    Hmm. Going home, amusing baby daughter until missus has finished cooking random tea for all 3 of us, then eating and encouraging said daughter to try the foods we're having.. Then leave the cats to clear ground-zero highchair while we take her for bathtime, then amuse daughter until she gets naggy/sleepy. Once she's asleep, read a book and listen to the radio until it's time for bed about 9ish. Also got some washing and washing up to fit in to that, and re-blackout the roof window in the bedroom (4am wakeup this morning. Co-sleeping is ace, but babies don't quite get the "I don't function at this hour". Heh.)

    One day we'll get our evenings back..wouldn't change it though!

    Can anyone beat - conf call with US customer straight "after" work... then dinner at TGI fridays at a motorway junction, followed by an evening in a premier inn with very little to do?

    *joy*

    Still did some good UI feedback stuff today with some of our wonderful customers who took time out of their busy schedules to come visit us in southampton. Big tanks to any of you reading this!

    It's that hot-shot, a-list techy life style we all aspire to Tom. Personally, you can keep it. Fish and chips on the green at Lytham in the blazing sun was fantastic

    Went for a walk around the harbour after work - took my mum and our dogs - lovely late afternoon - beautiful silver light on the sea.

    Just got back from orchestra where I couldnt see the conductor because of the blazing sun as it sank past the windows.

    Getting dark now but not cold yet

    How about going shopping to get all the essentials for a BBQ Party for my 3 year old son on saturday? went out at 5 and only just got back and stowed everything into fridges and cupboards...
    Still got a load of cleaning to do - not to mention the BBQ which hasn't been touched since this time last year!!

    Ooooh get you, so thats you in Soton, Gav in London and you left Nile in-charge at the office. He was a true star in your absence, he's sorted my Obscene Publications Act issues out amazingly Full marks to him!! My A Level Media Students will be impressed they really didn't believe I was phoning up the firm that made it as I couldn't get it to work and I would ask them to make it work just for them!

    As for me lets see.... Serco Upgrade at work, went VERY well, too well infact...... Do some more playing with Citrix XenServer on my HPs for that job (going well ) come home to foodz, then sit down and catch up on E-mails, Facebook Messages and then Edugeek, oh and watch Holby City cannot miss that I would watch Shameless as well but as its over More time for Edugeek now

    It was an amazing evening for golf, I even had to put on Sun cream :-) Not quite as good as my previous 5/6 rounds though, but still pleased. Sadly though that'll be the last golf I play until next week :-( possibly even for 9 days!!

    I've played a couple of times where i've topped the ball so much that it's thundered into the ground and catapulted itself backwards, meaning I've actually had a minus yardage for that shot!!

    Yeah, Rob was out & about too... we'll be adding a few more bodies here in Leeds soon I think.
    Good to here Nile was on top form - you can tell your A-level students that being a Smoothie customer actually entitles you to a cup of tea and a biscuit at our offices whenever you feel the need
