Dog bites camera
I’ve got a GoPro which I took out for it’s first test. This is a few seconds from a longer video which shows one of the walks I take the dogs on. Not the most gripping of topics but it means Jacqui now knows what we see and what I talk about when we do this one from now. I plan to take the cam on a few routes as weather allows so she can get a getter idea of just how far we can go and what we see.

Storm is not yet 1, Winston is soon to be 7.
(Winston was weighed recently. He is 92kg which is 202lbs or 14.4 stone)
It will be served cold
One day my neighbour might ask for a favour or for me to do anything. I will remember this week and particularly today. The 4th day of constant hammering and the drilling that started before 8:30am. I will remember going round and when he opened his door I said I thought drilling on a shared wall before 8:30am was a little early. “Ya think?” was his ever-so-fucking-cheery-smug-bastard-grinning response. The drilling restarted minutes later.

Moved from Broadband with BE to Infinity with BT yesterday. Keep running Speedtest to grin at the 6X increase I’m getting on this machine. The laptop gets 34mb – the homeplug will be dropping mine. But what I really like is that ping. It used to be 38-43ms but 22 is just excellent. And as I mentioned at work yesterday – irc is just blistering :)

My eldest daughter is a few weeks into her Nursing degree and they have started various placements. Today she worked with a midwife and she was there by chance to see and help with a birth. Got to hold the newborn too as the mother was tended to. She came back with the biggest smile. An amazing experience for her that she will never forget.
