Those Were The Days, My Friend.

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

When I was young (let’s say around 19 years old) I used to ride to work every day as I had no car. I used to do 16 miles every day, up and down large hills. Strangely, 12 years on, I don’t seem to still have that same level of fitness. Yesterday’s journey to work […]

Olly Loses It

Friday, September 28th, 2007

Last night we had a BGN and Pete’s place. Since I was last there it looks like he’s decorated the entire house - Helen has him well trained! Unfortunately Raj couldn’t make it (I know, we couldn’t believe it either) but we did demolish a mountain of pizza in his honour. Olly lost the plot […]

Brat Build: Complete

Monday, September 17th, 2007

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am at the prospect of building and racing this bad bad boy. Expect photos and updates as the days go by - they are our lunchtime and after school projects!

Aches And Pains

Sunday, September 2nd, 2007

Yesterday I spent 5 hours cleaning the car. I know that makes me sound like a right saddo but it hasn’t been cleaned in six months so it needed a lot of attention. I even hoovered out the interior which still had pine needles from our Christmas tree. Yep - I really do take pride […]

I Was Afraid Of This

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

When I was a student in my second year of college (and my first year of marriage) I entered the world of Playstation ownership. The first two games I owned were Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy VII. GT is possibly the best driving game ever created and I spent may hours racing when I should […]

Awesome Weekend

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Yay - this weekend I didn’t have to work. Yep, three whole days without staring at a computer screen! I managed to have two post 10am lie-ins (I can’t remember tha last time I slept past 8am) and feel great as a result.
Met up with Chris, TJ (I haven’t seen or heard from since 2005) […]
