We witnessed silently

We watched the second part of Silent Witness last night; Christian and I had no idea what was going on but Susan cracked who the murderer was within ten minutes of the re-start. She had pieced together all of the clues and, with a little leap of faith, came up with the 'real' picture. Wouldn't it be... Sign in to see full entry.

Positive thoughts

Susan and I completed the house clean yesterday, in between fetching Christian and a friend to and from Cambridge: their Christmas money was burning serious holes in pockets I think! Ivan set off back to college in the early afternoon and 'phoned us to say he had got back safely which put our minds... Sign in to see full entry.

One last day together

We're enjoying our last family day together of this holiday period. Susan and I drove down to Heathrow last night to fetch Ivan home. We also brought another band member back to Cambridgeshire with us. It seems that The Arrangement went down well in Hong Kong and the New Year celebrations sound as... Sign in to see full entry.

Preparing for 2011

I fetched Christian home from a friend's house in the nearby village of Wicken last night. I hadnt realised that outside of our own village the fog had really come down again and visibility was probably about 8 to 10 feet. Luckily our Volvo has pretty powerful fog lamps so got back safely. We then... Sign in to see full entry.

Catching up

Susan and I have spent much of today catching up on our accounts, ready to unleash our businesses on 2011! It's been OK, just a bit dull as admin often is, but we both feel in better mental shape than when we woke this morning and knew it couldn't be put off any longer! I went for a short walk in...

Everything was great and everything is great!

Thanks for all your nice Christmas wishes. We had a fantastic few days celebrating the wonder of Christ's birth. Lovely presents, food and drink and many films and games. I can't remember a more enjoyable Christmas with the family and it seems to have gone on forever! The children have had friends... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Christmas

Its Christmas Eve at last! I've had a lovely time this week, playing games (still on a winning streak!) and just spending time with the children. When we play games together I really see how much they have progressed. They are more articulate and mentally so much more together. They seem to be... Sign in to see full entry.

Six o'clock: time for Tesco

Yes, I'm afraid that Susan and I got up at six o'clock this morning in order to do our Tesco shopping. We normally do it online and have it delivered but all of the slots for this week had gone some time ago, apparently, so we decided to go to the nearest large store in Ely. It's only about twenty...

Working today

I'm working on client material today though nobody appears to be in the office. Do you ever get the feeling that those actually turning up for work are there physically but mentally miles away? It reminds me of the last week at school when we were allowed to take games in to play. I thought at the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hat-trick

I'm happy to report a hat-trick of wins yesterday! After the narrow win at Scrabble against Susan I played the three children at Canasta and managed to win that one too, while listening to the Diana Vickers album which is really good. We then learned that mine and Christian's and Ivan's favourite... Sign in to see full entry.
