Saw eldelphia, went swimming with Izzy, ate bagels, watched Burn After Reading, went to Tilgate Park, slept. In something like that order.

Awesome.

Up to lutterworth tomorrow and back again in a day. Not so awesome

So was our 5th anniversary on Friday so this time it was Ali's turn to arrange the weekend.

Izzy with the in-laws... check
Saturday visit castle... check
Arrive at Hotel... check
Hot-tub + gin... check
Seafood blow out... check
Sleep beyond 6am... check

So sweet.

Arundel Castle is amazing, 'The Fish House' is fantastic, but they really need to get the doors on the hot-tubs oh... and intercoms to order more gin. Petworth House well worth a visit.

Love my wife loads.

Apply direct - closes Wednesday

So 1am and I've only just managed to get the wretched Sky Router talking to both the Xbox and the laptop.
Worked fine until 8 weeks ago and then it stopped.
Can't replace the router because Sky won't let you... no way I was going to shell out for a replacement 360 wireless adapator.
What fixed it?
Well... About 20 reboots and about 5 hours of trying every config under the sun.
Still doesn't solve the random - can't have more than one wireless device on the network at a time flunk it's been throwing out the last week but hey one step at a time.

1st Word... 'Daddy'... completely and utterly for the win. OK, mummy is also 'Daddy'. The cats are 'Daddy' and the back door is - OK just about everything is 'Daddy'.

Chuffed. I am absolutely definetly sure 'Mummy' comes next. Gotta be, surely, definately going to me 'Mummy'.

Also got an unexpected present from Izzy today. While in the bath Izzy started offering me something while excitedly shouting, 'ots ziz, ots ziz'. What she normally does when pointing at a new thing she wants us to give a name to like, 'car' or 'Daddy acting like a Monkey'.

I was given a pebbble. Odd I think. A pebble. Fair enough - we do have a collection of stones we have collected while on various holidays by the bath. It must have fallen in... I'll put it back.

Odd I think, again. A soft-stone. This baby-bath can really moisturise!

Hmmmm. Maybe not a stone.

The questiona I still can't answer to myself is, 'why did I need to smell it before I realised what I had in my hand?' And 'why did I have to touch it to my nose to smell it?'. And 'why did it take Ali to suggest that I flush it down the toilet rather than just stand there with it in the palm of my hand?.

Cry for help...

So if your school's toilets were vandalised or due for a refurb how would the school go about purchasing the bogs/hiring contractors to do the work?

Yes its boring and yes the company I work for sells bogs.

Help please

So I didn't get the job. The Director is going to meet with me on Friday to explain how an under-performer with no relevant experience got the job. I await that like the proverbial hole-in-the-head.

There isn't a poo related metaphor to describe this particular moment in time.

I would do this...

but I'm not.

Got job interview Thursday. Nice

So after months of will-it won't-it my bosses job was finally advertised.

Awesome!

Application in today.

Possibly most anxious ever :(

Ostrich sized easter eggs from Hotel Chocolat are perhaps too big.

Perhaps...
