Sometimes I wonder if the pressures of my job are really worth it...
Made a mistake today, not entirely of my own making, but it was me that clicked the button which didn't give me a warning before the deed was done. I've now got to spend time making notes for my defence, before they throw me into the lake to see whether or not I float...
Just what I need before I Bank Holiday weekend, where instead of relaxing, or mowing the lawn, I'll be in for two days carrying out some mission critical testing, one day of which involves a trip to another site. Whoopee! (Not!)

Swingball Wizards
Gran and Grandad had a Swingball at their house. The boys really enjoyed it. Guess what I'm going to have to buy for the back garden soon...
Angel of the North
I've admired this sculpture since it was erected over 10 years ago, and have passed it by car and train, but have never stopped off for a closer look until last week.
It's pretty easy to get to it by car. Travelling North up the A1, after your first glimpse take the A167 sliproad and follow the brown signs until you reach a small car park at the side of the road (for about 20 cars, plus a couple of coaches and with 4 disabled bays in addition).
Up close you can really appreciate what an awesome piece of work this is. You feel dizzy just looking up at it. Everybody seems to get the urge just to stand their with their arms out for a bit.
Our little angels enjoyed the experience, and were particularly impressed that they could slide down the Angel's foot. Samwise (Desert in a cultural Oasis) was amused that you could see it's bum from a particular angle.

Easter Holidays
Spending this Easter relaxing at my parents place in the North Yorkshire countryside for a week.
Even more relaxing than usual, as we've spent two days with my parents, helped them pack their caravan and waved them off to their Caravan Club rally.
We now have the house to ourselves, and are planning a few trips out and about over the next few days. So it's a bit like having a holiday cottage.
