A bit of this and a bit of that

Sometimes it takes losing a competition to realise that something has gone missing. I *could* have been going to the US (turn’s out I’m not), so I wanted to check my passport to see if my Visa was still valid. That sparked a pretty intensive search around the house with the net result that I [...]

I’m alone at home in the Isle of Man at the moment and catching up on a number of different things. I have some websites that need attention, I have some cleaning to do and I’m hoping to find some time to practice some piano pieces too. It’s nice to have these sort of days, [...]

Here’s what we bought for Arthur:

It arrived yesterday and we spent most of the evening assembling it. I must say it was worth it though. Arthur just loved it, climbing up and down the ladder, hiding under the bed (there’s a small door at the side) and having a whale of a [...]

Wow, I’ve just realised that I’ve been humming all morning, a sign that I’m in a great mood. It’s probably because my Organisational Behaviour exam is behind me, and I haven’t started looking at the next exam yet. That, coupled with a full night’s sleep, has certainly put me in high spirits. Or maybe it’s [...]

Yeay .. it’s Friday! I love the weekend, but this is going to be a pretty intensive one. I have some work to do, some studying to do, and if I get bored with all that, I’m pretty sure I’ll find stuff to do around the house. No,I won’tbe doing any painting but there’s always [...]

I’m in Malta at the moment, so much time to post, but wanted to drop a quick "Merry Xmas" and wish everyone a prosperous New Year. Here’s a cute card I was sent:

See you all soon! Have a good one!

So I’m back home following a great holiday in Finland. It was a strange experience having no land line, no mobile phone and no Internet for a whole week, but I seem to have survived. Instead I spent my time skiing, enjoying to quality family time and pulling Arthur along in his sled and throwing [...]

Seeing we’re going to Finland soon, I’ve been keeping an eye on different things I’m going to need to get, including some new boots. But i ended up at a website that specialises in work boots instead and was wondering if I should get some new boots. I probably wouldn’t go for Steel Toe Boots, [...]

The family is going down to Peel tonight to celebrate bonfire night. I’m going to be a recluse and not join them as I have a million things to do. I’m meeting Nathan for some Work Connexions things, I have some studying to do and I have all my other Internet addictions I need to [...]

Well, Facebook seems to have stood the test of time and I’m still pretty much checking it out whenver I can. The great thing has been getting in touch with people I haven’t seen in years and years. People I went to school with, people I worked with in the UK, people I knew in [...]
