And……breathe.

All back to normal. Back at work today, so the frenzied sweeping and cleaning has come to an end, at least temporarily. It’s Harmony’s birthday today. I can’t believe she’s four already. She was bouncing about the house this morning, hunting for presents. Needless to say, she found some and the boys and her are

The deed is done

Property-mang has been and gone, leaving assurances of glossy brochures and big ugly for-sale signs. We’re now left in a completely sterile and uncomfortable house which we need to keep tidy for people coming to view. What language was that written in? Doesn’t read back like english to me. Anyhoo – a wee treat! I

As it happens……

I didn’t play Sphynx. I was looking along the shelf trying to find it when I stumbled across Metroid Prime. “Oh ho!”, thought I – “haven’t played that in a while”. I didn’t complete it first time round cos I had an unfortunate incident with a third party memory card, resulting in loads of game

I’m loused.

Gaaaaaah. Nearly done – just got to finish off the kitchen and that’s us. I reckon I’ll be leaving that till tomorrow. I’m currently in the process of building a giant chilli, so that’ll no doubt keep us busy for the rest of the night 🙂 Tristan and Matthew have had Luigi’s Mansion and Sonic

In Addendum

The younglings are abed and it all starts all over again. I’m looking at the living room and thinking of what needs to be done. I wonder if it’s too late to do a runner……

Well, today was day two (or one and a half, anyway) of The Big Clean. Started out by tackling the garage this morning and managed to get the clutter reduced by about 60%. Put it this way, you can now get *in* to the garage. A brief go of Sphynx and the Cursed Mummy on

Muhhhh! It’s like a herd of buffalos, man!

As we speak, Debbie is giving it laldy with Dancing Stage Megamix on the PS2. She seems to have developed a very attractive wiggle while doing it. I’ll have to encourage her to play it more often because it makes a very good spectator sport 🙂 Anyhoo, today was the first day of the Great

…..and another thing

Our Tristan worked out how to ride his bike over the summer 🙂 We were very proud – he did a great deal of wobbling about before finally getting the hang of it, but once he did there was no stopping him. Needless to say, two days later it started pouring with rain and, well,

Incidentally, regarding Halo 2

Ok, so we all know it was leaked – probably by someone at the mastering plant. It still strikes me as extremely wierd that some people will quite happily download and play a leaked videogame but would be incredibly peeved if you referred to them as a thief. Course, the leakage is generating a shedload
