Well, that’s Christmas over for another year. We went to visit my family in Gloucestershire and surprisingly neither of the kids were wheezing too much. Something always seems to bring on their asthma whenever we stay for more than a day but this time we managed to keep it …
Went to Nottingham to do a spot of Christmas shopping this afternoon. It was utterly packed in the Victoria Shopping Centre and we didn’t really manage to find anything except cookies. Note to self - remember to do all Christmas shopping online and in October/November next …
After just three months of having the bathroom finished, three of the four spotlights in there have died. They all went within the last two weeks. The only one still working is the one that had died and been replaced before the bathroom was even finished!
Mike sent me this link tonight. http://www.ecospheres.co.uk/ They look really cool - it’s a shame they’re quite expensive for the large ones. Look at the Trade->Exhibition page, the ecospheres there must be at least a metre or so across - I can only imagine the …

It’s only the 18th of November (or was a couple of hours ago when I took the picture) but we’ve got snow already. Not just a light sprinkling of some powdery stuff, but lots of real huge wet flakes. This is a picture of the top of our fiesta after just a couple of …
Excuse me? It’s not even December, let alone December 25th and already we have Christmas decorations up in the local Iceland store in Beeston and the council have put up the Christmas lights throughout the town.
I’m starting to think that Maxtor disks aren’t as good as I thought they were. I bought 3 about 10 months ago, shortly followed by another one. All the same model and size, and created a linux software raid RAID5 array out of them.
