2010 July | A bit of this and a bit of that

Playing Facebook Games

Image via Wikipedia The Internet is awesome, you can find anything you like, from videos of toddlers falling over all the way to reruns of your favourite episodes. But recently I’ve spent some of my free time playing games on Facebook. There are two in particular that are particularly addictive. One is called Bejeweled Blitz…

Need a haircut

As you can see from my photo it’s getting high time for me to get a haircut. Ok, I should also be researching the best shampoo for thinning hair, but the rest of it is going out of control. We’ll probably do the deed this weekend, both Arthur and I need a haircut, so we…

Trying a Turbo Snake

We’ve had slow moving water in the shower for a few weeks now, and usually we use some sort of drain unblocker or a plunger. But this time I decided to try something completely different. I managed to get my hands on a JML Turbo Snake, a little gizmo that you can slide down the…

Blowing bubbles

Here’s a short video I took a couple of days ago. Seems like the babies have become experts at blowing bubbles. I wonder who thought them! Tweet

Bring on the anti-histamines

My hay fever seems to be kicking in again. I’ve never really had too many health problems; I’ve never needed any operations or anything like that, I’ve never needed treatment for eczema and I’ve never really broken anything. So really, suffering from hay fever isn’t really such a big deal. The good thing is that…

photo credit: YLegrand Well, it’s a few days in and my diet seems to be getting on relatively well. Yesterday wasn’t such a good day, as I was out with a few friends in the evening and after a steak dinner, we hit a bar and ended up painting the town red. Today was a…

Alone for a week

So, Camille and the kids are away from home for a whole week. This gives me some time to catch up on stuff and catch up on some sleep. I’ve already kicked off the week properly, been to the gym on Monday (tomorrow is next) and am looking to a proper night of sleep tonight…

The Weekend is here! How about a sleep in?

I must say that Friday evenings are great. I know that the weekend is here, an spend some quality time with family and get some R&R. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but weekdays are just so hectic, juggling work, babies and all the other things in between. Friday comes along and I…

Ouch .. my back!

I don’t know what I’ve done to my back, but I seem to have messed it up again somehow. I don’t know if it’s lifting and playing with the kids or whether I’m not sitting properly. I know that I do spend too much of my day sitting, but after all, my job and hobbies…

Surfing the Web

The Web is great isn’t it? It’s amazing how you can always find the answer to every question you want, whether it’s how to use ListViews in Android or research extenze side effects. Yes, there’s a whole thing about social interaction nowadays, with Facebook and the like making a huge impact; but for me, the…
