happy birthday to me

Some non my-birthday updates first.

Busy weekend last weekend, travelled up north for the mighty boosh on Friday in horrendous traffic on the M6. Thought the boosh were marvellous though, i laughed a lot. I think Rudy Manchego was my fav bit. Shame there was no Uncle Pedro action though.
Saturday we went out for some birthday curry action. The mango in my chutney* had her birthday just last week so we had a nice family evening out at the blue diamond who do a mean chicken rogan josh.

Also last week got us** a new freeview PVR type thing. It's got a big hard disk and two tuners which means you can record two things at once and watch something else at the same time! Ace even more time in front of the TV.

Birthday presents I didnt buy myself:

  • SE Bluetooth headset! Yay no more illegal phone calls on the motorway to the tyres on my truck***
  • Boosh t-shirt!
  • CD, and some ace DVDs (including Haunted Honeymoon!)
  • White water rafting! Woo-Hoo!
  • A D&D board game which I am far too excited about (I hope it has a D20)
  • Loads of other nice things - I am spoilt!

* sorry MJ I know I'm knicking your thing but I like it, it's not trademarked is it?
** when I say us I obviously mean me
*** sorry I did it again

Windows Live

now in beta but seems a bit flaky to me. doesn't seem to support any more than the old www.start.com and certainly doesnt seem to handle rss subscriptions as well

long time no update

been too busy for this malarky

recent photos I've extracted from my phone have now been uploaded.

what else is new? not a great deal. oh, we have a squirrel living in our loft and keeping us awake at night.

looking forward to the boosh in a couple of weeks, and then we've got a bit of Graham Coxon and then later next month we get to see Jeff Waynes Musical War of the Worlds at the Royal Albert Hall which should be interesting!
