It has turned out to be a big week for the families of A Free Man and Dr. O’C. We’re spread pretty far and wide, but in a lot of ways are closer for that. Speaking for myself, I think I talk to my folks more now than I did when we lived geographically closer. [...]

No, not Christmas. Christmas can bite me. I’m talking about the time for end-of-year Top 10 lists. I love a good top 10 list and have always wanted a venue on which to present one. When I was thinking of starting a blog, and this is true, one of the things that motivated me to [...]
Will winter pull us through?
Father’s little helper and I are grateful that the weekend’s upon us. It means a brief reprieve from ten plus hour days. Here’s hoping that this weekend’s also free from flat pack furniture. Damn Swedes.
Wanted to take the chance to point you all at a band that’s been burning up my iPod this week. The [...]
This week, on The (Dr.) OC
For some time now a number of you, have been asking to hear more from the elusive Dr. O’C. She pops into the comment stream now and again with a clever commentary.

Charlotte: It’s scary.

Get it on, rider
“I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement

You knifed me in my dirty filthy basement
With that jaded faded junky nurse
Oh, what pleasant company…”

I’ve not got a lot of great photos of Sweden to share with you today because, if the truth [...]

Things are likely to be a bit quiet here at afreeman.org for the next few days. The crew (excepting dog) are off across the North Sea today for a trip to the land of moose and Malmo, of socialism and Saabs. That’s right, while most Britons are donning their sunglasses and shorts and heading for the [...]
