England retain the Ashe for the first time in 28 years!!!

Oh how the Aussie's must hurt!!! Losing the Ashes - AGAIN in their own country!!!

I have joined the elite class of the Solid State!

Many thanks to Steve Jobs for making my day! I have my first solid state laptop -a MacBook Air. No moving parts, no whirring fan, no red legs!! It's fast, light, clear and totally awesome!!

I'm coming back to blog!

I've neglected my blog mostly because life has not been that exciting - in fact has been downwright depressing and when it gets like that I'd rather forget it than log it!!

today is the shortest day, longest night - the winter equinox, the day I feel like I've reached the pinnacle of winter and that the longer, warmer days are near.

The weather recently has been beyond belief, I may even see my first ever white Christmas - although getting to the Hell Hole (work), delivery of presents and driving in general have been a nightmare I am looking forward to being snowed in, nowhere to go, plenty of booze and turkey sandwiches!!

Last night also say a lunar eclipse - although as usual the UK was too cloudy to spot anything!!
