Spaced

Spaced is being shown again on Dave - so we've got the boxed set out and started watching the lot again (series 1 and 2).
It's still one of the best things that Simon Pegg has ever done.

H.M.S. Illustrious

Queen Mary 2 left the same night. HMS Illustrious is in today - bristling with Helicopters.

Queen Mary 2

A bunch of us have just nipped out of work to wave at the passengers coming in on this huge vessel, that's blocking our view of the Mersey.

The stats say that it's 200 feet high from the waterline. Very impressive.
When they blast the ships horn it's shaking the building.

No Obligation

Had to take a day off work today to deal with a family crisis.
Whilst buzzing around in the car like a blue-arsed fly I got a call from work asking if I could volunteer for 6 hours of overtime tonight, under no obligation of course! Naturally I declined to oblige.

Dusk Till Dawn 2

It's another all-nighter planned at work for tomorrow night. Might get out before sunrise if I'm lucky.

Small boys in the park...

It was a fine windy autumn day on Saturday. I took Frodo and Samwise up to the local Park and showed them the location of the "secret" Horse Chestnut trees that I know about. We collected a huge bag of conkers. Next I need to show them how to play - might have to invest in some safety goggles and hard hats - since this highly dangerous pastime is banned in their school.

Mini Stonehenge

I saw this and immediately thought that Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap did have the correct dimensions after all :)
