Holiday 2011: Day 1

Holiday 2011: Day 1

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Holiday! I got up at 5am so I could jump in the shower first (I must have a shower every morning - I get terribly sweaty at night), and be ready for the designated 7am departure time. Funny - 5am is my usual Saturday morning wake-up time, so it wasn't too much bother for me. As I said, 7am was…
Pre-holiday bonus

Pre-holiday bonus

Posted inFilms/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments
Work is a bit odd at the moment. Loads of people are leaving or possibly getting sacked - I'm glad I can get away from it for a week to be honest. We're going to Dawlish next week, with Jane's Mum and Dad. Should be interesting. Anyway, as a pre-holiday bonus, I went to see Mum, David and Jasmine today.…

Rabbit

There's a rabbit that lives in the front garden opposite us. A real-life wild rabbit. What's even more surprising is that there is a family of foxes living in the garden next door.

I completed my 50th Xbox game today, geoDefense, on my phone. It was a nice little game, but not as mentally taxing as some other tower defence style games. You could simply plow through most levels with as many fully upgraded regular gun turrets as you could cram into the arena. For the few levels that required a different approach,…

Great weekend

It was great. On Saturday, Jane and I went shopping in Portsmouth, we went for lunch at Jamie Oliver's Italian, I bought 4 new polo shirts (£80!!) and I finally put my "propose to her at the top of the Spinnaker Tower" plan into action. By the way, the food was amazing, the shirts will no doubt soon not fit…
