As friends will know, our family spent the greater part of 2017 in London last year caring for my mother-in-law, Laura, in her final illness. Marie Curie provided much respite caring help on several night a week, and I’ll be trying to show gratitude by riding for them in the Prudential RideLondon this year, and fundraising on their behalf.
I have a fundraising page at 
on behalf of Marie Curie, in memory of Laura. Please visit and donate what you can.
If you have a UK mobile number, you can also just text OUEM50 and the amount to 70070. For example, if you wanted to donate £10 to Marie Curie via my JustGiving code OUEM50, you’d text:
‘OUEM50 £10’ and send to the number 70070

After a career with several organisations, broadly in IT, I now have more time to follow physics (mainly cosmology) and mathematics again, as well as reviving my cycling, and having more time for skiing.
As I get older, I'm more relaxed about some things, and less patient with quite a few others! It seems quite random, but my interests and prejudices will show as I post more blogs, I suppose. I have used Twitter and Facebook for a while, but I have found 140 (or even 280) characters on Twitter too few to make points in a nuanced way (opinions on Twitter are VERY black and white, and sometimes downright offensive); and FaceBook, while I use it a quite a lot, isn't really a medium for debate.
So here goes with a blog, at last!
