Month: April 2010

Hi there, It’s Friday – or at least it is as I type this – so it must be time for another weekly blog post huh? [ insert long pause here ] This week has been a bit odd. It feels a bit like I’ve been treading water. So much seems to have come in – at home and at work – that I can’t seem to swim fast enough to make any progress (Ed: keep flogging that analogy). There’s nothing major / serious – although we did have a bit of a worry about the dog’s health – just a continue flow of stuff that needed to be sorted out. But… it’s a long weekend now – thanks to the […]

Hiya, Earlier in the week Some weeks I start my blog posts way before Friday. Sometimes there’s something I want to talk about or a point I feel that needs to be made. Other times it’s a case of something to do – an exercise in writing for no reason other than the fun of it. I had had a few thoughts tucked away for this post, however, having failed to write them down, they have floated off into the ether. So it goes sometimes.  With luck, they come back. In a way, I like to keep an idea in my head and turn it over, like the sea would a pebble, until the rough edge have been worn smooth. Then again, […]

Hiya, The slightly empty blogger post box looks back at me. I can think of stuff to write about, but it’s beginning it. I mean, I don’t know about you, but I do seem to wheel out the same starter lines. (Ed: You’ve just said one there 😛). Anyways, enough with the written warbling – to business! 🙂 What’s been going on? Well, Mrs Jones had a business trip away – so I was house husband for a time. To be honest though, I did rather enjoy it and it beats sitting, staring at a computer screen trying to coax someone else’s system design into life. Luckily the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones’s return trip was not affected by the ash […]

Hey all, The last few days seem to have gone by in a bit of a blur. Time has revved up and stood still. Work-stuff, home-stuff and trans-stuff all floating around at once. What do I need to do? What to wear next week? Where am I going next? I think I’m over the jet lag (Ed: I should think so too, lazy mare), so I’m back in the groove of stumbling out of bed after another late night. Perhaps turning in pre-PM would help, but never mind eh? Apologies for the lateness of this post. I arrived home on Friday to find that our Internet connection was dead to the world. Oh well, I guess I’ll be catching up […]

Hi folks, So much for Final Destination – thankfully 🙂 How’s things with you? All good I trust! Yes, I’m back and just about over the jeg lag. The flight was rather long and yes, we were both nervous. Yet, the Fates smiled and nothing serious happened. Yay! Everyone was fine at home and there was smiles all round when we got back. Indeed, a couple of midweek telephone calls seemed to find Wee Man in unusually high spirits, I don’t know what Granny had been feeding him, but it can’t be legal. (Ed: Child Services, if you’re reading this, that was a joke). Much as I enjoy a bit of travel – except maybe flying – it was good […]
