General - slithering up to Newcastle

So once again little time has been put aside over the last two weeks to jot on the blog, but as usual I’m back and ready for the typing hand to pound those keys for a while at least.

Clare and I had a quiet but nice valentine spent at her place.  She gave me some beautiful Edinburgh Chrystal glasses and a decanter.  We’re actually going to gather a little joint collection together from the same set.  Man, this must be getting serious!!!!!  GRIN

On another positive note I appear to have got my sleeping pattern back in to sorts so I’m awake at normal times now, a huge relief to me for sure!

I had the pleasure of training  Narendra Mehta  the guru of Indian Champissage on Tuesday and what a nice fellow.  The Indian food at lunch time was splendid and it ranks as one of my favourite training days yet with Humanware.  At times I dread training, but one of the gratifying parts of the job is to watch people realise the potential of the hardware and accompanying software that when all said done is fine to play with, but really does make a huge difference to people both professionally and within leisure time too.

The last few days have been pretty hectic with most of them spent working and living in and around Suffolk.  My time off work last week appears to have been just what the doctor ordered, and the two days off I’m about to take in the north east and Yorkshire over the next long weekend should be enjoyable.  I am off to Seaton Sluice to sort out a computer with Clare and Jaid.  We’re staying in a pub called the Waterford Arms.  This pub come restaurant and b & B is apparently super well-known for the quality of the fresh fish served on the premises.  I hope we can grab some to snakc down on tonight when we get in, but as we probably won’t disembark to Newcastle until just before 7, and we then have to get across to Seaton Sluice via Whitley bay this is somewhat doubtful.

Clare Jaid and I are on the rails once more on Satterday heading in a Doncasterwardly  direction to spend some time with my family in Yorkshire.

I was impressed with KT Tunstall at the Brits, not her performance because it was a little shabby, her answer to how she would celebrate her gong.  She simply said ‘Whisky!’

Andrew and Steve prepared a lovely Lamb Stew last night, its just the perfect food for a cold winters evening.  We washed it down with some Cains FA and listened to some jazz, a lovely night really.  Had to rush out the house late as usual because of a laps orgonisation on my part, IE jaid forgot to pack last night!!  Not good, I’ve neglected to bring the mp3 player and if anyone were to wager that something else was left behind they’d probably be spot on.

Bye-bye Peterborough looms for a trekker demo.
