    Did You Miss Any Of These? Monthly Round Up July 2025

    We’re still in the UK escaping Schengen, but have booked our ferries to France and Morocco.

We depart these fair shores on the 7th August, so watch out for…

  • A black and white shot of Tom Lehrer with a piano as he performed in Copenhagen in 1967

    A Tribute to Tom Lehrer: The Wit Who Inspired Generations (Including Me and My Dad

    I’m so sorry to hear that a great hero of mine, Tom Lehrer, died today, aged 97. There are wordsmiths, and then there’s Tom Lehrer.

Although we did all kinds of sampling, testing, and chemical analysis for clients, our final product was a written report. It grieved me, therefore, when I received speculative job applications from highly qualified science graduates, crafted in barely literate English,…

We’re currently in the UK escaping Schengen, as well as catching up with friends and inter-trip administration, such as doctors, dentists, vet visits (for the dogs!), truck maintenance, and applying for a Schengen-busting French Long Stay Visa.
