Thursday… again!

Where is the time going? Half way through the year already and it doesn’t seem 5 minutes since I was gingerly driving up snow covered roads on the way to work, and now we are swltering in the heat! Must be the heat confusing me as the next ECP isn’t for another 2 weeks because […]

Sunday… Overdue for an update!

An update is long overdue, but first, as it has been quite a while since I posted a picture of Olivia, here is one taken a couple of weeks ago. She is very much a little girl, now aged 21/2 years old, and very mobile, very determined and quite able to make herself understood, with […]

Tuesday… another little anniversary

Not momentous, but it is five years ago today that broadband came to my village after 6 months of campaigning! For those that don’t remember, prior to 2003. broadband was limited to large centres of population, and those of us that lived in the sticks only had dial up internet access either through a normal […]

Sunday.. warm and sunny!

Hard to believe that this time last week I was 7,000 miles away, looking at snow covered hills! I have pretty much got over the time zone change – I always find travelling forwards across time zones more tiring, but I have had a few fairly restful days. I am back at work tomorrow, although […]

Sunday… New experiences

Yet again it has been a week since I last posted – and another busy one! Firstly I am sorry the blog hasn’t been updated, but I have had little opportunity to connect to the internet – and when I have, the server has been unavailable because of the ongoing network snags. I have now […]

Monday… again!

Where did the last week go? I suppose it is a sign that life is getting back to normal, and perhaps a little more mundane, that the frequency of the posts is decreasing slightly! On the health front, the only remarkable event was my trip to Guy’s for my bone density scan, which took all […]

Sunday… So far so good!

So far the sniffles haven’t returned, although I seem to be coughing a bit more. However the really good news is that my appetite has returned. Bacon sandwiches have made a welcome return to my diet, as has ‘wet’ food such as Cottage Pie – and of course sponge puddings with lashings of custard! (I […]

Friday… again!

Where did the week go? After last week’s more prolific blogging, this week has been quiet. However, while it has been quiet I have been reasonably busy. On the one hand, Felicity is organising a repeat of last year’s wedding fair, so my IT skills (10 have been put to use, and on the other, […]

Tuesday… Power to The People!

If any of you tried to look at the blog last night, you will have received an error message as the server was down for about 4 hours from 7pm.. In fact we had a power cut, just as we were about to go out for the evening. We do get brief interruptions to our […]

Sunday…all sorted!

And finally everything is back as it should be! Full raid, disk layout fine, all burning and turning! I was talking to fellow blog master Mark about it, and he commented that this episode was hardly a good advert for Linux, which rather got me thinking about the last couple of weeks. The initial failure […]
