Stealthy Little Ninja 2008-04-08 12:58:01 Last night I put THE CUTEST LITTLE GIRL EVER into bed at about 10:30pm.
At about 01:30am Kate and I woke up to see her sleeping soundly between us. In our bed.
Not a clue how she got there.
The stealthy little ninja.

A Call for Sponsorship for Walk For Life 2008-04-08 08:37:43 On Sunday 1st June, a load of purely altruistic people like me are going for a pub crawl sponsored 10km bimble around London town. Starting and finishing at Potter’s Fields (next to where Red Ken works) it should be a few decent hours worth of walking, chatting, taking in the sites, making merry and most importantly raising money [...]
Dear Frankie, Month 5 2008-04-03 11:57:21 Dear Frankie

Hello monkeynuts, how are you my angel? This is the lowdown of what’s been happening with you recently (a selection of the month 5 photos are here)…
The majority of your fifth month was spent in South Africa. We flew out on the 22nd Feb and you whimpered not during the 12 hour flight there nor [...] Read more:Month

Unfit To The Point Of Embarrassment 2008-04-14 17:30:36 I’m unfit. Unfit to the point of embarrassment.
I’ve done virtually no phys in over a year and I actually feel pretty bad about it.
Other than the odd cycle into work and the rare run, there hasn’t been a hint of phys. I’ve got to get on top of it.
Working in central London where I do, [...]
My Muxtape 2008-04-16 04:50:55 You should have come across muxtape recently. It’s your modern day version of a mix tape. You upload up to a dozen songs which anyone can then play back through a browser. Go have a look and listen to some random peoples’ tunes. Will try and update my muxtape every now and again.

Muse At The Royal Albert Hall From The Choir 2008-04-17 05:54:32 The Roger Daltrey inspired Teenage Cancer Trust had Muse playing at the Alber t Hall this Saturay just gone.

Carol Spratt, Toronto 2008-05-01 11:15:41 Am thinking that maybe I should create a Spratt wiki or forum. Could be more useful than this blog category as unfortunately people can only write in asking for info instead of there being a general collective for Spratt searchers. Anyway, Carol

7 months old. Holy Moly, that’s actually quite a long time that you’ve existed for. Well done you.
“WAAAHIYAAEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY”
That’s the ecstatic sound you’ll make for seemingly no reason at all. It’s not the foolhardy whining sound that you were playing with about a month ago, it’s just you being terribly excited about the statu Read more:Month
The Most Basic Of IT Tips 2008-05-16 09:17:32 I need to get a few things of my chest.
There is a need to point out a few things to the average ‘user’. Let’s clear a few things up here.
The difference between when to click and when to double click?
The first consists of 1 click, this comes in handy for hyperlinks, just like they’ve got on the [...] Read more:Basic
Matt Greenwell’s Stag Do In Bristol 2008-05-14 04:25:28 Last weekend a good bunch of the old Bristol
posse headed out west via Thruxton for Greenwell’s stag do. Really good to catch up with some old muckers I hadn’t seen for too long.
Matt: Uncool
Went to lots of the old haunts: Racks, The Avon Gorge Hotel, the Corry Tap etc. Bristol is a good looking [...]

Washed Out and Wasted Bank Holiday Weekend 2008-05-27 06:34:05 This is how our Great British May bank holiday went:
Few too many drinks after work with new local chums Ben and Corina; additional lack of sleep as baby was up with a horrific sounding cough; didn’t get my arse into gear to go jumping on the only good weather day of the weekend; another not great [...] Read more:Wasted

For My Sins 2008-05-29 06:33:53 Go on, I dare you. In fact I double dare you. Someone around here say “For my sins” again.

Parking in Tower Hamlets 2008-06-17 06:25:57 Saturday morning, woke up in good time to drive down to Sussex for the wedding of Matt and Bry.

Last month I wrote how because you’re now such a mover and a groover, we should no longer take our eyes off you, if we were for example to leave you lying on the bed for a moment. Earlier this month I took my eyes off you for about 2 seconds and THUD. Oh bollocks, damaged [...] Read more:Month
Blogroll 2008-07-09 09:55:36 It’s taken me some time, but I’ve recently realised that the courteous thing to do on one’s tinterweb netspeakery siteage is to have one of those newfandangled ‘blogrolls’.

Axe Me No Questions 2008-07-02 06:21:02 I know you’re all very different, individual, special people but the word you’re looking for is ‘Ask’, NOT ‘Axe’.
