Today the boys were karting in Newport, but I was driving miss Daisy instead (private joke: I was playing chauffeur for the evening for a 90 year old lady called Daisy). Funny how things work out, eh? I want to blog a photo of Jack, but I’m in Cheltenham for the weekend & limited to…

Amid warnings of getting mugged for wearing white iPod headphones we have this blogger’s tale of the mini iPod’s self defence uses: “So this guy lunged out and grabbed my shoulder as I was changing songs and, with my bag stolen just last week, I was in no mood to make any concessions of my…

We had our first two deliveries of our anatomical models today. Jo & I have been unpacking them all afternoon, tossing paper & boxes all over the place like Christmas morning. I won’t tell you how expensive this equipment is, suffice to say that they are incredibly valuable teaching tools. They are all so detailed…

Talking of changing webcam pics, do you like my new car? I got it for my birthday. It scares Jack, even when he’s driving it.

Sorry for leaving that webcam pic of Jo up all week. I’m back now! 😉

Remember I wasn’t going to check my emails while away on holiday? I checked them today. 184! And that doesn’t include the 400 spam emails filtered out by the (wonderful) Apple email client’s spam filter. It took me a while to get through that lot. Yes, they were mostly work emails and tech newsletters. I…

Home again. I haven’t travelled much for a year or so – since Jack was born I guess, and well before this blog was born. This was Jack’s first trip abroad. Fun, but it’s always good to be home. We had to drive back from Cheltenham via Bristol airport – we left our cameras on…

We’re back in England; overnight in Cheltenham and back to Cardiff tomorrow (Sunday). Although the weather might have been variable the week in Spain’s Costa del Sol was a nice break. The best part was getting to spend a week with Jack, of course. The group are talking about going back in September, but I’ll…

The weather is “improving” down here in Spain. It certainly isn’t bad for March. Jack loves the beach and the sea, and is running around everywhere, exploring everything and entertaining everyone. He was fantastic whilst travelling – interested during take off and landing (he shared a window seat with his mum) and sleeping the rest…

At 30 I have become the man who has everything, and thus the typical male for whom it is impossible to buy gifts for. I’m terrible for CDs and DVDs because I’ve usually already bought them. I do fish a bit, but again, I have aquired almost all the kit I’ll ever need over the…
