marathon training, hello winter
As far as I'm concerned, autumn is that week all the leaves fell down. After that it's winter until April, then spring until July ( Read more... ) -
why has LJ melted?
Ive noticed that all the formatting on my newly update app is showing the code rather than the punctuation. Pretty messy to read now

Fledgling company
There was a dream that was Rome, it was so fragile that it could only be whispered so as not to shatter it.
Much of my plans feel like that. Being a developer and having had enough time to stop being gruntled at the last company I worked for and the project therein, I have decided to start writing iPhone apps. I have my first potential client who ( Read more... ) -
Little Egrit
Saw 5 little Egrits on the water meadow today wading through the flood water. Apparently there was a great Egrit a month ago at the bottom of our garden. And we have otters. Going to have to start cataloging the birds I've seen. Seems like a fun hobby.

Go to sleep!!
It's not hard being a stay at home dad. There are no exams, no physical tests. But it's definitely not easy. The constant relentlessness of it. Especially when they have colds and won't say in bed for their nap. I'm getting properly fed up with him today. He has smacked his sister in the face with a stair gate and just keeps screaming. Now they are ( Read more... ) -
Save me from the pub!
I am in a little quandary right now. I cannot afford my course unless I work yet I have the sneaking suspicion that when Faye goes back to work I am going to struggle with full time baby care and dealing with the crap that's dolled out at the pub (last week one dick flashed a laser in my eye - I had it checked I'm no more blind than before). So I ( Read more... ) -
Pass me that student card
Well I have officially become a (part-time) student again. Today after making sure we can afford it, I signed up with the Open University studying a Bachelors and Masters in Engineering yay!! My course starts in February and I've got a lot of maths revision to do before then. I am super excited. I'm not telling any of my family so that I can ( Read more... ) -
Facebook Cull
I've wanted to rid myself of Facebook for some time but for some of my friends in the antipodes it's the best and for one person, only communication tool I have so I am stuck with it. So today I've culled a lot of people off who either aren't really friends or just fucked me over for a lot of money. Perhaps I can spend less time on it now.

Last October I bought a car
And I bought it from a small garage and I feel like I've bought a car from Matilda's dad! So many things keep breaking on it that seemed fine when I bought it. The people who owned it before must have lived on a dirt track with massive pot holes and low hanging tree branches to cause all the damage it's got. Today I noticed the exhaust box has come ( Read more... ) -
I have a butterfly mind
I mean its not so bad that I forget to put my second sock on, or I forget I'm driving (although I have had some intense daydreams whilst driving which have nearly caused accidents); but I can't seem to work on one thing at a time.
I've got a board of projects or project bits up in the kitchen and I've got two things ticked, but they are only bits ( Read more... )
