    We did have some snow on Friday. Friday’s are probably the worst days to have snow if you’re at work and you drive because although it’s a great reason to start the weekend early, everyone else has the same idea. The roads get clogged (we don’t have a huge army of snowplows for once a…

    It’s good to be back on the bike. My hamstring injury didn’t seem to be getting much better so I tried to take a full 9 days off any sort of exercise, which included my daily cycle to work. Very inconvenient. I can’t say that it feels as though it has helped much (but it…

    Here’s a funny thing. I’m working from home and sat at the kitchen table with Jack. Jack’s colouring in Fireman Sam pictures. I’m also colouring in. I’ve been drawing some heart development diagrams for the cardiovascular embryology podcast in Adobe Illustrator and I’m about to colour these in too. Hmmm.

    At last, a film to look forward to. Rarely does an upcoming film fill me with anticipation these days (as most seem to be a remake of a remake of a book) but I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. The next film to follow Shaun of the Dead: Hot Fuzz. The TV…

    Our medicine students raised money for charity today by going for a swim, in fancy dress, in the sea. Bear in mind (pun intended) that it’s January and the water’s pretty chilly. They called this the Polar Bear Swim. Some of the staff got involved too, notably Phil here in blonde wig and black bikini.…

    Jack had a huge birthday party today, with all his friends and classmates invited. Organised pandemonium. Weeks and weeks of planning, preparing, hunting, ordering, buying, cooking, baking, cutting and bagging culminating in 2 hours of party. Jack and all his mates had a great time making things (masks, frogs, crowns, mice, etc), playing traditional party…

    Jack has been very excited with the build up to his birthday. He is very much into all things firefighter-related (thanks to Fireman Sam) so was very, very happy to be able to dress up like a firefighter, utility belt and all. He had a tea party with a few friends, and will have a…

    Damned geeks. I feel that the BBC are getting very used to reporting on World of Warcraft news. Another case of WoW life & RL (real-life) getting crossed I guess, particularly as at least one of the journalists has a WoW character.

    My sister is getting married this summer. This weekend has been spent with Kim and visitors making these wedding invitations in an assembly line. Detail!

    Er, what’s going on here then? I’m in Ironforge, the Dwarven city, and everybody’s dead. Bones and bodies everywhere, outside the auction house, the bank, the forge, the Seat of the High King, everywhere. War? Ah. I see. Who’s this large fella then? Blizzard have furthered the story of the World of Warcraft, and with…
