Adam & Eve it!

Posted on November 19, 2014 by Gary

First thing this morning (well, actually ‘second thing’ because I set up the fan over the path first) I took Day-z up to the vets and left her there. She wasn’t that keen, giving me a heartbreaking, “Please don’t leave … Continue reading →

Time and motion

Posted on November 14, 2014 by Gary

Work was very quiet this week. Nick at Work was off, gallivanting around the country somewhere and Emma not our Puppy was at the store at Blyth House. This meant there wasn’t the usual chit chat and Monty Python quotes. … Continue reading →

Great streaking comet, Batman!

Posted on November 13, 2014 by Gary

On Monday, I felt quite humbled by the sheer quantity of poppies at the Tower. Today, I woke to the equally amazing news that we had landed a probe on a comet. Imagine setting out to make 888,246 ceramic poppies. … Continue reading →

Posted on November 10, 2014 by Gary

Mirinda organised a staycation for this week. The plan was to work on her DBA in the comfort and warmth of the extension. Given she’d be there for the dogs, I decided to head up to London and see the … Continue reading →

Continuing Birthday

Posted on November 9, 2014 by Gary
