It was the London Marathon over the weekend and my friend Phil was running again. He finished even with a calf injury and smashed his record time by over an hour. Well done Phil.

Grand National Win (well each way at least)
My un-natural luck on the Grand National has continued this year. I put two each way bets on Hedgehunter and Nil Desperandum. Both came in the places so I’ve come out with £43.50 profit (mostly thanks to Nil Desperandum which was a 40/1 outsider). It’s the only race in the year that I actually put …

Road Trip Ahead
I’ve decided that I may as well take advantage of my time off work at the moment so am going on a bit of a road trip across the States during April and May. The plan is to fly out to New York and then take an internal flight across to Los Angeles. From there …
Sat in Arlanda Airport
I’m sat here in the bar at Arlanda Airport beavering away on the laptop while I wait for the plane in a couple of hours, there was an earlier one but it was full so I couldn’t get on. Anyway, not to worry as there is plenty to do. I’ve uploaded a few photos that …
Off to Sweden
Well it’s been a busy few days. We had a family gathering at a house in Norfolk over the weekend to celebrate my brother’s thirtieth birthday. A pretty relaxing time for all I think with a really great dinner on Saturday night, I think there were 12 people there and a few (if not more) …
So where’s the third thing?
Yesterday afternoon while I was driving home from lunch I was sat at the traffic lights waiting for them to change. While waiting I could see a guy on a push bike weaving through all of the cars trying to get past, he looked a little unsteady but seemed OK, that was until he got …
Finally Gone
Well yesterday was my last in my contract hence the lack of a SnTT post, definitely feels very strange not going to work today. Although it’s quite welcome as I didn’t get to the hotel until 2ish this morning and I definitely feel like I had a drink last night. We had a really great …
Last Early Start
Before finishing my contract next week I have one more version of the application I have been working on to release into production. So a 4:30 start this morning to get into the office in time for the templates to be released. After that a bit of configuration work and some unit testing before handing …
Rude Awakening
I had set my washing machine to do a load overnight yesterday (I get cheap electricity in the middle of the night you see). At about 2 o’clock this morning I was woken up by the fire alarm going, my telephone beeping saying there was a power cut, and a lack of any noise coming …
Big Changes over the next months
Anyone who watches Jobserve in the UK will have seen a whole batch of similar contract positions go through yesterday afternoon, well that would be my current role. After almost six years I’ve decided it’s time for a change of scenery, so after working on three quite large (in Domino terms) applications and a whole …
