Woke up this morning absolutely shattered! I just could not get to sleep last night. I decided at around 1am to get up and make myself a mug of Horlicks. It must have worked because I eventually drifted off. Earlier I had popped the TV on and started to get engrossed in Jude(an excellent adaptation …

Samsung D600
I have just taken possession of a Samsung D600 mobile phone. My old A1000 is now defunct thanks to a cracked LCD screen. The damage was caused when I dropped it on the wooden floor in the lounge while capering about. They just don’t make ’em like they used to :-). I am pleased with …
Bath
Well the weekend away in Bath went very well. The predicted nasty weather didn’t materialize. At least not in our neck of the woods. Cornwall did get it pretty bad with reports of motorists stuck on Bodmin Moor in the snow. Bath itself is a delight. As you approach the valley overlooking the city you …

The 360 has just been released in the US. Currently as I write this countless gamers will be marvelling at the excellent graphics and exclaiming over the enhanced sound. Or will they? Looking at the "have your say" section of the BBC website it seems like a lot of people will be holding fire and …

Teenage Kicks
Okay not really teenage, more pre-birth. “He” has been giving Ames grief for a while now and has settled into a nice routine. Up at 7am for a few pummels then asleep before waking at around 11am. Throughout the day he is very awake. Even the mid-wife commented on how lively he was! He usually …
Olympus E-500
Well bonfire night has come and gone. I had been meaning to get down to the Blackheath display but alas didn’t make it. I’ve been very busy recently what with the flat sale and bairn to think of. Lot’s to do and not a lot of time to do it. The Olympus E-500 DSLR has …
The weather is back to normal
What a difference a few days make!
Summers Day in October!
I took a walk along the river this lunchtime. It’s like spring out there! The sky is blue and cloudless and it must be about 20º C. Here’s the proof that we do have good weather in England 🙂
