Yesterday we went round to Anne-Marie and Matthew’s house to have pancakes (along with a few other people including Sarah, Alison, Ellie, and Alex). It was quite a fun evening, they’re always an entertaining bunch to meet up with 🙂 Anyway, the conversation went onto Skype for a while, which I hadn’t tried, so when…

So… it’s been a while since I did a proper “The Weekend” style post! I thought I’d post one up because I’m sure that you’re missing them 😉 *ahem* On Friday evening, we didn’t do very much, but I don’t really need to say that any more. On Saturday, Phil’s parents came up for the…

Why is it utterly impossible for any smoke detector manufacturer to make a smoke detector which makes it easy to change the battery? It seems like almost every single one I’ve had to change the battery of has been an epic struggle. Take last night, for example. Our smoke detector came with the flat –…

Sorry I haven’t written much recently – it wasn’t the most fantastic weekend for me: on Thursday evening, as I was driving back home, my power steering went AWOL. I managed to get home OK, but driving a car which is meant to have power steering without power steering is actually quite difficult. This meant…

… or does Internet Explorer’s “ClearType” facility only serve to make things less clear? I actually find it more difficult to read plain text in IE7 than in Firefox (or other browsers). Maybe it’s just my screen (and yes, I know you can turn ClearType off although it’s on by default), but it just seems…

Some of you may know that Philippa and I are currently doing part of a theological course called the “Moore Course”, which involves meeting up every other Wednesday evening and going through the material. Anyway, during our last meeting we somehow managed to end up talking about lyrics Christian songs. Not so much the actual…

Firstly, I apologise for not updating much this week. We’ve had the week off, and so I’ve been out and about a bit more than I usually would! Secondly, and finally, here is an overview of the week (aren’t I nice?) I would also like to point out that I can’t remember everything we did…

Yes, it’s another “The Weekend” post, except that I didn’t entitle it “The Weekend” 🙂 So… what have we been up to the past few days? Well. On Saturday (note that I skipped Friday evening this time — although having said that, Philippa did go and see “Miss Potter” which was apparently very good), we…

Just a quick note to say that I have upgraded this blog to WordPress Version 2.1. I would list some of the new features and stuff here, but to be honest you might as well just visit that link and look at it for yourself! Suffice it to say that I think WordPress upgrades are…

So… I was thinking the other day. I’ve listened to a lot of good classical music lately (all on CD unfortunately, although we are going to see the University of Essex Choir tomorrow, well actually ‘today’ by the time this post gets published…) Anyway. I got round to thinking about some of these classical chillout…
