Well, after a fortnight of unseasonably warm weather, we finally had the mother of all thunderstorms last night. And just in time, too – the earth was like dust. Having Scotland bathed in sunshine for two weeks in the middle of April is not natural. My mother and father are just back from a trip

Back at work today, and God am I cold. The machine room in which I sit isn’t heated, it’s cooled.

and I have two very excited little boys. Harmony Constance isn’t particularly bothered (being a mere two years old) but Tristan and Matthew are getting a little, err, hyper.

Forty-two minutes until the holidays – hooray! Had a hellish day today. One of our programmers made a slight hiccup in one of his mailing list scripts resulting in one of the recipients receiving 18000 or so emails. Not a happy bunny.
