1) Managed 10 mins on the treadmill without too much impact (literally!) to my foot & ankle.  Promising ...

2) The girls had lots of good stuff to show me when I got home - new acquisitions, but more importantly they'd worked hard on some marvellous creations, with no parental assistance

3) Had fun again fiddling with my laptop, the weekend's woes far behind me.  Couldn't get the BCD to enable booting into the openSUSE installation, but did get Oracle VirtualBox installed, which seems to be a miraculous (and free!) bit of software

10/04/2012

1) Had coffee with my very-recently-ex boss.  Was good to chat as friends again

2) Home by 7 so saw the kids for more than just a quick kiss goodnight. 

3) My computer is fixed!

Mind the gap ...

I've been a bit lax ... here are some things that happened in the meantime:

- The mist over the pond just outside the station was stunning, rising as high as the surrounding trees
- The ladies in Pret were on good form - lots of banter about them dressing up for easter
- A fun Good Friday family service
- A good time had at Emmett's Garden, incuding me getting a decent play with my new lens, and new close-up filters
- Great banter at Grandma and Grandad's.  Grandma did her classic "everyone's wine glasses are empty" meaning "my wine glass is empty".  There was also recipe controversy (when isn't there?)
- Chillin' @ home
- Puss in Boots FTW!

1) A woman at London Bridge station broke into a run. I thought she wad going to collide with someone ... but then they broke into huge smiles and hugged as old friends do.

2) Parking up my scooter was a dream thanks to my new scooter tent!

3) Saw both kids for kissy-cuddles, which was a pleasant suprise given I didn't get back 'til 8.

1) Rocked out in church!

2) Did some beading and they turned out fairly close to my intention, which was good.  Also had some joy testing the Deko gel for the first time.

3) Plato wins at the first BTCC meet in his MG, to lead the championship.  The scriptwriters couldn't have managed a better start to the season.

1) The girls had cute turned to 11 at times today!

2) New scooter "house" finally erected.  It was a pain in the posterior to put up but it's going to be much more pleasant getting going in the morning and parking up in the evening in future.

3) Phantom of the Opera may be high camp, and over-blown 80s pop ... but my, it hits the high notes harder than anything else, doesn't it?

30/03/2012

1) Made the 6:45 by seconds ... but Autosport on the train got me chilled out again.

2) Presentations went well today.

3) Saw the girls again this evening.  They love their new tennis rackets!
