“Information, truth and lies,
It’s all yours and it’s all mine.”

Hiya, As a break from the norm, I thought I’d write about some geek stuff. Don’t worry, there is a trans element to this 🙂 Tracey (Chameleons) was kind enough to give me a copy of the photos from last week’s photo session and that may be wonder about keeping said information safe. Clearly, there are on-line backups such as Microsoft SkyDrive, iDrive and Google Drive to name but a few. All are fairly easy to use, although Google Drive seems to be holding my interest at the mo. I know a number of folk swear by DropBox, but I’ve yet to have the pleasure. One for another time perhaps. For those of you know in the know, these remote […]

Hi folks, Larks, how to start this one? There we go, just type the first thing that comes into my head and off we go eh? That normally does it and I wouldn’t want to spoil you by actually writing something witty and clever now would I… although it would be nice. 😉 I’m a bit torn (Ed: no, not like that) over today’s post. On one hand, I sort of want to talk about the week being a bit pants (topped off nicely by a failed attempt at Invasion), but I’m conscious that to dwell on the negative isn’t particular good for my mood, nor does it make for interesting read. So, if I’m not going to complain about […]

“You can’t sing,
you can’t play,

You’ll go a long way.”

Hi all, Ah, back to work after a long weekend and very pleasant holiday. Still, the week has been both short and good to me.  The good stuff is that we’re all well and whatever genetic clock exists within us to kick spring cleaning off, has well and truly chimed at Chez Jones. Okay, the house isn’t exactly tidy, but it’s tidier than it is usually! The thing is, it’s not like I can blame the kids because Little Miss’s bedroom is a model of minimalism – honestly, she doesn’t get that from me or the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones. I think that’s Grandma’s genetics at work! 🙂 No, I’m a messy so-and-so, but I have a clutter limit and the aforementioned internal […]

Leave our lives behind”

Hi folks, Not only is it the weekend, but here in the UK, it’s a long break two: the Easter Bank Holiday. Well, for those of us who don’t have to work it. The Ever Lovely Mrs Jones was rather clever when she planned a short break for the Jones Massive, so we’ve had a week away and now we’re back to a long weekend. Just time to cram in the usual stuff of food shopping, dog walking, child entertainment, family visits and – if we’re lucky – a decent amount of laying about, reading books. I’m hoping there will be quite a lot of the latter. Ahh, setting my sights on the dizzy heights once again eh? 🙂 The […]
