When I started this blogging business, I had expected to put a blog or two up every week or so, but as you can see, it didn't quite turn out like that. This is due to a number of reasons, some publishable, some not, but fundamentally, it arises from the fact that I can't believe much of what I write is of interest to many people.
I was touched however this week to discover an old friend (yes you) had been reading the blog and got in touch to check I was still breathing and to moan about his crappy i-phone contact syncing abilities (see I told you it was you). So I have redoubled my efforts to blog a bit more often and keep the world up to date on the dynamic and exciting adventures of a thirtysomething lawyer with a penchant for trashy television and things with plugs on.
So what's been going on then? Well, the extension is still going well, and may be finished ahead of schedule. I am also busy at work on a project which (touch wood) will hopefully see me through the credit crunch and beyond. The tots continue to grow and learn (in an 'Outnumbered' sort of fashion, if you happen to watch that), and I am about to embark on a seven series 'West Wing' spectacular when I can prise Simon Cowell off the Panasonic.
About the most interesting thing I have done lately is to run the PC through the 37" telly. The effects are quite startling for someine who grew up peering at 14" colour SVGA monitors playing Civ and using something called 'Compuserve' to access the internet (Pentium-75s with 64MB of RAM anyone?). I can now watch i-player(broadband's killer application apart from real-time home-office functionality), the kids can play on the cbeebies website and downloads from the i-tunes movie rental website become a realistic possibility (watched 'The Transporter' last night. What tosh!). So check the port on the back of your screen and get one of those funky tiny lounge base units hooked up.
Oh, and if you get the chance, go and see Bill Bailey at the Gielgud. He is now so far ahead of the rest of the field for stand-up at the moment it is just astonishing. Saw him at the Albert Hall the other night for his guide to the orchestra. Awesome. The DVD of that show is coming soon if you're abroad by the way. Highly recommended. Unless you have no interest in the Belgian Jazz version of the Doctor Who theme, the Universal Studio sig tune speeded up as never before and the Panorama theme tune played backwards. In which case you have no soul...!

When's that orchestra thing out then, sounds good. By the way if you want tosh, you wanna see 'Crank', it makes 'Transporter' look like 'Schindler's List'.
Dunno, but his website says they recorded the show the night after we were there. Gotta love Bill..
