Not much time …
I’ve mentioned before that I don’t work Sundays, although I’ve had to do some stuff today which was vaguely work-like. I’ll explain in more detail tomorrow. I intended this to be a big let’s-look-back-at-November type post, reliving the highs and lows of 30 days of steady posting, but: 1) This is post 99. I’ll do [...]

We’ve a lot to get through in the blog tonight, so if everyone could please shut up for five minutes, we can get started … First up, Happy Birthday to me old mucker, Tommy Donbavand, who turns ancient today.

I for one can’t get enough of the whole walking killer [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s nearly December. Well, not that hard. I mean the calendar speaks for itself. But you know what I mean. I started this blog in February of this year. The very first post was made while I was on a train to Glasgow, to meet up with my (then prospective) [...]

Sorry the last few posts have all been painfully short. This whole being-left-in-sole-charge-of-everything lark is proving to be trickier and more time consuming than I expected. So before I go iron school clothes, prepare school packed lunch, wrap shoebox for school shoebox appeal, tidy away dinner dishes, load the washing machine, load the tumble drier, [...]

Tomorrow, my other half returns to the UK for a few days, leaving me in sole charge of our six-year-old son. God help us both.

21 November 2008
As a long time user of Google Mail, I was surprised to log on today and find a new announcement waiting for me. As I read it, I felt a big bubble of excitement well up inside me like … er … a big bubble (I’m the similie king – fact). Google has today launched [...]
