There’s not been a great deal happening over the last week or so that I’ve felt compelled to write about…. so there’s been no blog update. We visited my parents at the weekend – Joseph’s first time in England (don’t worry, he’d had all his jabs). Then on Sunday Poppy helped me wash the car, mow the lawns, clean the barbecue and make a cheesecake (nothing fancy… from a packet!). Ooh and we nosed around the show home at the new development in the village. Makes for enthralling reading doesn’t it? It gets better.. we ordered a new tumble dryer because the drying part of our washer dryer is more like a washer-keep-soggier now. I played on Monkey Island for a bit.. and while writing this blog I am reinstalling Windows Home Server on the new 1TB drive I purchased (full review of Windows Home Server coming soon). We’re also moving from Tiscali to Talk-Talk for phone and broadband – they’re cheap and offer a 30 day get-out-of-contract deal if you don’t like them so if they’re pants I will hold them to that. Tomorrow is Poppy’s first ballet lesson so I’m looking forward to the report on how that went. Will she dance like a little dainty fairy or a hippopoppymus? I’m almost at the end of day 2 without any chocolate… how long can I last? We’ll see. I’ve been replacing it with a mixture of skittles, red bull and chewing gum. I think I need to cut out all three of those too in addition but that’ll have to wait.
And in sadder news.. it’s a fond fairwell to the greatest of all the TV Chefs, Keith Floyd – his food based entertainment shows shall remain unrivalled forever.
Why don’t you put up the photo of Paddy’s first car – that would cheer your readers up!!!
I’ve not seen it… but surely putting that on my blog distracts from his own blog. Perhaps if he blogged about it, I could comment on that
He only blogs when he is on holiday. It is on Lorns’a facebook.
