It's offical

I am officially old and middle class.

Yes, you've guessed it.  We've booked our first Center Parcs holiday.  My contract finishes at the end of the month and although there are a few opportunities that my hat has been put in it will be nice to have a short break with Flo and April.

I've only had one holiday this year and that was 3 days in Whitstable. We're going to Longleat.  Flo will love the animals, and there will be plenty to do in the park itself.

Metallica film

It wouldn't be a gig without taking a couple of photos.

This was in the cinema though (sorry Lars).

Here's a photo from Tuesday's gig, British Sea Power.  It's not really my thing but they were very good.  It's always nice to see bands in small venues.

IT'S ARRIVED! (said in the maniacal voice of Victor Von Frankenstein)

My PC has been safely delivered, I won't get to play on it properly till Thursday though which is a shame.

I'm out at a gig later tonight and my daughter selfishly has her 2nd birthday tomorrow so we have the day off.  She said she'd rather feed the animals at the farm than help Daddy unpack his PC.  Also late afternoon i'm back in London (Hither Green) to meet up with Shaheen.  We're off to see the Metallica San Francisco symphony orchestra film.

April can't lift it which is a good sign.

 

Rugby photos vs Whitstable 65-7 win.

The good

The bad (and the ugly) 

PC update

It was due to get delivered on Monday but as nobody would have been at home to sign for it, I'll now get it on Tuesday.

New PC should arrive on Monday!

It's passed all of it's tests and is now with the delivery firm .  I was hoping they deliver over the weekend but looks like that's not the case.

Saying that not sure when i'd get a chance to play with it.  I've got a busy morning on Saturday then rugby in the afternoon.  Followed by visiting my parents back home on Sunday for most of the day.

3 weeks left of work though so at least i'll have something to do when i'm unemployed!

Time to diet?

I lost a few kgs last year in Chicago, I think mostly down to the amount of miles I walked pushing Flo around in her pram all day.  I think i've now put most of it back on.

I can certainly feel my trousers a bit tighter and this morning I burst a button off my suit jacket.  Doh!

Time for a bit of a diet?  Or more exercise?

Well, that was quick

My new PC has been built and is now in testing!!!

I did however spot one error in my order (my fault) I bought 2 solid state drives rather than one solid state and a second bigger normal hard drive.  Doh.  I think the error cost me an additional £200, oops.

I'm guessing I could even get the PC in time for the weekend.  That will be nice.

I finally did it

I ordered my work PC yesterday afternoon.  I should get it within the week.  In order to get the VAT back it had to cost over £2000.  In addition to that I also don't pay corporation as it's an expense and effectively no income tax too so it would be rude not too...

Now to notify the electricity provider that they may have to tap into the auxiliary power stations.

Big Gulp

Saw this on the train home from work on Monday.

I know we're all supposed to drink more water but imagine getting stuck behind her in the queue for the water cooler.  It's at least 2 litres!
