Remember, remember

This past Saturday, we decided to take the kids to The Rec for the first time to see the council's 'official' firework party. They both loved it, although Ava did somehow manage to fall asleep on Fi's shoulders somehow. I shot a small video with my iphone: Take a look
This is a test. Does it work? IPhone app ahoy!

A welcome slow Sunday at home. Slow-roasted pork in the oven and Lego on the table. Ace.

The end of 1st Birthday Party carnage at the Martins'. Cracking afternoon but glad I don't have to clear up.

Thanks to the proud parents!

Another round of test-driving has been going on in the background of all my work of late. This is the 'Copper Red Mica' bonnet of the Mazda 6.

Good colour, good car. Contender.

There have been a few too many warm lounging shots in my 365 already, but here's another one.

I'll make no apologies for today's though. Firstly this is our new chair. We've had a spare corner in the living room for a while now, but now we're sorted. Secondly, I'm completely exhausted, and this exactly what I intend to do for the rest of the day.

If I shoot a sadder picture than this year, I'll be disappointed. In one way or another I have been working on trying to get this system upgraded for 5 Years, so this is the end of a very long road for me. It's also a very long day, contributing to the quality of this picture.

Done .

18/365 Perhaps not just yet, but...

There's nothing like something good in the post to cheer you up. A nice royalty cheque from the book has sorted me out for the day. Mutual back-slapping for all involved.

Still available incidentally

For some reason, when you ask Harrison to be a statue, he stands like this without fail.

Here's my slightly camp tribute. Oh dear.

15/365 Just like the good old days

It's been a turbulent year for Bath Rugby. Erratic in all competitions prior to Christmas, they seemed to have turned a corner for 2011. Two wins from two this year before today's match against Aironi (not 'Airioni', annoying man behind me), but the performances haven't been convincing.

Today we came out all guns blazing. The Italians aren't the toughest competitors we'll meet this season, but an eight try thrashing was just the performance we needed.

Long, tough but very rewarding week at work. Completely ready for the weekend now. A bit more craziness early next week and then we're done with BW Upgrade.

Another shot from my iPhone's Camera + app.

Thankfully these crutches aren't mine. Unfortunately, they are my Mother in Law's. She's been visiting from Spain over Christmas and the New Year. Yesterday she took a tumble in our back garden and hurt her ankle. Turned out to be a broken leg.

Could be an extended visit.

Yep, I'm working in my dressing gown. But then, wouldn't you at 3am? Step one of the upgrade work is almost done.

Phew

One of those IT nights. Upgrading systems is a round-the-clock job. 90 minutes sleep and I'm back on it.

Yawn.

Bath's first home game of 2011 today. A shakey win against Leeds but a win nonetheless.

The future of The Rec is still uncertain. There are plenty of better stadiums around the world, but there can't be many with a better view.

Having a day in Bath with the Wife, making this a 3 day week. I was intending to bring along the 5d Mk2 but just plain forgot. It'll have to be another iPhone shot today, this time courtesy of the Camera + app.

Chequered day, chequered trousers. Busy at work right now preparing for a project go-live next week and it seems i'm coming down with another bloody cold. Time to bring out the 'leisure pants' I think.

A brief afternoon trip to Alice Park to blow our cobwebs away. The kids are still recovering from a nasty bout of flu over Christmas, so it doesn't take too much to wear them out.

This is my 3rd attempt at the 365, with both previous attempts failing at around 2/3rds distance. it'll nag me forever more if I don't finish the blasted thing.

Day 1 at Dyrham Park. A good start to 2011
