Who is Owen Cutajar?

Have you ever typed your name into Google? Isn’t it interesting what comes up? Some of my websites come up in my case, but I guess I’m quite lucky because I have a pretty unusual name. I would hate to be a John Smith and try to look for myself on Google. It’s amazing really…

Meet Luck and Chance

luckchance

Camille and I were away from home a few days last week, visiting a hospital in Leeds for a Frozen Embryo Transfer. You see, when Arthur was born, we had a number of other embryos that were frozen for a later cycle and we’ve decided to try again. We defrosted 4 embryos and the best…

Xmas is over .. back to the diet

So, the Christmas period is over .. ok, it’s been over for a couple of weeks now, and I’m well on my way to getting back on track with my diet. We had some relatives over, then Arthur‘s birthday, so it’s been a bit touch and go, but I’ve managed to lose one of the…

One for the lawyers

We haven’t had a joke here for some time, so here’s a lawyer joke dedicated to Leo: A grade school teacher was asking students what their parents did for a living. “Tim, you be first,” she said. “What does your mother do all day?” Tim stood up and proudly said, “She’s a doctor.” “That’s wonderful….

Family Guy

Image via Wikipedia I’ve got a really soft spot for Family Guy, which happens to be on TV just as I decide to go to bed .. which means I end up spending an extra hour up watching 2 episodes of Family Guy. I just love the humour and the whole thing just sends me…

Of marbles and magnets

So Santa brought Arthur a brilliant game this year. It consists of a set that needs to be assembled that contains a motor, cogs, marbles and a whole bunch of different things you can use to build a slalom course for the marbles (Arthur calls it his roller-coaster game). It takes around two hours to…

Holidays almost over

Well, the 2 weeks of holidays are almost at and end and it’s back to our routine on Monday. Arthur will be going back to school, I’ll be going back to work, gym and Camille and I will be going back on our diet. It’s been a fantastic 2 weeks; excellent to spend some time…

Everyone loves a contest

I’ve just finished running a contest, well, a sweepstake to be more exact on Ugh!!’s Greymatter Honeypot which resulted in Elizabeth from Table4Five winning a Twitter mug, which should be with her soon. I must say, it was great fun and I had some great response from people who took part. I’ll definitely be running…
