Welcome, welcome. My name's David Charles and I blog about the world of ideas and adventures. I also write and publish pay what you want books of slow travel. Enjoy.

(Just About) Portable Standing Desk

After a few months of breaking my back at the kitchen table, I’ve invested in a ruddy great clamp for my laptop. I can now stand and work wherever I please!

I'm up and running!

I’ve had this blog since 2004, would you believe? In that time I’ve mucked around with various platforms, including

PmWiki 2004-2006
Joomla CMS ~2006
Blogger 2006-2010
Wordpress 2010-2017

No Shampoo

I haven’t used shampoo or conditioner on my hair for 3 months. (Or body wash, shower gel or anything other than soap to clean the rest of me!)
