Twenty weeks
Halfway there :)

do not pass go

Just gently recovering from the Monopoly Pub Crawl which we successfully completed yesterday - 26 pubs, including the stations. The event? Mr Paul Rushforth's Stag celebration, of course!

Evidence here: Monopauly

Well done too all who attended. Must do it again sometime...er...

new small lightly alert

Splendid news! Solveig is 3 months pregnant! Had the scan on Friday, all seems well and here is a rather small and blurry picture:

Bring on the cravings...

and we're back

Apologies for the lack of posting. All sorts of reasons. None of them very believable. Bah.

However, since I last bothered you, we have been to Bruges (very nice, worth a visit, try the beef stew)

Also just got back from Ibiza (very chilled, stay in the north of the island, eat tapas)

And it was Alix's birthday BBQ but I forgot the camera :)

sorry

May the Fourth be with you.

(Ouch.)

full house

Great poker evening round at Mr. Flush's on Friday.
We were joined by The Daddy, The Gent, Yip-Yip, New Boy and Mr. Christmas. You know who you are. And I want my money back. Bah.

snow and tell

We had blizzards today, interspersed with brilliant sunshine.
Barmy weather.

top secret

I've got a new job, but I'm not allowed to tell you what, where or with whom.
Not the most exciting blog post ever but hey, it is February...

[update] Mr. Toby Thorrington has told me that I have to be "more upbeat" so I can now tell you that I am working at Arbuthnot Securities with a jolly nice bunch of people and I have a great role in this consensus-challenging broker [/update]

another year older...

...another year, er, wiser.?

34 today. And I don't look a day over 47 (surely "74" - Ed.)

hoggy hoggy hoggy

After one of the most exciting Test Matches of recent years, England took a 2-1 lead in the series against South Africa at Jo'burg. Despite losing key overs to rain and "bad light" (Steve Bucknor's dirty glasses?) we saw 147 from Strauss, matched by 161 from Gibbs, topped by 180 from Trescothick and finally, just when you thought England had declared too late and it was heading for a draw, Matthew Hoggard stepped up and took 7-61 giving him a Test-best 12-205 and England the victory. Woot.
