The observent among you will have noticed a stuff up in the last entry.. of course $670 is nearer 380 pounds on it’s own, putting the total cost up to 510 pounds. The reason for this error? Well, when I first checked the website, said camera was listed at $485, which was the figure I […]

Very sad day – had to wear my coat on the journey into work because of coldness for the first time in ages. Obviously there’s been rain, but this morning was distinctly too nippy to just be in shirt sleeves. Won’t be long before the central heating goes back on after its summer break! A […]

Middle age has set in. It’s Friday evening, and what am I doing? Eating an M&S Cantonese takeaway and watching Gardener’s World with the missus. But it’s ok – tommorow’s excitement is going out food shopping! 🙂

So much to say, so little time. Spent yesterday in London at my Dad’s funeral (which was actually a lovely service, and huge numbers of people turned up to pay their respects, which was nice). I do find travelling by train very civilised, even if they have stuffed up Kings Cross tube station while they […]

OO – just found out there is a second season of Tru Calling! The website what I looked at only had about 5 episodes listed, so I guess it’s only just started airing in the states… Sky have got nothing to say about it yet, so I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

Phew – made it through The Return of the King. Got the DVD from the library, and watched it over three sessions. Was getting into it by the time they finally got rid of that ‘ol ring, but, just like the first one, I was relieved when it was finally over. Perversely, I find myself […]

I guess I shouldn’t really be surprised that I haven’t had the time to write anything, but I’ve written lots of entries in my head that were stunning and sparkling in their humour and insight.. but I’ve forgotten what they were now, so it’s back to the usual drudge. I should mention that that last […]

Just an entry in loving memory of my Dad, who passed away this morning, after a prolonged illness from cancer. He taught and inspired me to think technically, to try (almost) anything once, and to do absolutely everything to the best of one’s ability. Rest in peace. He has gone home.

Phew-ee – babies are hard work, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Ben has been having trial days at nursery, and so picked up the expected cold, so has a very runny nose. His upper central and lateral incisors are also coming through, which has turned him into a total grump for the last […]

Oh yes, saw Lost in Translation too over the weekend. What a strange film, in a vaugely endearing way. Thing that most surprised me was how un-glamorous Scarlett Johansson is in it. I’ve not seen her in anything else, so have no baseline comparison, but her looks weren’t really what I was expecting. Will consider […]
