Sister-in-law's birthday today, heading over there to see her & her 2 little boys. Then on to Arundel to visit some antique shops & castle.

At walking with dinosaurs at wembley. Son1 & son2 are pretty scared, but can't look away. Son1 terrified surprisingly! They love it really.

Can't help but laugh at all the people heading to Cornwall this bank holiday weekend. All the good weather is everywhere else (as usual).

My 2nd work award trophy came today. As cynical as I am, I do love getting awards :o) I'm v lucky to work for a great company who value me

... well that was traumatic

Heading into London today with Dad & the boys, visiting the museums. Testing Son2's reaction to the big T-Rex before walking with dinosaurs

Off work 'til wednesday, in Woking with Dad, revamping my t-shirt draw, damn those moths! Buying kids toys again :P

Scientists close to creating a man-made bacteria, I saw this movie, cut to ending - humanity dies http://budurl.com/rkzc

Reading about plasma, amazing stuff. I will never look at my plasma ball in the same way again.

Microsoft photoshop out black person, must be the worst decision made by a marketing person EVER! http://ping.fm/F8tHK

Good one of Son3 looking concerned http://ping.fm/mi2Be

Really looking forward to seeing Dad tomorrow night.

Neighbours still hate us it seems. More complaints over the fence this evening about children playing in the garden at 6pm "on a week night"

Hazy turned to cloudy then back to bright sunshine, heading home now, nice to see the sea once in a while.

Off work today. Enjoying the hazy sunshine in Littlehampton with the family.

Exhausted, polished the old volvo 3 times this morning, played in the garden, bbq with friends & family, just finished zombie killing. Zzzzz

High Speed Robot Hand, this is scary, humanity is screwed - http://ping.fm/MCsMR

Watching a documentary on Stiff Records, how the hell is Shane MacGowan still alive? Seriously?

Damn.. how did I miss this! http://ping.fm/kies7

Asked my other half if she thought I was good on the Ukulele, cue longest pause in history of our relationship. Hmmm.

Can't wait to see Dad next week, he's flying up to visit. 5hrs by car, 6.5hrs by train or 1 hour of exhilarating flying. No contest.

Driving home, the new car started asking me questions & responding to my bemused answers! Seems dealer didn't know it had voice recognition!

I am all giddy with anticipation. Like a kid on Christmas eve. I WANT MY CAR NOW!

My brain said Diesel but my heart said Petrol. Just bought a S-Max 2.5T Titanium, collecting tomorrow. It's sooooo fast!

Registering Son3 in 15 minutes

Playing Left 4 Dead with the boys tonight. Tried explaining online virtual reality gaming to son1, he is interested, a geek like me.

Another fruitless morning searching for the perfect car, which I am beginning to think doesn't exist.

Feeling really happy for my sister-in-law who had her second son yesterday. Can't wait to meet him.

All I want is a 2007 Ford S-Max Titanium 2.0 or 2.2 TDCi <30K Miles with a Sun Roof and I don't want it in BLOODY SILVER! DAMN IT!

Looked at a Ford S-Max yesterday. Loved it. Came home, talked to OH, went back to buy it. Some other bugger bought it. Recession my arse :(

Watching ukulele orchestra of great Britain, they f@#king rock and i am not being ironic

At camra beer festival, earls court, london. Great fun! Getting pissed.

Can't believe how many kids are running around my house! Not complaining, I have a lot of work but I still love the sound of them having fun

Ukulele practice at Darren's was good. Got a few more tunes down. Expecting a major record label to call soon.

"Free" NightVision Goggles with COD MW2. I sincerely hope they make the high-pitched escalating "peeeeeeee" noise when you turn them on.

Back at work, catching up with a monstrous backlog. Not much time for updates at the moment.... Apart from this one.

If houses could dream... http://ping.fm/Bl1k2

Found an injured bird, tried to nurse it back to health. Here is the video diary of how that worked out http://ping.fm/heDYQ

Been picking blackberries with the boys. Soon we will make blackberry crumble. This is why I gain weight in the Summer.
