Very worried about my wife who has taken a turn for the worse with some sort of flu virus. Weighing up options here in India. Waiting.

I LOVE qwiki. It's a fun way to access info. This guy is a direct ancestor of mine http://ping.fm/F78vv

oh yes, I remember, the bloody beeping. They're still doing it.

Flight seems to be full apart from the seat next to me. A small mercy. Seat kicker behind + 5 drunk businessmen shouting to my right though.

Queuing like a bloody sheep amoung the coughing sneezing masses. Ah well, on the bright side, at least it is 25 deg C warmer in Bangalore.

My wife dropped me at the airport. I am a bit of a softy, I hate saying goodbye at departures. A week seems a very long time away from them.

Blocked nose, sinus pain, head ache. Worn out. I know what will make me feel better, an 11 hour long-haul flight to Bangalore. Joy of joys.

5 chaps downing 1ltr bottles of jaegermeister on today's fun packed easyjet flight home.

Really feeling my 3am start. Nietzsche said “When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago”. Wise and true words indeed.

The 06:15 Gatwick to Amsterdam yob express. God how I love this flight. Business travellers sitting awkwardly next to drunk and stoned yoofs

It's stupid o'clock! Time to head to Amsterdam for the day.

My body has finally relented to everyone around me being ill. Feel really ill today.

Off to look for a new car.

Lights charged, inner tube replaced, crud scraped off frame, shoulder still bust but mustn't grumble! Who's up for some MTB action tonight?

Finally watched The Hurt Locker. I really liked it. So tense I feel a migraine coming on. Well worth it. Closing speech was heartbreaking.

shout out to my GU1 homies http://blip.fm/~10yuyx

My son had a nightmare, so we typed it into the max my dream app so we could watch it again - he loved it http://ping.fm/07cwM

Can you imagine something so terrible as a US version of Shameless starring William H Macy as Frank http://ping.fm/HDYkk

Watching "Freakonomics the movie", really interesting stuff, worth watching.

The excellent Adagio for Tron by Daft Punk - Happy Friday - http://blip.fm/~10pln2

4.5 hours sleep is not enough, I was looking forward to my Friday night 10K run with the lads, now I am too exhausted to think about it :(

New battery and my Roomba is now back in action, I missed you my little robot buddy.

That was the best run of my life

Today, in a scene reminiscent of the film "Primer", I've been in my garage; altering the molecular structure of materials with microwaves.

Looking forward to a "Daddy Day" with Son2 today. Heading in to London to visit the Natural History and Science museums.

Looking through my email, I have to question the medical credentials of Dr MaxxMann & his brand of anatomical enlargement pills.

Oops, back from the airport. Had to pop into my local newsagents to pick up some "Dutch" sweets for my boys. Bad Dad.

Early start, heading to Terminal 5 for a flight to Amsterdam to meet my team.

Whenever I watch a really memorable movie I have noticed that invariably the casting is by Ellen Chenoweth. I am a big fan.

Had a lovely morning with old friends from Cornwall and their two boys. Great to catch up.

The best Father Ted episode ever, just started on C4.

Looking forward to lots of exciting challenges in 2011. I feel very lucky to have my amazing family and such great friends. Happy new year!

Ikea again. Each time I think it will be different. Each time it is a voyage into the depths of hell. ARRGHHH!

The big room shuffle has begun, moving everyone around so that I get a more suitable size office and we get our master bedroom! lots of DIY

Boxing day, historically the day when the servants got the day off. Tell that to my kids :) They are having a great Christmas.

Kids have been up and down all night, now I am building a complex lego set in a daze. Having fun. Merry Christmas all!

Had a really lovely day with friends and family. I feel very lucky to have them and I'm looking forward to Christmas and a great 2011.

While shopping a woman yells across to her friend "I have the flu", her friend replies "So have I", while laughing. I hate people sometimes.

lay down for a rest in bed at 7pm, just woke up and can't get back to sleep now :( bah

Don't you hate it when you perfectly execute a handbrake turn into a parking space and there is no hot chick, ahem, I mean - Wife to see it

Mum posted me a box of mince pies, anybody want a crushed beyond all recognition mince pie?

still on my long snow adventure walk with Dad. made it to st Marthas church, lovely snowy vista.

First official day of my Christmas holiday today, stinking cold.

Watched Anchorman with Dad last night, he didn't like it, I am shocked, I thought everyone liked that film.

Nothing shows the cultural differences between the UK and US than the trailers for "Death at a Funeral" http://bit.ly/h9ImN6

Up early with my 3 favourite alarm clocks. Last night was fun, curry with the boys, celebrating weight loss effort. I came 2nd, 20lbs gone!

Looks like the Netherlands are set for a white Christmas - http://ping.fm/z2e9C

Texting while driving must be a pretty big problem, based on the fact I have spotted 3 people doing it within 10 miles, 2 almost hitting us!

Off to a panto tonight. Yay.
