    Here’s that photo of Jack’s head. The damage is a few days old, and the scab actually came off after this photo. He’s a ruffty tuffty!

    This is dumb. Get this: if I buy a ticket on the train from Cardiff to Swansea it costs me 8.60 ukp. 8.60 x 5 = 43 If I buy a weekly season ticket for the same route it costs me 44.40 ukp. That’s a non-discount of + 1.40. What the crap is that all…

    Blimey, it’s hard getting up early when Jack has already woken you up a couple of times in the night. Ug.

    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…

    Another example of Sod’s Law: the electricity was off to my building at work for maintenance today. It was promised to come back on at 1pm, but of course, I was sat there at 1, laptop out of juice, waiting. Nothing. I had a few non-electrical jobs to do, so got on with those (the…

    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…
