Fun to see you all for the Christmas gettogether!

I had a great time, was good to see you all, although we were not very successful with the Christmas shopping, at least we got ideas for ourselves hey?

Rosspo, the betrayal!!!! What a black day it was with the toffee, I shall have to remember that for your stag do!

Nice mixture of red red wine, and Guiness.

The Machinist

Wow... Christian Bale is really on form with this... he has been damn good in quite a few films so far...

I thought the transformation/weight loss thing was amazing, you couldn't pay me enough to make me want to do that!

However, the idea (not saying what) that makes up the general gist of the film has been done before.

I still think his performances in Empire of the Sun and American Psycho are his best.

A new addition to our family, Welcome Bella!

So there is a new addition to our family, little Bella, who is about 7 weeks old, and as you can see, is just about the cutest thing on the planet!
She is in effect, the spiritual daughter of Bess our beloved old family dog who died at the excellent age of 15 some months ago.

Bella is apparently quite a little character, quite hyper, and active.

I look forward to seeing you can outplay the other when I see her next!

Well I am back from Tuscany

And it has pretty much rained for a week! Over in Tuscany I was in the outdoor pool, catching the beautiful golden light thta the region is famous for. Drinking marvellous coffee, eating wonderful food, and to finish it all off, some exquisite wine.

I love the language, and culture... in short I reckon I could live there.

So here I am, working again (time to win the lottery)!

Had a disturbing dream last night, Nicky had twins!

Woke up in a cold sweat!
