We’re getting there, slowly but surely. I’ve put some pictures of the aftermath of the fire and progress of fixing the house online. You can see them on the entry for 30th August. They are pretty scary, but give you an idea what was happening. We’re settling into our rented house as well as possible

Our insurance company has organised a semi-permanent place to stay while the house is being repaired. It’s an old victorian house in Dalkeith and, as surrogate homes go, it’s very beautiful. In true victorian style, it’s a rabbit warren inside, with lots of high-ceilinged rooms connected by little passages. It’s not home, but it’ll make

The worst type of hotel, in my opinion, is the kind you find yourself in the morning after your house has been gutted by fire. Sadly, that’s exactly the kind of hotel we’re in right now. Smoke alarm went off at 1:30 in the morning. Debbie and I managed to have the kids outside within

So, here I lie, in my kip, listening to the cavedwellers next door Karaoking to “American Pie” at 12:07. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – “Some people are alive only because it’s illegal to kill them.”

I was out doing gardening stuff at the weekend and managed to howk my back. And it’s bloody sore. Ouch.

Tum te tum. Ever have one of those indescribably bad fortnights at work? Rubbish, aren’t they? The company I work for is in the gruesome throes of acquiring another, meaning we have to punt all their sites across to our servers. Trouble is, the new company host on Windows 2000 and we host on UNIX.

Animal Crossing is truly addictive. There is something endearing about all the little characters. You say – OK, Ill just pop in to check my mail – then suddenly you look at your watch and youve been there for an hour. You have to speak to all your friends or else they go in the
