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 [...]

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 [...]

Well, the twins are officially 2 days old now, and this is Camille’s third night in hospital. I must say that I’m constantly impressed at how good the staff on the Jane Crookall at Nobles Hospital. All the staff have been great, from the doctors and midwives, all the way down to the support staff [...]

We’ve spent a quiet weekend enjoying each other’s company and I took the opportunity to clean up a few of my blogs and tidy some things up. I also had the opportunity to catch up on some magazines and even read up a bit about conversion rate optimization, so have some things I want to [...]

I’ve just noticed that my specs have started to develop a greenish tint which seems to be where sweat collects. It comes off easily, but it looks like the coating on the frame has worn away at that location, so it’s time to get some new glasses. It’s been more than a year since I [...]
