The headwind [...]

A fresh tasting change
I thought I’d write something a little different to my normal as I start updating my site. Toothpaste. I’m going to talk about toothpaste.
Why? Well, it’s different, but I have to also confess to having been a loyal Sensodyne user - used to have sensitive teeth, but not anymore. When I say loyal, I’ve probably [...]

8 little things about Gregory Brine
I was tagged by Cheb 2.0 to write 8 little things about me. The meme is basically defined with the following rules: Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
