But while there's a job to be done, those of us that care will hang on and will pick up the pieces and will fight and sweat and will put things together again and we will … -
Back From Barcelona
Claire and I got back from Barcelona this weekend, after our short break away there with my mum and sisters. We were staying in a reasonable-sized second-floor apartment right in the middle (it was advertised as being in the "lively" district) of Barcelona: in an alleyway off a sidestreet to the famous La Ramblas.

Claire and I will be back in Aberystwyth by about 8:45pm: if you want to come over and let us bore you with video clips from our holiday and stories and whatnot, we'll feed you Toblerone and a glass or two of sangria. See you at The Flat at a quarter to nine if you …

Abnib Gallery
As you may be aware, Jon is developing the next generation of Abnib (preview - looks fab, eh?). To coincide (and integrate) with this, there's now an Abnib Gallery, to which Abnib-ettes can post photos relating to the activities of themselves with other abnib-ettes: a place to collate our photographs of the fires we have …
