Bah! I’ve scunnered me back!
I was out doing gardening stuff at the weekend and managed to howk my back. And it’s bloody sore. Ouch.

Twiddle-dee-dee
Tum te tum. Ever have one of those indescribably bad fortnights at work? Rubbish, aren’t they? The company I work for is in the gruesome throes of acquiring another, meaning we have to punt all their sites across to our servers. Trouble is, the new company host on Windows 2000 and we host on UNIX.
Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing is truly addictive. There is something endearing about all the little characters. You say – OK, Ill just pop in to check my mail – then suddenly you look at your watch and youve been there for an hour. You have to speak to all your friends or else they go in the
We’re taking in a refugee……
We were having a rummage around on Ebay (no, we haven’t learned from the Ducky adventure) and stumbled across a guy who deals in Terrapi slavery 🙁 He keeps all kinds of Terrapis in captivity, to sell as collectors items and they never get played with or cuddled or anything. Anyway, while looking through the
Cor blimey – I’m back at work.
Well, truth be told, I was back at work yesterday but it was a bit mad. One of the boxes in a cluster that we host decided to go a bit nuts and had to be resucitated. Problem is, the beggar is hosted at the other end of the country, so it all had to
We all have the dreaded lurgi.
Poor Matthew had it worst – a raging fever that refused to break resulted in him spendingmost of Saturday in the Royal Hospital for Sick Children. The problem with these viruses is that they go through everyone like wildfire, but us parents just have to get on with looking after ill children as if we
Time (mis)management
There just aren’t enough hours in the day, are there? I mean, you get home from work, try and spend an hour with the children before they’re passing out with exhaustion, get them all scrubbed and off to bed. You sit down with a nice cup of tea, play a video game for half an
Ducky ducky duckduck
Well, Matthew has decided that Ducky is the best mode of transport known to mankind and he reckons we should sell the Mazda and use the pennies to buy presents for Ducky. He also thinks that ducky is some form of little boat. In other news, Animal Crossing arrived yesterday. Tristan, Matthew and I have
Is that the rain I hear?
Well, after a fortnight of unseasonably warm weather, we finally had the mother of all thunderstorms last night. And just in time, too – the earth was like dust. Having Scotland bathed in sunshine for two weeks in the middle of April is not natural. My mother and father are just back from a trip
Oh no! It’s the penultimate day of my holiday!
Eep! It’s been horrendously busy! Well, kinda. Spent a lot of time faffing about in the garden, doing some planting and tending, drinking beer, and so on. Picked up Zelda: Wind Waker and Super Monkey Ball 2 to review for Boomtown and managed to finally get the Sims review written. Gahhh. Zelda is simply the
