    Stocks, originally uploaded by samwebster. Yep, we’re all back to the routine today. I thought I was tired running around after this lot last week but my brain seems to be working much better after a break from work. And I only came back to 200 emails, so Easter might not be a bad time…

    Annabel is getting attached to her bunny to a neurotic level. She can’t sleep without it. That’s a given. If she wakes up in the night and can’t find bunny, we all wake up. During the day when she realises she hasn’t seen bunny for a while she has to find it, and runs up…

    This was a screenshot of my Mac’s desktop last week. The desktop’s wallpaper’s numbers are my half-marathon goal (time & distance). I found it useful to remind myself of what I was aiming for when getting into a fatigued, JFT mode whenever I cleared my display. I smashed that number (and I thought I was…

    Rhiannon Fish/DeWreede gave birth to a baby boy yesterday! The second year students will remember Rhi from anatomy teaching last year & of course you all know Rhi through our podcasts. Dexter James DeWreede was born at 2pm by caesarian section and weighed 9lb 8oz! There seems to be a trend in big babies amongst…

    My sporting history looks like it has come full circle. But I expect it to disappear off again in a new direction. At school I played the usual sports, and had good speed playing rugby and whatnot. But the other boys got bigger and I didn’t, and my ball handling/kicking skills were never up to…

    My caffe latte I, er, occasionally grab after a tough run or a strength workout at the gym may actually be a better recovery drink than I joked about in a previous post. In a full milk latte you’re looking at around 10g protein, 225 calories and 5g of fat. Fat’s a good thing for…

    Given my previous post, the flipside of children being so involved in technology is that they have no idea how delicate or expensive it can be. Apart from getting an Apple TV that I can stow away somewhere and sticking speakers on walls I’ve been put off buying any decent technology for the house. My…

    Jack has been drawing his own comics and reading some of the new Ironman stuff. The comics ask for kids to draw Marvel characters & send them in. So Jack drew a great collection of characters, from Ben Grimm to the Hulk. I’ll stick it up here or on Flickr. Jack suggested that we scan…

    A recent study of the health costs for premature births recommends more research in this area would save money, as reported by the BBC. “Premature births cost the UK an extra £939m a year, say researchers at the Oxford Centre for Health Economics. “Their study calculated what the costs would be for all the preterm…
