11:20pm off to bed, pick up the korg kaossilator BAM it's midnight & I have a string of unreleased classic trance tracks
Sitting in my home office with the air con blasting away, windows shut, blind drawn. HOT!

Putting up shelves in the garage. OH on a an ice lolly run (her craving). Hot today. Been in the garden most of it.
OH rested & feeling much better. Back from town. Got a big metal spinning see-saw for 9 quid! Unreal! Kids are on it now
Other half woke up at 3:30am & couldnt get back to sleep. Trying to think of activity to get kids & me out of the house.

BBC News "World Mourns Pop Legend Jackson" Again the hysterical minority, over-represented by media, isolate the emotionally stable majority
Poor OH, she is doing such a great job but it is really difficult managing 2 kids and a big bump. I shouldn't moan about my workload.
5th wedding anniversary today. Although I didn't know that when I woke up. Luckily OH forgot too, so a quick run to shop fixed everything!

So, Michael Jackson is dead. Just watched "Knowing" & "Fanboys", both quite good. Right, off to bed.
Can't wait for Kaossilator to arrive. Although I won't have a chance to play until tonight. Too much work. OH is doing fine, any day now! XD

Pub quiz result. Team "knackered dads" result fifth out of 5 teams. No prize. Only 4 bottles of wine this week. Not even a win by default.
Ordered Korg Kaossilator. 1 step closer to my dream; teaming up with Darren on Ukulele to tap into the George Formby/Folk/Electronica market
At son1's school for his final pre-start visit. I'm quite nervous for some reason. He's fine. Loves it. Would probably live here if he could

Realised, I'm only happy if I am busy. Which might explain the 2.9 kids. Everything is hitting me at once currently. Early to bed all week.

At a bbq/house warming/birthday party thing. Under tumulous skies. Being attacked by kids on a bouncy castle. Great fun. Pretty tired.

Sitting in a Valletta in cafe. Day 2 of business trip. Heading to airport 4 home soon. Uncomfortably hot. Putting world to rights with Andy.
Bored business travellers. After a morning shower write message of doom on foggy mirror with hair gel. Reappears for next guest!

Stepping off the plane in Malta, the air hits you like a hot towel (not that you would ever see one of those on a easyjet flight)
Everytime I fly (sl) Easyjet I regret it. Malta flight waiting at gate because they failed to organise a tug to push the plane out. Idiots!!
In taxi to airport. Visiting Malta on business. Back tomorrow. I always get nerves but this time I'm more worried about baby coming early :(

Wednesday, June 17, 2009

Stressful day running around trying to get my PC fixed. IT were stars. Family made me a cake & special dinner + pressies! Good day after all
My birthday today. Family are being lovely. Sadly virus on PC means whole day sitting with IT. 3am start tomorrow, business trip Malta :(

Just gave OH a SONY CP-1 internet photo frame, she loves it. Hope she has time to look at it.
Just baited a non-lethal rat trap. Lady next door likes to feed the birds, I haven't the heart to tell her about the rats she is attracting.

Watching Valkyrie a WWII story about an attempted assassination of Hitler. Good, only spoiled by the surreal casting. Tom Cruise, come on!

Sunday, June 14, 2009

Watching "Australia" with Clint Eastwood... sorry.. Hugh Jackman. I get confused. It is quite good so far. OH says it is "OK".
Having a last minute BBQ, fantastic day, lovely weather. Train rides with DGD&L were fun. Watching kids in the paddling pool right now.
Currently riding on a minature railway train at Mizens.

No luck finding a kaossilator today. OH made lovely chicken salad w. vegetables from A&G's garden. Roomba is clearing up. OH zonked on sofa
On the park&ride bus into town with the Family. Lunch & window shopping, maybe even real shopping for a KORG Kaossilator
I love Kids by MGMT. But as a father the music video is so abhorrent to me. I hope this was green screened http://ping.fm/hVAEx

"OH" sent me on ANOTHER ice cream run ;)
Hard week. I love to be busy, can't stand being bored (I, like nature, abhor a vacuum). Anyway TGIF, almost said TFIF but no call for that.
Bought Penny her belated Birthday Present (number 2). I am not usually this bad, but this one took a lot of research. Finally got it :)

Thursday, June 11, 2009

Anyone know where I can get a Korg Kaossilator for a good price in the UK? (It is a birthday present to me)
My Bro-in-law got onto a fast track promotion program today! Well done mate! Hardest working guy I know.
Played Battleforge with Gary instead of watching England beat Andorra 6-0. So geeky I'm cool? I like to think so. In all honesty I forgot :(

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Always listen to hear the kids breathing before I can sleep. Son2 I can hear from the landing. Son1 is only audible 2" from his face. :)

Did a bit of haggling with Virgin Media, got a 50Mbit broadband upgrade, no contention ratio, a completely unmanaged line. Pretty cool

Hey you scientist types! Stop curing diseases & cloning sheep, just answer me this; Why does hot orange squash make you cough?
Looks like I got my wish, held out long enough for my family to recover from their colds. Now I have the man version of it. Feel awful.

Tumulous skies yesterday & blazing sun / icy storms today. Clearing attic, shed & garage today. Trying to get all the cr

Son1, 4.5yrs, borrowed my SLR & mingled taking photos. Then walked up to a table of 12 shouting "I took a picture of that lady's bottom" :o
Well, the wedding is great. Dull weather, but lots of booze, a hog roast and a live band. Great stuff.
Off to a cousin-in-law's wedding reception this afternoon. Raining out :( Kids have been a bit snotty and wife not feeling 100% ah well! :)

I REALLY NEED more Baby Name suggestions! 1 month to go and nothing has made (my) list yet! Please Please Retweet
Took Son1 on a visit to his new school today. He loved it running around, getting in the drawers, sketching dinosaurs on the PC. Relieved :)
In pain again from my manliness training at Darren's house. Weight lifting, Beer & UFC. In pain again. Starting to see a difference already!
I ask you, is there anything better than a rubarb & custard boiled sweet on a Friday afternoon. Ahh, simple pleasures.
Oi! Online Grocery Home Deliver Stores - give me free delivery and I might start using your service. £8.95 a month! Bloody rip off Britain.

I'm disapponted, no protest vote parties represented in my area. Investigating standing for Monster Raving Loony Party next time. Seriously.

Hot then muggy day today. Geez - I am turning into a weather forecaster. More interesting updates soon I promise.
Like telecom company, middle management, non-fiction? YES?! Then "Sent from Overseas" is for you http://ping.fm/KYNLP
