Fecking birds woke me, tweet bloody tweet, yes I get it, you own that particular branch of that tree, now go to sleep you feathery bastards.

Well, I've learned something today, particularly the last part, my knowledge of history is terrible, I had no idea! http://bit.ly/m5ssZJ

Had a go on onlive the other day. Even from the UK I was blown away. I sincerely believe the future of gaming is in the cloud.
Coin operated self-destruct? Not one of my better ideas.

New NY taxi is so lacking in character, shame, a perfect example of a committee decision http://ping.fm/DUWS7

Oddly, one of my favourite songs for many years. http://blip.fm/~148j5g

Holy significant world events Batman! Didn't see that one coming.

I solemnly swear that I will NEVER EVER EVER use a service provided by Halifax because of those awful awful radio station adverts.

115km Bike Ride today along the downs link and half way back again. BBQ with family, kids playing nicely in the garden. Happy ending.
Fixed, happier now.
Flat tyre on the bike, middle of nowhere, wish I'd stayed at home. :(

Helping my wife make some Will and Kate inspired cupcakes in order to stop being "a miserable cynic". 3 guesses who I am quoting there.
Went to the non-english speaking Iranian barber shop for a hair cut to avoid the wedding, they had it on the TV.

Monday, April 25, 2011

Sharing a beer with my wife, watching 3 children playing on the trampoline and wondering how that happened.

Sunday, April 24, 2011

Oh right it's Easter, better buy some eggs!

Friday, April 22, 2011

Uncharacteristically cynical of me, but just think, this time next week I will still not be giving a sh.t about the bloody royal wedding.
Second visit to Flambards as the first one was so popular with the boys. I love this place. Nobody here though. Strange. Has WWIII started?

Cliff paths, sheep, brambles, barbed wire, nettles, mad badger, totally lost, 14.5km and I'm home
Lovely day on Crantock beach, playing in dunes, splashing in the sea, skimming along on a boogie board in the warm sea. Perfect. Now a run!

Another bro quote, while attemting to get him to kick a ball to me "you don't have to do this you know, you are cleverer than this" hmmm

In a Fantastic Cornish holiday home. Massive. Modern. Open fire. Boys crashed out at around 6:30. Full day planned for tomorrow. Meeting Dad

Such a beautiful song - it has set me up for a good weekend. Enjoy yours. http://blip.fm/~13qd4z

Nervously awaiting Son1's school placement decision.

Friday, April 08, 2011

God, who may or may not exist, help me.

Thursday, April 07, 2011

Bought a new toy to help motivate me to run and cycle more.

Sunday, April 03, 2011

Happy Mothers Day to all you Mothers.

Swimming with Son1, now lunch - burger and chips, Jamie Oliver is on his way to punch me in the face.

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.

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

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.

Sunday, March 27, 2011

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

Tuesday, March 22, 2011

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 :)

Saturday, March 19, 2011

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

Friday, March 18, 2011

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.

Thursday, March 10, 2011

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.

Sunday, March 06, 2011

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

Thursday, March 03, 2011

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" :)

Tuesday, March 01, 2011

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