Day 2 of the no smoking

After 20 years, I am giving up smoking. I am up to day two. I have used the niquitin minis things, and so far they seem to be working. The only problem is that they make all food taste worse that it did when I smoked (everything now tastes of mint!).

Oh well, onward and upward. I am reliably informed by friends that it only gets worse from here on in. To quote the annoying prat on the Apprentice, I will just have to "Roll with the punches".......

More in a day or two!

Tempus Fugit

Time flies when you are having fun. Please can someone let me know how you are supposed to get the time to do these blogs? I spend my time working, with my wife and boys, and twitter etc.

Now my mind (and my 5 year old boy) have told me that giving up smoking is a good thing to do.

Sooooooooo, lets start!

Ch, ch, ch, changes

Life has changed a lit since the last post. The car failed it's MOT again, and this time was scrapped! I have a new little boy, Gabriel, born on the 5th December, and a new house.

Life is good, there are opportunities around the corner, so the year is going to start on a high. Unfortunately, it means that I need to sell my car, so have decided that We Buy Any Car (they of the really annoying adverts) are the likely recipients of the car. I am going to take a hit on it, but really cannot face selling it privately.

Anyway, hope you are well, and still visiting the forum (I must admit to being a little lax on this score, as the new house and the new baby are taking quite a lot of time).

Take care, and happy cruising.

Blimey, a year has passed!

Sooooooo, it seems that I am not particularly good at this blogging lark!

Changine times

Well, things have changed a lot since the last posting. I start a new job in August, The forum has been threatened by socially inept idiots, and my car has failed its mot (badly).

At least I have had a great weekend. Started with the failed MOT, but then I went with Leo to the "Dads group" at the local nursery. Time spent on my own is always a pleasure, even when he is acting like a 2 year old!

Today, we have been to the local farmers market, full of local produce that outsrips the supermarkets quality in spades.
An afternoon spent at the farm was cut short, as thunderstorms were likely to hit, so we decided against the pre-planned bbq.

As it was, Lexx made a great rosy veal and mushroom pasta dish that was great.

To top it all, I briefly spoke to Vic tonight. Always a pleasure.

Take care all
