Evening All

Comfy Sofa Productions are proud to bring you the first Sunday night post from Bobster-Blogster. As I sit here waiting for Lost to come on (episode 5 of series 4, "The Constant", starring Desmond this week), I am feeling especially proud because I have managed to avoid spoiling this episode for myself by looking it up on the internet. That makes a colossal 2 out of about 50 episodes I have managed to avoid spoiling for myself, so no small achievement there I think.

The point of this blog is quite simple. Firstly, I have sod all free time in the week to write lovely thoughtful handwritten letters and to phone people for hours on end. I am a City lawyer and we don't do weekday free time. A good many of us don't do weekend free time either, but thankfully I'm not in that department. At the same time, it would be nice to let my relatives know something of what goes on down here at Bobster HQ. The rather curt responses people get when they phone me in the middle of about 8 different things can't be good for my image. As I write, I am already in trouble because I forgot to send a card to MeMum (today is Mother's Day). I bought the card, but it is sat in my desk drawer at work because I was busy on Thursday/Friday. I just about sorted out Mother's Day for MeWife let alone MeMum, so you get the idea about how busy I am at work.

The second point of this blog is to leave something for MeKids to look back on when I am either gone or senile and they wondered what Dad was like. It also doubles a short chronicle of their growing up before they stop posing for cutesy photos and start demanding more pocket money.

Finally, this is for MeWife, who also suffers from the "Fine/OK/Yes/No/Maybe" shorthand which doubles for much of my conversation during the week. As I sit here typing away, she is sat at the other end of the sofa watching Guys and Dolls which is her favorite musical. I recorded it on our Sky Plus box you see. Kids - look - Dad's considerate!

Naturally, being a public blog, no-one gets named on here, and I'd be grateful if anyone posting respects that policy.

Anyway, time to sign off. With luck, I'll post most Sundays with a run-down of the previous week's activities and a few exciting photos from my whizz-bang white-hot lifestyle. Examples of just some of the excitement which will unfold over the next few weeks include:

- the penalty notice from HMRC which followed a written invitation not to file a return (PHEW);
- the dismantling of a small child's wooden bed (WOW); and
- the extension of doom (COR).

Google better put some extra bandwith on for that lot.

See you soon
