The joy of specs

June 11, 2008

It’s official, I am now a bone fide, card carrying, four eyed specoid git. But only for reading and peering at the ‘pooter screen, I can still see a gnats knackers at 4,000 paces.

Loitering within tent

June 11, 2008

Spent last weekend on a Dads and Lads (and Lasses) camping trip. I’m pretty well endowed, in a camping equipment sense, but a couple of pitches away was a Tentipi.  I want one so bad it hurts – in fact, I need one and will not rest until I have one.
I just need to get [...]

They do indeed

Great tits cope well with warming.

This blogging lark is exhausting

So I’m off to the Lake District on holiday – might blog whilst I’m away, might just eat Kendal Mint Cake and wonder lonely as a cloud that floats on high o’er vales and hills.

Of course, I put two and two together…

Are you *still* there

Thought I might knock out a quick post, just to see if it still works.

On little boys, herding cats and too many sweets

February 13, 2007

I spent a few happy hours on Saturday taking Sam and six of his mates to the cinema for Sam’s birthday treat. I didn’t manage to lose any of them, in spite of their very best efforts. Every few seconds they seemed to perform a co-ordinated “bomb burst” maneouvre – the phrase “herding cats” springs [...]

A daughter – Charlotte Williams Rose

January 17, 2007

Cathy and I are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl who was born at 01:16 this morning in The Royal Surrey Hospital, Guildford. She weighs in at a might 9lbs (or 4.090 kilos if you’re that way inclined). We haven’t chosen a name yet but you’ll be amongst the first to know when [...]
