OMG

You know I said last week that my phone wasn't updating? Well, it worked for no apparent reason just now - I didn't change anything, it just worked. The system works, I embrace our Microsoft overlords, etc. Also, and I'm not sure if I should announce this (LIKE ANYONE READS THIS ANYWAY LOL), but Jasmine is gonna have a little…

Great weekend

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
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…

The 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear

By Walter Moers David and Katie got me this for Christmas, and what a joy! It was totally surreal, yet immensely believable. It seemed totally random at times, but came together very strongly at the end. No loose ends is always a good way to end a book, less frustration on the part of the reader. The imagination on show…

Happy Birthday to me

I am now 32 years old, and I'm sure I say this every year, but I don't feel a day older than 25. My loved ones got me some smashing gifts. Jane got me Fable III, which, due to me working, she has played more than I have. Mum got me the new Rangers shirt, it's so nice, and a…

I was thinking the other night, and came up with all these ideas. I'd pay off Jane's part of the mortgage, and everyone else's, for that matter (if I won enough), I'd pay off Mum's mortgage and give her some money to do the house up, buy a modest little place for David, Katie and Jasmine so they wouldn't have…

Mum’s birthday weekend

I spent this weekend over in Southampton, as it is my Mum's birthday today. I went over yesterday and got back a few hours ago, I had a lovely time catching up with Mum, and it was great to see my bro and Jasmine after so long. She's really growing up, walking by herself now, and almost talking coherently (she…

Went to see Jasmine (and Mum, David and Katie as well) yesterday, got to give her her belated birthday presents. We got her this turtle thing that plays little tunes while roaming around launching little plastic balls out of it's back that'll encourage her to crawl after it. Well, we put some batteries in it and as soon as it…

Happy Birthday Jasmine

Wow, it's been a year already? It's the little ones Birthday today, and while I'm a bit sad we didn't get to Longdown Dairy Farm yesterday to see her, I'm OK as I spent a lot of time with her at David and Katie's wedding and at the BBQ afterwards. Look how much she's grown up in her first year.…

We went to Maggie and George's house today for the after-wedding Barbecue - the purpose of which was so that everyone who was not invited to David and Katie's Wedding itself could celebrate their happy occasion. The rain stayed away, and although it was a bit windy, it was a lovely day for being outside. We arrived early, and my…

Jane and I went over to Southampton in the morning - it was strange, as we were making the journey on the train it didn't feel at all like we were going to a wedding later that day. It only felt like a wedding when we went to meet David at his hotel to "get him to the Registry Office…
