March 27, 2004

Got back yesterday morning & could only sleep for a few hours, so didn’t feel too great. Went to Debenhams to start setting up our Wedding List, and then we’ve been painting the kitchen & we’re virtually sorted. Mike was supposed to be coming for the weekend, but he’s having automotive difficulties… So a quiet [...]

March 25, 2004

Got back in to the hotel about 7am, got snuggled down into bed…. and the fire alarm went off at 9:50am. No matter how many times I pressed buttons on my mobile phone, I just couldn’t get it to turn off! So threw clothes on, and waltzed outside to stand in the rain [...]

March 24, 2004

Just for a change, spent a few more days in Greenwich & I’m now in Birmingham – checked into the Crowne Plaza at the NEC, which is rather rather nice. Shame I won’t really get to appreciate it, as I’m going to be working then sleeping, then working, then sleeping. Hope the “Do Not Disturb” [...]

March 21, 2004

After far too long living in Lincoln, we finally made it to (“you can get it all…”) Downtown at Great Gonnerby. Very exciting thing to do on a Sunday, but at least it got the missus out for a drive. Got a Bodum fondue – some friends had one when I was younger, and I’ve [...]

At the same time iPhoto start offering prints & books in the UK via Kodak, BonusPrint have launched an OS X version of their software – it’s a lot cheaper! Got first 3 DVDs from ScreenSelect yesterday, so there’s plenty for us to watch over the weekend. Just waiting for Comet to come swap my [...]

March 19, 2004

Well the night work is wonderful fun, watching someone from Nokia break stuff. Suppose it makes a change from me breaking stuff! I don’t usually get paid time & a-third for that. Didn’t get home until 5am this morning, hopefully I’ll be out of here at a reasonable time tonight. Signed up with ScreenSelect as [...]

March 14, 2004

Big Sony TV turned up yesterday, but the guys wouldn’t install it. Basically because their lorry had broken down, they were late & couldn’t be arsed. So they got an earful from me, and I got the delivery & installation charge refunded. So put the stand together, and the better half gave me a helping [...]

March 11, 2004

Yawn! Very tired (of!) working in Greenwich. Went into London Monday night, but have spend the rest of the time working. Will be here until the wee small hours I’d expect, watching the poor bloke from Nokia do his stuff. Still at least I’ll get a lie-in tomorrow, although it’s really hard to sleep in [...]

Woo-hoo the A1 at Newark is open again, saving me from going out of my way to get south!

March 7, 2004

The laser printer I got for her-indoors seems to have gone down a treat. Perhaps not the most exciting & romantic of presents, but useful! Whilst looking in the shops yesterday, there were no objections at the humongous TVs I was dribbling over, and today she virtually forced me to get one. OK maybe not [...]
