Jeremy Beadle would have loved the ipad, on the other hand he may have preferred the iphone.

Feeling a bit low. Consultant told me my shoulder is as good as it will get. Operation is risky for minimal gain. Reassess in 6 months.

Ordered Marvel Vs Capcom 3 for the PS3. Should be good.

Watching THX1138. Really good film.

Work, Children, Friends. It takes expert juggling to have all 3. Not to mention exercise, ukulele, zombie killing. 24 hours is not enough :(

Migraine* (Completely unrelated to last update)

Wine

Not sure what's changed. My life is my nuclear family now. A strange, pervasive, permanent and weirdly comforting feeling of antisocialness.

Ah, a Sunday trip to the dump with a bootful of crap. Cathartic, frustrating and boring.

Looks like surgery is the preferred route. The good news is a pair of respected consultants will be using an advanced ACJ repair technique.

In hospital getting my ACJ injury assessed. Put up with nagging pain for rest of my life or have hit and miss operation. Rock & a hard place

Very proud of Son2 today, but personally not surprised. A glowing report from his teachers across the board. His new PC can be his reward :)

Heading home with the boys to do a spot of gardening and watch them on the trampoline.

Nice bit of folky music from Mumford & Sons, is that a uke or a banjo or both? Happy Friday. http://blip.fm/~12vclj

Spent a couple of hours looking through old photos. Feeling a bit detached, lack of sleep catching up.

Long day at work, check. Kids finally asleep, check. Argument with Mum over phone, check. Time to make dinner then maybe sit down and rest.

Sitting on the train reading "a clockwork orange" on the kindle, I love this book more than any other. Commuting isn't that bad after all.

Off to London today, commuting indeed! Going to try to makes lots of eye contact on the tube and strike up conversations, as is the custom.

Quote of the day, my wife, while putting census form in envelope - "I don't want to lick it they'll have my DNA", that's why I love her.

I have to say that center parcs longleat is spoiled by cars. They don't enforce the "no cars" rule strongly enough and people take the p*ss

Curse you Apple for calling my bluff on the excuse - "I'm not buying an ipad it doesn't have a camera". Guess I have to buy one now. #ipad2

Pink Floyd, TMBG, The Divine Comedy, while not immediately obvious, share a common nomenclature, the smug feeling that only you "get it" :)

Quite proud of myself, worked out the ending of "the Tourist" exactly 5 minutes 38 seconds in.
