I get it now

I understand why parents post so much about their kids - because to them, their kids are awesome. I ignored their posts mainly because they were not my kids, and I had no vested interest in them. It would appear that now I have a child of my own, one that I have a vested interest in, I want to…

A new approach to updates

Posted inMusic, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments
I've decided to take a new approach to these weekly updates. I like the idea of doing an update once a week on a set day, so that aspect is staying. The whole "Friday update" thing is getting old - it's quite boring to look down the recent posts and basically see the words "Friday" and "update" repeated twenty times.…

September. September already. So, Monday was a bit scary. We took Gizmo to the vets in the morning (he's breathing very heavily at the moment), found out he could either have something in his lungs or he simply has a chest infection. Jane didn't sleep very well the night before (she had a weird kind of bad headache which defies…

So ready for Flipper to appear now. I just can't wait to meet the little guy/gal - and I can't wait for Jane to be able to rest properly again. It's not that she's been miserable or grumpy because of the baby cramping her style - I just feel it's been long enough now, she deserves her body back. Two…

It's been yet another quick week. Little baby Stewart is due in three weeks if you can believe that - we're hoping that he or she comes a bit sooner than that because now is an ideal time, what with Claire and the kids being away. It would just be a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere for us to introduce the…

I've almost sorted out my new hours at work - less days but roughly the same amount of hours. I know I won't need to look after Flipper until Jane goes back to work but the opportunity to secure the perfect timetable arose, so I took it. Working three full days a week rather than working five short shifts will…

I'm a bit later than usual today due to visiting my Mum, David, Jasmine and Otis in Southampton today. Had a great time on the way over brainstorming various things including: content for my personal YouTube channel, how to work the Twitter machine, and if I can somehow combine them all with the posts here to pretty much automate the…

Musings

I'm just sitting here on a sunny Saturday afternoon, at the PC with a green tea and a couple of biscuits, editing the next series of Sonic games (Sonic 2, for those of you who care), thinking to myself that I've not really written anything that wasn't a Friday update on here in a while. I started doing Friday updates…

Flippedy-flip-flop is doing well - getting much bigger much more quickly now. Jane said they'll be putting on a pound a week from here on out. Crazy. I was moving some shelves around at work on Wednesday, giant glass ones at that, and I was moving one from one cabinet to the other and as I was lifting it, it…
