The blog of Doug

Off to have my paw fixed tomorrow, a couple of bumps on my knuckles need a good seeing to so while my fingers still work I thought I would tap this out.

Hope they are OK for the next old fools trip down south in a couple of weeks.

Plenty of catching up to do on the blog, been working too hard still but managed a couple of bike type events with the Mach Hare last weekend and an Ixan trial the weekend. I think the allure of tea and cakes half way round on a wonderful spring day gives this years March Hare the edge over a muddy and rainy trial in the woods. Both enjoyable but you can't beat a good bit of home made cake.

Katies starting solids at the moment too, still as cute as a cute thing. This being a dad thing is quite an amazing experience.

Have to add some more interesting things here when I get a chance and quite probably will be from my new macbook due at the end of the week with any luck...

A nice shiny new year streaches out infront with a well worn one trailing behind.

This time we welcomed in 2009 at the Herdsfolks place with an Italian evening inspired by my christmas preasy to Mrs Herdsfolk i'm reliably informed. Jon went all out on the xbox games with some Taff pleasing trivia and some Sarah inspiring Kareoke games. A bit of old school shove h'penny thrown in on the side too.

Katie got her first new year welcomed in by Scooby Doo... a good time had by all so thanks to the Herdsfolk for doing a fine job.

Went and saw the Mighty Boosh last night at the New Theater in Oxford. A fine show it was to, I had to book the tickets last year which was a bit of forward planning for a change. Sally was supposed to be comming along to but the small matter of Katie turning up since getting the tickets got in the way of that a bit.

Amazing what happens in a year...

Just thought I would put up this picture of my desk. Not very interesting really but just playing with the camera bag app on my iPhone.

Anyway this is the hub that is now half office half nursury, I will get around to sorting out the pile of paper soon, honest.

The only IT I have here is a 24" iMac with a second 20" mointor and a side of junk thrown into the mix for good measure.

So thats what I see every day....
