Went shopping in Lincoln (not exactly the retail capital of Europe..) & the wifey got me a new watch as an early Birthday present. Only 2 months to go, hint hint for anyone who’s forgotten.
Starbucks was a tad busy, so had a nice coffe in Costa. Thought we’d stumbled on a UK equivalent of the [...]

February 24, 2005Woo-hoo, and e-mail from Apple. Must be my Mac mini dispatch notice:“Dear Apple Store Customer,” That’s ME!“Thank you for shopping at the Apple Store.” It was a pleasure.“The demand for the product you ordered has been higher than anticipated. We are shipping as quickly as possible, but cannot meet the ship date we previously estimated [...]

February 23, 2005New Tori Amos album – The Beekeeper, and I don’t even have to brave the snow to buy it. You’ve gotta love iTunes, and at only £7.99 it’s better than waiting a week for CDWow to post from whatever far away low tax place they use. OK so no case/sleeve notes but the first thing [...]

February 22, 2005It’s like Christmas, just 2 months late. Lots of snow, not so nice on a Monday morning though although it does wake you up a bit!
Kittens went into the vets today to ensure that they don’t produce any more kittens. Think they’re feeling a bit sleepy after the operation, perhaps a bit fragile. Also got [...]

February 20, 2005No pictures of the Apple Store, but here’s one of me being a big kid infront of FAO Schwartz!

February 17, 2005Nearly forgot the other highlight of NY – the Apple Store in Soho! Couldn’t find it the first time, as the intersection in the White Pages was wrong. So close, yet so far! Had a good look around, but they had no iPod Shuffles in stock. I’m still waiting for my mac mini, but the [...]

February 16, 2005So NY was great, apart from the flight back. Got upgraded at the hotel (god bless Platinum stauts!) to a nice suite, and spent a couple of days going around all the touristy places. Was a tad on the nippy side though, especially sat on the top of a bus!
Hayden Planetarium was possibly the [...]

February 8, 2005It’s Pancake Day, so break out the Jif Lemon & the Delia Smith recipe books. Think we’ll be having cheese & ham, then mini-Mars bar ones, yum! As long as they don’t stick to the ceiling…
220g plain flour, 4 eggs, 400ml milk, 150ml water, bit of salt. Whisk until your arm hurts, cook, eat. So [...]

February 6, 2005Went to Peterborough to see my sister’s new baby yesterday. Took a while to get out of Lincoln, as someone had jumped off the bridge over the A46 so the road was shut.
Trying to decide whether to goto Singapore for 2 months on what can only be described as a all expenses paid jolly, or [...]

February 4, 2005So here’s my ’syrup’ (top bit of northern slang from Roy). Everyone thought it looked disturbingly real! Might wear it for work. Bet the kittens will love playing with it…
