One of my birthday presents this year was a carving lesson at Simpsons. One of the few places in the world which is a true celebrator of the British roast dinner. The course itself was a couple of hours of stories, instruction, tips and tricks about how to carve a joint of meat with maximum …

In the office at 06:30 this morning to perform an application release. All things going well it shouldn’t be a big thing but whenever you have to run a data migration there is always a risk so it’s best admin trousers on and off we go.
My Home Phone is broken
I thought things had been very quiet this week. I have just discovered that my home phone number is not working so if you need to speak to me please use my mobile number for the moment. Update It seems to be fixed now. Only out for three days!
House Move Off
I have officially called off the estate agents from selling my house now. The market seems to be dropping and although I had a few offers, one of which seems to have been fair in the current market, they simply weren’t good enough to make it worth my while. After all there is no actual …
Vertigo 42
We went for a few drinkies at Vertigo 42 followed by a curry last night. A good turnout of people made a fun evening, excellent to catch up with everyone, especially the guys who have gone on to bigger and better things. I imagine everyone is feeling a little sore in the head this morning though.

She is lovely though. For friends and family, there are some new piccies over at Flickr.We had stopped …
Welcome a new White
I have just heard that I am an uncle for the first time. My brother and sister-in-law have just had a baby girl, Elspeth Victoria was born at 10:13 and weighed 8lbs 10. Mum and daughter are doing well. Congratulations all!
A bitty day
I had to leave work at lunchtime yesterday to get home and get my bathroom plumbing fixed. Apart from a fairly dramatic plume of water when the shower was taken apart this went without incident although it has re-affirmed my total lack of practical abilities.The rest of the afternoon and evening I just spent lazing …
