Good bath last night

Harry enjoyed his bath last night I think, kept him in there for ages, supporting his head and letting him float a bit. He likes the bath, but then gets a bit stressed when it's time to get out and get dried.Watched more Glastonbury yesterday, looked...

Nice day in Folkestone

Went for a walk down to the beach and up through the town. Everything's looking GREAT down by the beachy bits, loads of people about, even live entertainment outside the pubs down in the harbour. Here's Clare by the beach:See a similar view from 1920...

Due date plus three

Still nothing to report. Clare is out living the life of riley while I'm slaving over a hot keyboard here. Weather has turned bad, heavy rain most of the day, like the bad weather we have yesterday morning. I must have something more interesting to t...

And now weather

VERY good day today, not just because we had the scan and it all went well, but the day itself was great. HOT, SUNNY, it was like SUMMER. Drove home at lunchtime along the seafront (as Operation Stack was on) and everyone was out, Bar Vasa looked to ...

Fierce storm last night here

Masses of thunder and lightning, quite close by, made the building shake once. I would not be surprised to hear somewhere near by was struck / damaged. Did not hear a lot of rain, but I can see the ground is damp... The pool table is still on the fro...

Heading to London in a bit

Luckily driving as all our trains are cancelled "icy rails" apparently. Got a SCARE when I friend on twitter asked if we were snowed in, wondered how it would affect our journey. But all good, off in a bit, full report on our return.UPDATE: 25 respon...

No more snow here overnight

Looks like we can't say the same for the rest of the country! Clare got a lovely text saying "don't bother coming in today" as London was at a standstill, no tubes or trains or busses. It's fairly clear down here though, no more than we had yesterday...

We have snow today

Expecting more overnight... Our back garden, through the lounge window:Oh and while I'm posting pictures, here's the wife's belly!Pretty exciting, we're getting close now, less than four months to go. Of course we're not at all prepared, not actually...

Snow patrol

Still very icy round here, and even some residual snow on the ground from yesterday that did not thaw yet.sold out Snow Patrol tickets, tickets for Snow Patrol, Snow Patrol tickets Folkestone, Snow Patrol tickets, sold out Snow Patrol tickets, Snow P...

We got snow this morning

Wasn't expecting that at all, looks lovely but not so helpful for our first day back at work of the year. Just seen Clare off to the station, she's shuffling carefully towards her train right now and hoping it's on time. It's apparently not going to ...

A mighty wind

Fierce storm last night, made quite a racket. Didn't realise until this morning it had taken down one of the trees in our garden:...

BACK, from Amsterdam

And got me a new IPOD for my birthday, and still got another day off work. And, it's still boiling hot, it's been like a real summer the past few days.

Looks wet at Glastonbury right now

www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2008/webcam/

Doesn't seem to have updated since half four today though.

UPDATE: They've taken it down now.

Only light rain at Glastonbury

Some rain overnight and a little more on the way at the festival, it says here in the Times, it's hardly news at all really is it. Watched Glastonbury the movie on TV last night, partly it made me really wish I was there, but when I analysed it I fou...

Where'd the weekend go?

In fact where did the week go since I last had something to write about? Had plenty going on, I put it down to trying to learn the guitar, and the tips of my fingers are in far too much pain to type, so sorry if I go a bit slowly.If anyone has any go...

So was that the summer then?

In the interest of being able to read back on this in years to come and reminisce about what was going on, I should have said something about the weather recently I think. But, I blinked, and it's gone now. Got a barbecue lined up for this Saturday, ...

Heavy snow both ends

Just back from the parents, we had heavy snow there at 8am this morning that settled, probably 3 or 4 inches deep in an hour, very nice to see but a bit terrifying, we thought it was there for the duration and we'd not be able to get back to Folkesto...

Great book, slight repost

I've got this book and it's great, a full history of all the drinking establishments in Folkestone and surrounding villages. And here's a rare copy on ebay, starting bid 99p.Splendid weather today, think the storms have moved North, it's bright and c...

Weather report part two

Ferocious rain woke us both up in the night, a proper downpour again. Clare got the fear that the weather might have resulted in our pilot light going out (it happened before), which would mean waking up to cold showers, so I got up to check on it. W...

Disgusting rain here

Just in case anyone turned up by mistake looking for a weather update, it's raining really hard here.

"Sadly disappointed with La Tavernetta"

No, I'm not disappointed with La Tavernetta, I've never been there, though I've only seen bad reviews from other people over on FG, but I am sadly disappointed that that was the last contributed comment on this site, I'm BORED of seeing it over in th...

Bad weather on a good day

Severe gale warnings across the country today, the wastelands of the north get it worse, but it's pretty windy here, was very noisy at home. But hey, not only is it the best day of all today, but it's also profit share day. To the pie shop!...

Flood-tastic

Here's today's walk to work:That's not a stream or anything, just rain water.Operation Stack still in effect, lots of people were held up on their way in here today....

The weather is still in full force

And Operation Stack is in effect. So if you're thinking of driving to Folkestone, forget it.

Hope I can still get a lift home off someone OK.

Apple Airbook

There's a new ultra portable mac to be announced todday I think, some speculation here on Wired, see how everyone has to comment without reading the article? (Cue replies here, missing the point of this post, if there was a point, and there were any ...

Ooh, we got snow already

Should be quite a slippy slide home tonight. I'm GLAD, Clare is off work sick today, this is sure to affect the trains... If I go out and make a snowman tonight, I'll be sure and post up a picture.

Ooh lightning strike!

No trains from Folkestone for the forseeable, because of a lighting strike over night, we do get all the action here don't we. They can't put on any replacement busses until after the school run as they're all in use. I'm getting a lift in today so I...

Bad Weather?

It's lovely up here.....

Marcus Brigstocke is a funny guy, a bit over exposed at the minute though - he's becoming the new Rich Hammond.

Blowin' in the wind

Copy and paste from a chum who made it into London today. I did not, high winds and other adverse weather conditions cancelled all our trains.we're on the 10th floor and the wind up here is nuts! the noise is incredible. I saw several people knocked ...

I think he left here when the weather got colder

Hopefully he'll be back again in early summer. Look out though, I'm sure I heard that the same warming conditions that are attracting dolphins might attract GREAT WHITE SHARKS to our coasts! Well, it could happen. Possibly.
