book catchup

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

It has been a while since I listed some of the books I’ve been reading, I think the last one I mentioned was “An Equal Music” by Vikram Seth. I followed this with “Canal Dreams” by Iain Banks which both have musicians as the lead character. Somewhere before those two, I read “Stuart” [...]

The end of 2006

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

This is just a quick post, but with a couple of links. Firstly, I got the best Christmas present ever – David got my blog made into a book at blurb and it has come out really well – it’s perfect for what I want to show Thomas when he is older. It [...]

Just a quick post to show what we got up to on xmas day, ‘pologies to family who read both blogs for cross-posting.

Thomas needed re-settling twice in the night, and I’ve gone back to the “put him back down without [...]

Friday, December 15th, 2006

This isn’t going to be a long post, as I’m rushing around trying to sort the house before Christmas, but we are really enjoying our new place so far.

A quick word about living back in civillisation again, I rang my norwich health centre to organise thomas’ jab, and was told that they couldn’t see him [...]

New Home! + 20 week scan.

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

We have moved AGAIN!

Finally in new home, broadband up and running!

We are in Uxbridge, much nearer to the town centre than we were in Norwich, though the fact that our rent is almost twice as much should reflect this!

Thomas has handled the move really well, and followed his normal bedtime routing the first night we [...]
