Time passes. Thorin sits down and starts singing about gold.

Absolutely nothing to do with this post. I was really just musing about how infrequently I manage to update this blog these days. People said to me that once you have a child you look forward to visits to the toilet just to get 5 mins to yourself. I didn’t believe them. Oh, how I scoffed. They were right though.
If we are not playing with him, my wife is feeding him, I’m making the dinner (lovely spanish tortilla omelette with salad last night if anyone is interested) or trying to catch up on a bit kip. Now he’s 4 months old he’s sticking anything into his mouth as well which is usually ok unless he’s sitting too near the remote control etc etc. He’s even sprouted a couple of teeth on the bottom half of his mouth.
So, my apologies for the lack of updates. Even my last update was really just a mini rant. In an attempt to try and keep the content flowing, I installed a plugin to display my twitter posts. It looked shite though and I hauled it out. I’m sure I’ll find another plugin which looks much better though. I’m so busy at the moment that I don’t have the time or inclination to rip code apart and tinker with stylesheets. If it doesn’t look good straight out of the box then it gets jettisoned. I’m a true product of the internet generation. All impatience and no effort.
Work should be a bit easier this week. I have a bit of time between projects which should allow me to catch up on a few odds and ends. I’m suffering from some kind of chest infection/cold at the minute and it’s slowed me down no end. Hopefully I can clear it before I present a course in Leeds on Thursday or I can see Friday being a day of hoarseness. I guess 2 hours at the football on Saturday didn’t help any of our colds (all three of us went along). Viva la Spartans though. 4-0 wins away from home are always welcome, especially after an awful first half performance from the boys in white. 12 points clear at the top of the premier league now albeit having played a good few more games than the nearest rivals. It’s all a psychological advantage though.
In other news, I’ve developed an unhealthy addiction to mushroom cup-a-soup (with or without croutons) and Last FM.
I’m going to try and post every day this week (bar Thursday) so better go just now before I use up all my best material……
