1 hour on a plane and I now know the life story of the bimbo airhead behind me. Snap out of it love, it's not all about you.

Work related road trip from Amsterdam to Bonn today. Heading home tomorrow. Knackered.

That's the Raspberry Pi ordered. Cool :)
Trust me, this will end very badly. Dystopian future looming. http://j.mp/wUQITL

Thursday, March 01, 2012

Yay, the Raspberry Pi is finally available, well sort of. Slightly disappointed the rest of the planet wants one too.

Hangover, check. Hundreds of embarrassing photos of me tagged on Facebook, check. Mission accomplished.

In bed. Everyone asleep. New viz magazine. Friday tomorrow. I like these moments. Night night.
Pep Guardiola is FA's favourite for the England manager position. Never heard of him. First & last football related tweet.
Just in time, my costume has arrived for the Mexican themed fancy dress party on Saturday. I tried it on and laughed pretty hard.

Plumbing Quiz: What DON'T you do when you realise you have put a screw into a water pipe? Bonus question, what did I just do?
Couldn't find all the elements of my planned fancy dress costume. Party is on Saturday! Arrrgggh

Son1 is so like me, loves spicy food & olives, playing computer games, running around being a zombie. Now he LOVES diving too!

Monday, February 13, 2012

When I sit at a piano I try to release a tune I made up that floats in my head. Finally I have exorcised it (first draft) http://j.mp/xPioW9
Son1 called Son2 a "Butt Ninja". Quite a formidable insult. Note to self, block access to ITV channels.

Just back from seeing James and the Giant Peach at Bramley village hall. It was really really good. The boys loved it.

Saturday, February 11, 2012

Train to London with the family, natural history & science museums, aquarium, ride on the eye, quick burger then home. Good day. Knackered.

Monday, February 06, 2012

New networked fire alarm system went off. Ear splitting ring in every single room. Luckily the boys didn't wake up. Oh, hang on.
To use an outdated advert inspired idiom - New heating pump £90. Being able to sleep at night again, priceless.
Boys had a great time in the snow this weekend, nothing but slush left now. I've been feeling exhausted, getting over a virus.

Sunday, February 05, 2012

Just spent £100 on a load of GU10 LED lightbulbs for the attic. Ouch, severe pain in the wallet.

Saturday, February 04, 2012

I lay down for a bit at 7pm and have just woke up :( not sure if I should get up. Don't think I'm well.
Son1's favourite film is Fantastic Mr Fox, I'm pretty proud of his excellent taste. It's in my top 10. Watching it yet again.
Ahhh... Bed!

Builders are here working through the last few items on the snagging list. Be glad when it is all complete. Very happy we did it.

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

I just got hit by a flake of snow. Nobody believes me. #uksnow

Electricians are here retro-fitting fire alarms into all rooms, they are swearing a lot.

Cough cough cough cough cough.... I hate not sleeping and listening to ill children

Friday, January 27, 2012

Just installed ichatr on my iPhone and regretted it within 0.27 seconds. One for the pub I think.
Staring at ceiling. Listening to son2 coughing, darling wife sleeping & heating system purring away. Important day tomorrow, as is the way.

Thursday, January 26, 2012

Well, what started as a fairly far fetched idea is now apparently growing into a scary but exciting reality. Dyb Dyb Dyb.
I love every film Wes Anderson has ever made, Moonrise kingdom looks like another classic, will it better Life Aquatic? http://j.mp/ygBy7u

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

I am disappointed not to be able to get my boys into scouting, the waiting lists are so long in my area you need to enrol before conception :(

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Emotional moment. Just hit 10k followers on twitter. I wouldn't follow me, but thanks for listening to my inane nonsense everyone
Plumber2 has spotted a fundamental and dangerous flaw in plumber1's work. They're having a heated debate, teehee. Actually quite pissed off.
House is totally full of tradesmen today. Final push from the loft company to finish+ we are having all the old rads replaced throughout
Drop off for Son3's 1st day at preschool was hard. You can imagine how fast my wife moved when she got "the call" saying he wasn't happy :(

Monday, January 23, 2012

My wife has been walking around bleary eyed in recent days. Reason, Son3's first day at school tomorrow :,(
Final week that the workmen will be in the house. Loft conversion almost done. Tired of the disruption now.

Saturday, January 21, 2012

Replaced the cheap rubbish lighting in the kitchen with something more "posh". Now to order LED bulbs like a good citizen.
My wife just glued together two halves of a dead stag beetle's exoskeleton. Anyone else's wives acting odd today?

Thursday, January 19, 2012

In Amsterdam relaxing in the hotel after a long but good day. Looking forward to getting home tomorrow.

Monday, January 16, 2012

Found out that Son3 just did his first poo on a potty. More scatological status updates to follow! Stay Tuned!
"Most Depressing Day of the Year" or "Blue Monday" was actually made up by a holiday company. It's nonsense. http://j.mp/wAPwqL
"Most depressing day of the year" today, apparently. Probably sponsored by an antidepressant drug company. Busy week ahead, feeling upbeat.

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

Son3 did his first wee on a potty. Headline news in this house. Bye bye nappies!

Monday, January 09, 2012

Picked up a lovely iMac on eBay for Son2. He will be over the moon with it. It is so darn cute.

Saturday, January 07, 2012

Just gave my eldest son's pet woodlice a bath.

Friday, January 06, 2012

Back from Panto number 2. Jack and the beanstalk in Godalming. Really good! Kids are exhausted :)

Tuesday, January 03, 2012

Feeling happy & organised. 1 short break on Isle of Wight, 1 week in France & 1 week in Cornwall, all booked. Centre Parcs pencilled in too!

Monday, January 02, 2012

They got on so well in Titanic, but Kate and Leo seem to have hit a rough patch in the sequel "Revolutionary Road". Holiday romances PAH!
