My friend Anne is here for the day, we're going out shortly to have dinner to celebrate my becoming an old codger officially - I now get free prescriptions - whoopie doo!

When I visit this site, there's a T in a blue box at the bottom right hand of my screen, like a google thing but it doesn't say google; plus I get little windows asking me to complete questionnaires.

As we drift towards 1900, I suppose it's apposite for me to enquire as to whether my readers want me to continue the saga, assuming Erin is happy to continue filling up her servers with my nonsense.

The last of Juliet Jacques' blogs about her transgender journey as posted on the Guardian website, in this she considers whether her surgery was worth it and reflects on her four year voyage of discov

This article is on the Guardian website and in the newspaper, the comments are interesting too, according to one commenter transsexuals just can't cope with reality - I was pleased to see they got sho

A story from the US featured in the Daily Wail, it's handled fairly sensitively: I hope the link works.

This article is quite interesting in that some of it applies to us as well. See what you think.

I have a busy day ahead of me, our cycling club has its AGM this morning and guess who's secretary? Hopefully, I've prepared for everything except the unexpected.

The dresser, what else did you think I meant?

Sorry folks, life has got in the way of my plans yet again.

The evidence seems to be stacking up against the former champion cyclist, as a cheat and a serial doper, although anything Tyler Hamilton said I would dismiss as coming from the mouth of a real slime

So haven't had time to write tonight, will try and do better tomorrow. Been out looking at fossils at Lyme Regis with a friend. Added an Orthoceras to my collection.

A fascinating radio documentary about being gay and being in prison in the UK, presented by Stephen Fry on Radio 4.

Or is BC running slower than ever. It's like dial up.

Life is what happens in between making plans and actualising them.

Sorry, some life issues have taken away my energy tonight, as well as too much work and not enough play. Too tired to write, off to bed for an early night with a good book.

Bullied transsexual student takes own life, possibly by accident.

It was rather nice to see the Sharing, Caring Sun, actually treated this story quite sympathetically.

Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe responds to anti gay marriage Maryland politician. The Guardian gives a link in the blog to the full letter, forthright doesn't quite do it justice.

I know bikes get stolen regularly, but surely this hasn't happened to my latest episode has it? I posted it last night and when I went to bed it was still there - this morning - gone.

Anyone who knows of its whereabouts please let me know.

Sorry nodded off in the chair and it's too late now. I also have a visitor and will be out tomorrow evening listening to a concert by the Cologne chamber philhamonia. No, I'm not off to Germany, they're coming here to Dorchester.

I'm off to bed, normal service will be resumed when I wake up, I hope (yawns).

Few can be unaware of the events in Russia where a trio of young women have been arrested and tried for the most specious of charges. They have acknowledged and apologised to those who were offended by their demonstration in the cathedral which upset the primate of the Russian Orthodox church so much, but I suspect not because of what they did but because they dared to do it at all.

Some authors play down the number of kudos they receive - they're not important or indicate anything.

I disagree, I enjoy everyone of them that you the readers give my efforts and just now they reached the magical figure of 77777.

Thank you to all of you who contributed.

When I sit down and think about it, it strikes me as completely absurd that I'm still writing a story which was intended to last a few episodes, and is now just about twenty away from 1800. Five years ago if someone had asked me if I'd be able to do another twenty episodes, I'd have been far from confident about saying I could - now, it's taken for granted I will - both by readers and I suppose myself, as well.

Sorry there was no Bike last night, I've been having internet connection problems. Hopefully this has been sorted now and normal service will be resumed tonight.

Whether you liked his writing or his opinions, you have to agree he was a giant in the cultural and political life of America and of course the author of Myra Breckenridge.

An article in the Guardian about the Alliance School in Wisconsin showing the change in trends in the US in the last twenty or thirty years. I believe they'll have banks there soon :)
