Scout training this evening. Apparently I have to go in full uniform! Hope I am not the ONLY person to spot this in the joining instructions

Got son2 an iMac G3, not fast enough. Got him a cute G4, still not quite there. Picking up a high spec 20" iMac G5 tonight, 3rd time lucky?

FINALLY being a parent has paid off. My eldest has just come home from school and handed me my invite to his friend's Laser Quest Party.

BLOODY HELL! I'M PLAYING AT THE GUILDFORD BOILER ROOM TONIGHT AND I HAVEN'T PRACTICED AT ALL!

Up early ironing my uniform for the parade later. First time in church for long while, hope I don't spontaneously combust on the threshold.

I have the impression, based on my wife's reaction, that the phrase "Women love a man in uniform" does not apply to Scout leaders.

It's a good job I find the pitter-patter of rain relaxing as it is all I can hear in my new loft office.

Went to IKEA, will I ever learn...

Carpet men are here installing the carpet in my loft. I have been looking forward to this day for 4 months. Sad really.

Sitting here arguing with Siri is probably not healthy. Think I will wait for the update. Basically we are officially not on speaking terms.

I saw this and it made me laugh http://ping.fm/LILlM

Sofa arrived, it looked blue in the shop, but it's blacker than the underside of a crow's wing on a dark night after falling in a coal mine.

Conversation with my wife in sofa shop. "Oh dear, look at THAT sofa". "I really like it", she says. "OK, sod it, let's get it", I reply.

Conversation with my wife in carpet shop. "Oh dear, look at THAT carpet". "I really like it", she says. "OK, sod it, let's get it", I reply.

All this talk about chocolate eggs. People should remember the true meaning of Easter. That poor bunny died for our sins!

Had a lovely week staying in a little cottage in Portscatho, Cornwall. Visited loads of places and caught up with my family.
