  • Morris dancing

    Ahh, the joys of the wonderfully eccentric british culture.

  • Icky sicky

    Pity poor Lisa, because she has tonsillitis!  She’s been really rough with it, too, running high fevers and feeling just completely lifeless…  In fact, I think she’s only had the energy to leave the house twice in three days – and one of those was to visit the doctor! Hopefully the penicillin will kick in…

  • You’re in the country now…

    You know you’re in the country when you look out of your kitchen window and see this in your front garden… and I love it!!

  • I’m wonewy, oh so wonewy..

    If you haven’t see “Team America” then the subject probably wont mean much to you, but it’s really for Lisa anyway… So there. 🙂 Lisa and Luther flew off to America today, going there with her dad on his return journey, and they’ll be gone for three whole weeks!!  OK, so they’ve only been gone…

  • Like father like son

    I’m so proud… My lil’ boy is already playing on Counter Strike. I swear he also uttered his first sentence, “Noob pwnage!”

  • We’re parents!

    At 9:42am this morning, my stonkingly gorgeous wife gave birth to our first child! Luther Jacob Collington came in to the world at 7lbs 1.5oz and measuring around 19 inches. Mum and baby are doing well (dad’s not bad, either) and will be in hospital for a number of days to recover. As our day…

  • And realization hits…

    In less than 12 hours time I should be a daddy.  Less than 12 hours.  12 hours, people!!  Where on earth did the last nine months go, hmm?  Really?  Did I loose them down the back of the couch, so that they’re nesting along with the odd change and a host of biro pens? But…

  • I hate speed trap cameras!

    Why?  Well, not only are they dangerous (because the first thing anyone does when going past one is slam on their brakes and constantly watch the speedo rather than the road), and used more-often-than-not as a money generating opportunity (like when they’re put in supposed ‘black spot’ areas, and it’s a place where I’ve never…

  • …and the house is on the market! (almost)

    I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard in my life on cleaning anything as much as I’ve cleaned our house over the past week.  OK, I didn’t do it all my self, of course… Lisa worked hard and my mum – bless her heart! – helped clean a lot.  In fact, I would swear…

  • What’s in a name?

    We’re stumped! We’ve had a girls name decided for quite some time now, well, years actually. But we don’t have a boys name at all! OK, that’s not quite true. We have half a boys name picked out… maybe. But we really can’t decide on a first name. Any ideas? (Oh, and no, we’re not…
