A bit of this and a bit of that

So, I’ve taken a bit of a break off my diet over Christmas. I as expecting to put on weight as we were visiting our families in Malta and having lunch with one family and dinner with the other. And besides the expected increase in calorific intake, there were all the Christmas goodies and spirit [...]

I know it feels like only a few days have passed, but I woke up today to find that the twins are a full month old. They’re growing fast and although they’re hard work, they’re both lots of fun. We went out for a pizza tonight to celebrate, though the twins slept through the whole [...]

We’re still looking at flying options, but it’s going to cost a bomb; Xmas is a bad time to be flying especially as everyone seems to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

We had an excellent Christmas day with loads of great food, great gifts and great company. Camille tried some new things, her mince pies were amazing, her Xmas cake fabulous and the turkey this year was really juicy and tasty. Her mince pies had nuts in them and they were just amazing. Would recommend anyone [...]

This year we’re staying home and Camille‘s family is visiting us. Last year we went to Malta, but Christmas is so much nicer here in the British Isles. It feels more like Christmas when it’s all frosty outside, when you have a real tree in your living room, when everyone has their fingers crossed that [...]

We went out and bought a Christmas tree this weekend, then spent yesterday evening setting it up. I might get a few photos up if I have a chance to upload them, but it’s great that the house is starting to feel all Christmasy. We took q few photos of the tree in various stages [...]
