Thistle City Barbican Hotel

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Tonight Matthew, I am staying in the Thistle City Barbican hotel; and my, what a shite hotel it is. I went for the Thistle City Barbican because I have learned my lessons about shite hotels. I have stayed in a couple of dives in my time; there was this one hotel I stayed in near Victoria [...]

Lighting fires and the wonders of char cloth

Sunday, June 28th, 2009
I recently decided that it would be good to have a lower dependence on mains electricity and all the benefits it brings. We suffer quite frequent power cuts in the rural area we live in, and it is only a matter of time before we run out of camping gas during one of these outages. So, [...]

Belly Button Ring Basics - How to Care for a New Navel Piercing

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
I said a long time ago that I would find some content about piercing care, as a fair number of people were landing on this blog looking for this kind of information. I don’t like providing a dead-end user experience. So, I went looking and found an ezine article - a bit of a cop-out, [...]

So little time, so much spam.

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008
I have been so incredibly busy (and a little lazy). Fear not, I am still collecting my belly button fluff (although summer production is very low), but I have little or no time to update the blog. I can only apologise. I have tried a couple of times to get this back on track but the 2800 [...]

The joy of logs

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008
My web-log analytics are a constant source of joy and amusement to me. People search for the strangest things, and a not insignificant number of them end up pondering my navel. On the whole, the stranger search phrases people are using when they stumble into my belly button fall into the following categories… Piercing Now this isn’t altogether [...]

My absence and a drowned man at Exeter Quay

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008
Over three months of not posting! Whatever next? Don’t worry eager readers (not that I actually have any), I have been diligently collecting my belly button fluff all this time; more on that later though, I want to explain my absence and also today’s events. Firstly: Where have I been? Well, as mentioned in the last entry, I [...]

Belly Button Fluff and lazy photography

Monday, February 4th, 2008
I have a week’s backlog of belly button fluff and little time to photograph it, so I cheated… Wednesday’s fluff was a nice shade of red as I was wearing a terracotta t-shirt. Friday’s belly button was bereft of fluff. I have been doing this for a month now, so what does a month’s accumulation of belly button [...]

Belly button of the week - week 5

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008
Woops, I forgot to post this the other day. Here is Belly button of the week (week five). This picture was taken by kellyandapril on Flickr. Pregnant bellies are great and well worth cuddling. I am a little behind on the photographs at the moment. Take comfort in the fact that all lint deposits are being catalogued and [...]

No belly button fluff but free pizza

Monday, January 28th, 2008
Just to get the formalities out of the way, I had no belly button fluff yesterday. I was wearing a lose top that was not tucked in. I also got up late and slobbed around in my dressing gown until I bathed - I didn’t even get dressed until about 4pm. My poor belly button [...]

A stable stream of belly button fluff

Sunday, January 27th, 2008
It has been a long week.First there was my birthday. I mostly spent this day paying flying visits to friends and wandering around the campus of Exeter University taking long exposure pictures of moving water. In the evening I just went for a quiet drink with my wife; this was really nice. I did make [...]
