The best birthdays are those shared with friends

The best birthdays are those shared with friends

Our day started about two weeks ago, with Wendy slowly but surely squirrelling away of all manner of bits and bobs to enable a 6th birthday party to take place. We have already had a discussion with the children about "big" parties; that they may one get one or two, so they have to choose [...]

Playing god with The Sims

Playing god with The Sims

If you have not played it before, "The Sims" is a stupid computer game where you get to play god – controlling little people who exist within the game. As against games such as World of Warcraft (which I dare not play) where you play marauding maniacs firing magic spells out of your backside, the [...]

Deeg's Wedding Party

Deeg's Wedding Party

A few snaps taken on my iPhone at Deeg’s wedding party last night. Wendys parents babysat for us, allowing us to escape for a few hours. Wendy has far better pictures on her Blackberry (which, it turns out, takes far better photos than the iPhone).

There’s also a rather comical photo of me on Facebook – [...]

We arrived [...]

Playing GRID on the Nintendo DS

Playing GRID on the Nintendo DS

If there is a reason I am so tired this morning, it’s not just because I was watching back-to-back episodes of “The Big Bang Theory” last night – I was also playing GRID on my Nintendo DS. It’s kind of crappy, but it reminds me of Mario Kart, except with semi-realistic cars (although how you [...]

Wii Finally Succumb to Nintendo

Wii Finally Succumb to Nintendo

At some point tomorrow a nice man sent from Amazon will deliver a large box to our doorstep at home containing a Nintendo Wii, and several games for it. The decision was not an easy one to make. For the first time in months we had some “play” money, and I thought long and hard [...]
