A beer lorry has shed it's load on the M20 at Folkestone apparently! I got the train in and missed this, but work is half empty. Presumably with people stopping to fill their boots with beer, but possibly some just held up in the traffic.

Eight months old today.
Some snow here, with more on the way, they're making emergency lift sharing plans at work. In other work news, we're having another desk reshuffle.

And moved to the Precinct. Presumably not brick by brick.
I have happy memories of "Holiday Playtime" there as a child and I think I did judo there too. I remember the O, M, M, I, and Y of the illuminated sign being smashed for ages to spell out a Very Rude Word indeed.
used to call it the Moonican Centre, she'll love me for remembering that.

That's the theory anyway, can't be bothered to write it up now which means I may never. It was GOOD though. Support from Marcel who seem to have expanded to a six piece now, and Lidl Richard who was a caberet one man rock'n'roll covers thing. Shame we had to run early but really really good to see them again.

I'm sure there are a lot more of these than there are boys nights out these days... Clare has gone to see Strictly Come Dancing with her mum at the O2 so me and Harry are in alone. He's been grumbling since she's been gone but is in bed now. He had a bit of a temperature but Calpol sorted that out. Bathed him on my own, not sure how clean he got but at least we went through all the rituals. He's not bothered at all by me pouring water over his head now, that's thanks to Water Babies. It was good again yesterday, only four parents and babies in the pool this time. I think there were six or seven when we started but I could only picture one of the missing ones.
Went to Faversham for the day for a change instead of Canterbury. Lots of pubs but not a lot else there that I could see really. Can't make out if it's a nice place or not. We had lunch in Ask, could not find anywhere else suitable.
Watched Lost, didn't think much of it at all. I'm off to Lostpedia to see what I missed.
