19 Oct 11 Bridgewood just got bigger!

I got hold of one of the official registrations of Bridgewood today, and it includes the area. I'd done this myself using my own GPS mapping in the past and got 19 acres, but I'd just put a straight line for one of the boundaries that has lots of kinks. When they calculate it properly, it's really 20 acres! So, Bridgewood: bigger and kinkier than I'd thought

6 Oct 11 Steve Jobs

I fell in love with computers themselves again thanks to him. What an outstanding life: Apple, then seeing the potential of Xerox PARC's work and building the Lisa and the Mac, NeXT, PIXAR, then Apple again, and the flood of changes to our lives flowing from his return.

3 Oct 11 Lying Daily Mail story about Knox and Sollecito

The lying Daily Heil put up their "appeal failed" story at 8:50pm by mistake, a minute or two after the "appeal succeeded" verdict was announced. You can see how much they make up just from reading this. They're touting their other version of course now. I've highlighted the outright lies and inventions about things that obviously didn't happen tonight in bold. [more...]

2 Oct 11 October's event day

We'd been planning October's event day on Saturday as end of season special for a couple of months now. Given the usual October weather, we tried to think of activities good for keeping warm

This week's heatwave made all that a bit academic, but we had a great time. [more...]

28 Sep 11 GLLA Workshops

Last month @mia and I went to the GLLA ("Great Lakes Leather Alliance") weekend in Indianapolis after our week in New York. GLLA is one of several regional leather conventions across that have M/s contests, and I blogged about this part last time. Now I'm going to write a bit about the workshops. [more...]

25 Sep 11 ... and the kitchen sink

Last month I installed a wood burning stove in the Log Cabin at Bridgewood, and mia used it for cooking and making tea at September's event day. I also put a shelf in for bags, with a small bookcase on the wall above it near the noticeboard. Yesterday, I finished the "utility" corner of the cabin by fitting a kitchen sink. [more...]

20 Sep 11 GLLA & the Great Lakes M/s Contest in Indianapolis

Last month @mia and I went to the GLLA ("Great Lakes Leather Alliance") weekend in Indianapolis after our week in New York. GLLA is a one of several regional leather conventions in the US that have an M/s strand, and it covers the area to the west of the Master/slave Conference in Washingon that I went to in 2007. Both events are very different to what we do in the UK, although the substance of people's BDSM and relationships are quite similar. [more...]

17 Sep 11 'The Warehouse', 26th Nov 2011

I've started a thread on IC about this afternoon peer workshop in Birmingham for BDSM activities that normally need outdoor space. When Bridgewood closes for the winter, this is a chance to carry on doing things indoors

11 Sep 11 Trolllllllllllll!!!!!!!! (... Hunter)

I saw Troll Hunter on Friday and thought it was pretty good

Suspenseful in the woodland hunting scenes and funny in other places. It's also a great advert for the dramatic scenery of Norway. [more...]

11 Sep 11 Fem Sub Social Club

@mia, @secretsmile_101 and I went to the first Fem Sub Social Club in Birmingham last night, and it turned out to be a very well run event with a great atmosphere. It was also our first visit to the amazing Exodus venue. [more...]
