About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

Temp as in Temporary
Haven’t written much about work at the depot this last couple of weeks, mainly because it’s been very dull indeed. Due to the shifts I very rarely see my housmates and when I do it’s about 11pm and they’re ready … Continue reading

Third week at the courier depot completed. Physical state: tired, not wrecked like last time but certainly not godlike. Slight twinge in my back but nothing serious (touch wood). Cycled two days out of five this week, partly to avoid … Continue reading
