12 mile walk from Dorking to Guildford
This was the second time this year that I walked from Dorking to Guildford, mainly along the North Downs Way. It’s essentially uphill for the first half and then downhill for the second half. A surprising treat at the end was the stunning view overlooking Pewley Down, which is well worth a revisit. I bumped into an American family on the walk who were from Boston and living in the UK for three years. They were loving our weather! I entered the centre of Guildford via a very narrow alleyway – I think there may be a lot more to Guildford than the main streets!

Fabulous February snow!
What a treat. Lots and lots of snow and maybe more to come.

My worst job
The worst job I ever had was working in a supermarket meat and cheese department. It was OK cutting and packing the cheese. It was OK packing the cuts of meat. What wasn’t OK was having to scrub the walk-in freezer floor with a wire-brush in order to remove congealed blood! Bloody cold!!

My first computer
The first computer I came upon was an IBM 1130. I had dropped out of studying A-Level physics and was required to fill my time at college with something else. I don’t remember how I came to be sitting in on a computing course, but eventually it lead to a career in computing.The IBM 1130 had lots of lights and switches though I don’t remember what purpose they served. My first attempt at trying to draw a flow-chart, the initial step required to write a computer program, was a complete failure – I totally failed to understand what was required! Undeterred, I went on to become a decent computer programmer (I think).
