Nombreuse en citoyens, superbe en bâtiments;
Et j'en crois merveilleux les divertissements.
Ils ont en ce pays de quoi se contenter.
I found a lost bicycle in Grangetown, Cardiff (photo). If it is yours, call me and tell me where and when you lost it, and what picture is on the handbell.

I lived in Paris last year, and still spend a lot of time there. Several people encouraged me to chronicle the various performances I attended in 2009 and in 2010, so I'm working on that.
I go to the opera frequently. If you don't yet realize that you like opera, check out my list of operas you will like.
I ran the 2010 Bristol Half Marathon, and finished with a time of 2:04:44. In 2011 I plan to run the Bristol and Cardiff half marathons.
To prepare for the half marathon, I went for a long run once a week. I've mapped some of my longer runs using MapMyRun.com:

S 7/17 That's the way they do it
S 7/24 My usual run to Pill
F 7/30 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Th 8/05 Strawberry Fields

You can also see where I went running in 2009.
I have been posting photos on facebook. Here are the public links, so that even without a facebook account(!?!) you can see my neighbourhood in winter, my neighbourhood in spring, some displays and some student murals at the Ecole Polytechnique, and my friend Adam Charlesworth standing beside a famous tower.
I am the fourth person to translate George Perec's novel La Disparition into English. As my translation isn't published, I can't link to it here, although I may add a short extract later. In the meantime, here are some rather silly translations of pop songs I did for fun.
