I went to Jodrell Bank obervatory today with a couple of my friends. We took some snap shots which are available here.

It’s slowly syncing in that in 6 days time I’ll be married! I had an awesome time on the stag do, many thanks to Phil for sorting out such a wicked weekend and to Nic for sorting the amaizing food. I’ve got some photos on facebook, but I’ll through some up here soon enough when I get Matt and Luke to send theirs over.

We’re off to Madrid on Monday on honeymoon, but I’ve hardly even thought about that. The wedding seems to be taking precidence over absolutely everthing! There is so much to sort out, wedding cakes, speaches, chocolates, churches, organists etc etc…. Anyway, the directions I am printing to the reception are done now so I better get back to wedding preperations!

It was the Great Manchester Run today so I went along and took some snaps. There are some for Janet’s hotel, and some just for fun!

 

What a week! New job is going really well so far, and I’m actually looing forward to going to work on Monday morning! Had a busy weekend as usual. Got a couple of good photos from Lyme Park today, and Etherow yesterday. Oh yeah also got some more of the garden too.

Right too much to do… byeee!

I may not be the biggest subscriber to Microsoft products. In fact I reckon I use Linux 90% of the time. But this is something that has two benefits. Firstly it takes some revenue that Microsoft from those adverts they display to us in Messenger, and secondly it gives that money website to charity. Can’t be all that bad.

Aren’t hangovers great? Well I don’t actually have one, but Janet does. We went out with all the scout leaders for our group meal. We went up to the Woodheys in Marple Bridge. I must say they accommodated us very well. They cornered off a whole section of the restaurant for us. The food was great. I had onion soup to start, rib-eye steak for the main and apple crumble for dessert yummy! Of course we had a couple of drinks too! Afterwards we made a visit to the Bamboo Club in Hazel Grove. For all of you who haven’t experienced the Bamboo you’ve certainly been missing a rare treat. It has sticky floors, and is populated with a very entertaining group of people. We met our next door neighbor there, which now means the last two times I’ve been there I’ve met him there. Leading me to believe he goes there a little too often!

Anyway, it’s scout camp next weekend, and we (the leaders) are going to be camping outside. Hopefully it’ll be below 0 and we will get our polar bear badge… I’m so cool!

Hope you all had an excellent Christmas. Mine was okay. As is usual it was a bit of an anticlimax. Although my pressies were very exciting. I got a solio charger from Janet and a lovely Berghaus jacket from my parents. My mum was well impressed with her portable radio.

I ate so much food that I thought I was going to explode! It was all very very tasty, especially my favorite… pigs in blankets! I’m looking forward to our trip to big London town now. We go on Thursday.

I’ve created an anonymous SMS site. I’m not sure whether it’s right to do though. I mean using this site, people can seemingly send SMS messages and make them appear to be from anyone else. Now there are thousands of humorous reasons to use this, or even for sending secret admirer type messages. But it’s also open being used for utter nastiness, setting up ex-lovers etc etc.

I’m just deciding whether to put the site live or not.

Christmas is coming… woo hoo… It seems to mean a load more work and a lot less time to do it in! At work we are moving offices, and moving data centers, all at the same time as doing a major upgrade to one of my main projects.

A plus point is that it’s safari supper this weekend. This involves us all hosting a course of a meal and going to each others houses for different courses. About 40 – 50 people play so you can end up all over the place. We find out where we are going next in evelopes at each location. But don’t tell anyone… it’s a secret! It finishes with a party somewhere, but again… it’s a secret!
