Snow, snow everywhere

Boston in the snow is great. None of the two English snow flakes and the place grinds to a halt. Here we have some 12" and growing and nobody cares. Roads are being cleared, the Mall is open, need to finish Christmas shopping, and life goes on.

The good news is that work has finished and the customer was very happy, makes a change.

Now with friends until Monday afternoon when it will be time to fly home for a family Christmas. Food is good and even the local beer is drinkable.

As they say in this part of the world "Happy Holidays".

Cold, frustrated. Must be another work trip!

Well it's 6am in a cold hotel room, why do hotel put the AC on full when it's 0C outside? and there is snow on the ground.
Yep I'm on another business trip. New England in the run up to Christmas. Sounds great but for this part of the trip I would rather be somewhere else! The good news is that I should be finished Friday and then I get to spend 3 days with my US friends. Haven't seen my Godson in 6 months so this part of the trip should be great.
Better go now as the guys will be waiting and I am the driver.

Another day, another year older!

It's that time again when I become another year older :( I can't decide whether I now enjoy birthdays or just gracefully accept them.
So it's 11:50am and I'm still sitting here in my PJs, so maybe I am in denile about old age. That or it's just a lazy Sunday!
I suppose I should finish this blog entry, get dressed and go visit the family. At least I am writing this whilst listening to England stuff South Africa at cricket.

Cold, but Children In Need a success

Spent early Friday and all of Saturday morning collecting for Children-In-Need. Even in these difficult times it amazing to see peoples generousity. Between 5.30am Friday and 4.30pm Saturday we collected an amazing £2646.44.

Thank you to all who gave money.

Back to work :(

Had a great weekend.
Caitlin was a star. The life and soul of the party. Not bad for a four year old. Needed Sunday to recover, now back in work mode.
Roll on next weekend.

The difficult second post

Well it's time to add a new post entry. So what do I write about.......
Well it's been a busy week. Two Lions meetings (missed the third one), too much going on at work, not enough 'me' time and then the week ends with my Niece's 4th birthday.
This afternoon should be good fun, Caitlin is 4 going on 16 and the party should be a blast. Just need to wrap the presents, write the card and get the shopping done before that. Sounds easy but it's 10.20am and I'm still in my PJs.
Better get started then!

The first entry!

Well it was time for a new website and this package seemed really easy to use. And so far it seems really good.
All I have to do now is remember to update the blog on a regular basis.
