Christian and the lions

Christian played a football match this afternoon at Linton College against 'The Aztecs.' When I saw the fixture list for his team - Cherry Hinton Lions - I thought we might be off to Mexico City for the away leg but sadly not. Linton is just a few miles south east of Cambridge, so only took us about... Sign in to see full entry.

Racing to Newmarket

We're off to Newmarket shortly for a nice Saturday morning browse. It's so nice to have no time constraints isn't it? Ivan has taken himself off to London for the day with some new friends from sixth form college. He's off to take pictures of a 'circular' theme so is starting at the Eye and then,...

What a case!

Claire and Ihave been struggling through her Year 7 Maths homework this week. It was all to do with number sequences. We started off with odd numbers and how their products could be easily converted from square arrays. At first this looked as though it was written in Esperanto but we figured it out...

Financial Times

I had to attend a meeting at the Financial Times (FT) today to discuss some proposed changes to ft.com - their successful online product. The information they imparted was vaguely interesting to my company and will certainly have an impact; so, worth attending. I got the Northern Line from King's... Sign in to see full entry.

Just can't get down to it

Working from home in Cambridgeshire today. I'm lucky enough to be able to do this quite often which saves on travel into and out of the office. Some days I get up, logon and all is fine. I catch up on lots of stuff and am able to think quietly and take stock over work issues. On other days, like... Sign in to see full entry.

Successful evening

Well, our evening finished at 2.00 this morning after some beautiful food and gorgeous, velvety red wine. I always finf these things quite pretentious if you're not careful and any whiff of formality normally dulls my senses completely and I find such occasions, well, dull. Our guests are old...

Dinner Party tonight

We ran into an old friend in the supermarket last week. Sounds vaguely like a Clash song doesn't it? Anyway we hadn't seen each other since we moved to our new house in Burwell last summer so we suggested he and his wife come over for dinner at some point. The following day he 'phoned and invited...

I can see

I haven't been around for a while because we've been on an amazing holiday in the Maldives, which I'll fill you in on with pictures etc Work was very depressing when we returned; a bit like January blues, but it's getting better now. Or, rather, I am getting back to equilibrium. Hopefully I can get... Sign in to see full entry.

Close shave but growing apart?

A few days ago I showed our eldest son how to use my electric shaver. It may sound like a simple thing but, if you've never used it before... He's sixteen and has been trimming various wayward hairs on his chin for some months now. That day, we bit the bullet and his days of odd, extraneous hairs... Sign in to see full entry.

I made it

through the day (dangerously close to a Barry Manilow song there!). Although I feel physically and mentally stronger now, the barometric pressure hasn't really lifted and still not firing on all cylinders. Claire has been away on Guide Camp all week and we're expecting her home at any moment. I... Sign in to see full entry.
