In Bruges!

In Bruges - Cinema ticket from Cineworld in Sheffield

Kathryn and I saw In Bruges at the Cinema whilst in Sheffield. Grandma and Grandad Peirson looked after Leon.

“Ideas won’t keep. Something must be done about them.” - Alfred North Whitehead.

Kathryn suggested yesterday that I must be unsatisfied with aspects of my business or I wouldn’t keep looking for other business elements. However I would counter with the above quote from Mathematician and Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead that ideas require action!

I finally got around to upgrading to Wordpress 2.5 (visit http://wordpress.org/ to acquire yours).

I also upgraded our resident theme by the wonderful Martin Milhalev to the latest version which included support for Wordpress widgets. [Get one of Martin's themes' from here: http://blog.mihalev.info/].

You never know it might encourage me to update my site!?

Finally it is 2008, I can write off 2007 once and for all!

I awoke from strange dreams.

I had been deliberately poisoned, something I was being encouraged to eat was not what it appeared to be. Yet unbeknownst to my poisoner I was able to make the poison pass from me to another. The poison flew from me in the form of the silhouettes of impossibly black rooks, and thus I was healed.

Even though I am now awake the sound of the Rooks cawing still remains filling my head.

I swam another 70 lengths today. I also became a member of my local sports centre!

I swam 70 lengths today, although I’d intended to do 75. I’ve been told that 64 lengths of the pool is a mile. I was shouted at good humoredly for entering the pool and starting swimming even though there were no life guards yet on duty.

If for some reason this is my last post… please investigate. She probably poisoned me!

We had a good day. It was very good to see my Greek friend again after such a long spell of absence.

We set off too late but I was glad of the extra two hours asleep in my bed afforded to me by Kathryn not waking me up when I had asked her to.

We stuggled to find our Greek host but after some confusion (which included his next door neighbough telephoning him and us driving right past him on the worlds most convoluted traffic diversion) we found him outside the Postal Order.

We all dived in and Alex and Kat had cappuccino whilst I indulged in a Kopparburg, (non-alcoholic of course)!
Alex and Leon seemed to get on well, we must start on Alex’s baby sitting training as soon as possible.

Whilst we waited for our bowling lane to become free we talked with Alex about his Sandwich business, staffing issues, customers etc.all the while enjoying some drinks and “Hot Nuts” Mmmmmm.

The first game was very close, although I won by a healthy margin. The second game seemed to go much faster and although I won that one too, it felt undeserved. Alex played a much better game, getting a Double Strike. Kathryn’s game was terrible and it was clear that her back was hurting her.

Leon stayed awake this time, and was delightful during our bowling. He was very well behaved and appeared to be enjoying himself. It was very cute when he spontaneously clapped when his mommy got a Spare!

I look forward to our next game as hopefully Alex will give me a real run for my money, and Kathryn will be pain free and back on form. We have tentatively agreed to play again in the middle of November.

We went to Pizza Hut afterwards and I ate far too much garlicy pizza! We’ve just got back and tucked Leon up in bed and I’m shattered.

Moving house is always hell!
