and ideas. Photos, postcards, speakers and postage stamps. Some of the raw materials from which my nest is constructed.
Gateways to other worlds.

Welcome to this occasional blog to capture the random thoughts of an eternal student. Please enjoy my reflections on books and ideas, music, physics, linguistics, astronomy, philately etc. and feel free to throw in your own comments and ideas.

My Other Blogs…

One strand of nonsense is not enough (as no-one ever said) but there are other related sites here that each have a different focus. Please feel free to browse.

Cover Stories

This is a site which celebrates stamps, covers and postal history. It will contain selections from my various collections, the joy of snail mail, and many and various postcards that arrive through our letter box.

Green Wight Red

This is a site which captures updates on the annual parade of Fantasy Road Cycling Grand Tours. This began as a competition amongst colleagues, but was extended to welcome friends, family and others equally transfixed by the elite peloton. It is based upon a fantasy cycling site called velogames. Participants voluntarily submit to my unhelpful commentary which is easily distracted by flags.
