Happy Easter!

Sunday, March 23, 2008

Even though it's been forecast I still cannot believe the appalling weather we have been experiencing during the Easter break. Yesterday was a day of contrasts, heavy snow fall, torrential hail and blue sky, all fitted into the weather cycle like it was perfectly natural. Today we wake up to this... it's still snowing and as the wind has died down it is starting to settle. This isn't as much snow as received by the north of the country but it's enough, It's March! Next week the clocks change to British Summer Time - what's going on?

The break has been relaxing for now. We took Good Friday as a day to relax, this meant I did some clearing out in the house and Richard did some baking.

Yesterday Liz and Colin came to ours for afternoon tea and we had a very civilized time. It was lovely to spend the day with them. We got to hear all about their honeymoon in St Petersburg and I also got to help them set up a few things on their brand new Mac Book.

Putting their new Mac Book next to my iBook does prove how the technology has moved on (although I feel my older iBook is actually lighter (even though it's bigger)). That said the screen and the speed of the new Mac Book was fantastic. You can test these things in store but until you use them for real things, I don't think you can truly get a feel for them.

I like the Mac Book but to be honest for me the screen is a bit too small. I have the 14" iBook and I like the screen size, I think the new widescreen models look a bit narrow when down to 13". I still am keeping with my decision to upgrade to a 15" Mac Book pro.

The wallpaper I created on Friday was picked up by the owner of Sabet.tv, it's a social network for artists so I took the invitation to join. I am really pleased nat the feed back I have received already regarding my work.
Anyway it's been a restful holiday so far. We both felt last night that it was Sunday. Therefore I guess this means we now start another weekend ;0)

It's been nearly a week of feeling absolutely rotten and finally I am back out in amongst humanity.

I have had a bought of Bronchitis which is not too dissimilar to the awful episode I suffered last October.

I am still on a heavy course of anti biotics which is a bit if a nuisance as I have a weekend of celebrations coming up. I cannot complain though as they are making me feel much better.

Tomorrow is my 34th birthday. I cannot believe it has come around so quickly.

We are helping two close friend celebrate this weekend also. After nine years together they are getting married.

As you can tell it is going to be a very eventful weekend.

The weather has been particularly awful today. The majority of the UK was (and still is) battered by gale force winds and heavy rain. I took this shot late this afternoon from the roof at work - it's the only very brief pause in the weather.

It's beginning to feel a little like Christmas!

It's December the 2nd, the year has gone by so quick and I cannot believe it is December already.

Thankfully we arranged to go to Waddesdon Manor with Dan, Matt, Ian and Barbara to see the house decorated (it's becoming an annual event - funnily enough).

This years theme was Hans Christian Anderson and the house was wonderfully decorated again. The trees are always stunning and the themed rooms were lovely.

I have taken some shots of the hallway (the only place you can take shots unfortunately).

Follow the link to see more.

It's just a shame the wether couldn't have been better. I guess it is December though.

We followed our day with Christmas lunch at Dan's - a wonderfully relaxing affair which has put me in the festive mood. I guess I should think about writing our cards now!

Bloody winter

Thursday, December 21, 2006

Ok so I am writing this on the train. The weather is terrible and it's having an affect on public transport.

Christmas is also having an affect on people. I have seen a number of shifty characters around. A cabby was chasing a guy down fleet street and the trains are full of loud drunks. It must be Christmas!

At least after tomorrow it'll be me, my baby and the cats and then we can switch off and ignore the rest of humanity! That just about sums up my Christmas spirit!

I am looking forward to it honest.

Look out for two special Trunk Casts ;)
