Remarkable

In: Personal

I was totally amazed, or to use a northern English phrase, “gob-smacked” on Saturday evening. We were at my brother’s house in Lichfield and I’d gone out and bought his girlfriend’s son, Liam, a birthday present and card. I’d wrapped the present (a small BMW Z4 remote control car which is excellent value for money [...]

School Discos

In: Personal

I had to laugh today; Euan’s only being going to the nursery class of his school for a week and he’s already been invited to his first school disco! Ah, but it did bring back memories of school discos when I was at school (but not when I was just 3 years old!) Good news [...]

Well, after having had a few days of quiet at work as things have slowly picked up from the Christmas holidays, things have just exploded today. But I had a nice surprise yesterday as I saw a posting regarding this blog on the connexions blog (thanks Richard!). As a result I’ve had two new visitors [...]

Bill Nighy, Hitchhiker

In: Personal

BBC NEWS | Actor Nighy for Hitchhiker’s film Cool! I’ve always been a fan of the Hitchhiker series and since seeing Bill Nighy in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet in 2002 and State of Play in 2003 I’ve been a fan of his too.

There’s more than 1 of us!

life of wiley : Upsaid journal How about that? In a vain moment I did a Google search for “Life of Wiley” and came up with another blog that’s not my own! I hope Kristy doesn’t mind, not that I knew her’s existed when I titled this one.

Lots of stuff

In: Personal

Well lots of stuff today: The in-laws went home after looking after Euan for us whilst we were at work on Wednesday and Thursday. As Louise has just said, it’s nice when they’re here but it’s always nice to have the house to ourselves again when they’ve gone. I wrote that letter to the Watford [...]
