Twenty Five (25) years ago today Sands and I got married in the church in Houghton Conquest, followed by lunch with our guests at the Knife & Cleaver. What was …

Check out this video! Really funny. Bit old hate but has a nice twist at the end for us Mac geeks. ShareTweetShare0 Shares
Have to admit this was a pleasant enough film considering it had Russel Crowe in it, was based in France and was such a cliche it wasn’t even funny! I …
A couple of plane movies that turned out much better than I expected. I picked the 3:10 To Yuma as I hadn’t seen a western for a long time, and …
Boy am I struggling over here in Dubai with the technology that I brought with me. Now I can tell you in advance that a lot of this post is …

As you know I am in Dubai at the moment, and to say that my typical day is different would be an understatement to say the least!! Here is a …

Or more accurately – no progress! At 217 lbs I have had a static week which is OK given that I haven’t really started running yet and had a pretty …
Finally got round to watching The Bourne Ultimatum – I told you I wasn’t a avid movie watcher! – and without doubt it as good a Trilogy as you could …
One thing about your package. There was a huge crash on I4 yesterday and a truck containing mail caught fire. The USPS tracking number you need is XXXXXXXXXXX. Fingers crossed. …
First up this is a 180° about turn I know but there is a reason for it, honest! When I first started blogging I added Google Ads, I mean who …
To understand this article you need to understand my approach to photography, and what I am aiming to achieve. I have little doubt that everyone has different objectives, priorities, reasons …
Well the ‘headline’ news is that I weighed 217 lbs this morning, which is 2 lbs lost in the week so in theory on track. The weird bit is that …
The Prestige is one of the best films I have ever seen, made all the better for the fact that I wasn’t really that bothered about it when Sands said …
Weird, would be the simplest way to describe Children of Men. Had never heard of it, and have no idea why we recorded it, but it was pretty powerful and …
I knew it wouldn’t be long, what with CES just around the corner, but didn’t think it would be a watch that would be first on the 2008 Wish List! …
I suppose it isn’t exactly unique doing a New Years Resolutions post, except for the fact that I haven’t made any and haven’t done so for some time. I am …
Today I weigh 219 lbs. That is pretty much as heavy as I have ever been, but I am refusing to get depressed about it! I accepted that things were …

Not a big fan of Tom Cruise, although sort of liked Jerry McGuire for a bit, but have to say that as escapist action movies the MI series have been …
A perfect film for the end of Boxing day as it requires no brain power at all and a large amount of wine! The Devil Wears Prada is actually not …

Have only watched a couple of movies so far this Christmas, Syriana and The Holiday. I enjoyed Syriana a lot, but found it too hard to follow to say it …
I have a few things to finish off and then I am going off line until after Christmas. I have spent the morning listening repeatedy to The Killers Don’t Shoot …
Was wondering what everyone had their eye on for Christmas? What you bought yourself, what you hoping Santa brings you? Is slightly weird but I don’t actuially have anything technical …
If you look in the sidebar at the bottom you will see a fun survey you can take to see how big a Mac Addict you really are! I scored …
It may well be because I have been feeling ill for so long, but also the fact that it is winter (yes even here in Almerimar it gets a little …
It is just about that time of year again, one of my least favourite it has to be said, although Sands is a pretty big fan! I think I am …
I have gained 1 lb in the last week, but as I didn’t get to run for most of the week, and had a couple of larger than normal meals …
I wanted to point you in the direction of the new Almerimar Life site, and say a big thanks to Tom who as usual has come up with a great …
When I picked up Little Face Sands said that she hadn’t enjoyed it and found the main character un appealing. Not the best of recommendations. Anyway I enjoyed the book …
