I'm 22 now! Only 10226 days until I'm 50...
After getting to bed at 7.30, waking up at 11 and working till 1, I went out for a birthday lunch with my gran and then frittered the afternoon and evening away. Not having much work for the first time in months, I checked I could complete the hotel level in hitman contracts in under 10 minutes, it being the only game I have on this computer. But I just checked my e-mail and have found out that I do actually have lots of things I should be ...

"Oh, end of the month? Sure, that'll be no problem."
Why did I say that?
Never mind, all done now. Well, done enough for this stage - I'll have a meeting or two before it's all finalised, which gives me time to do lots of testing. And what's more, I'm actually a week ahead of the schedule I said I'd be working to, and on time for the schedule they thought I said. Result.

So, my haircut at 8.45 on Tuesday didn't happen. My hairdresser and I have an on-going joke about how I'm always late, so I decided to surprise him and left half an hour early. Only I got stuck in the biggest traffic jam on earth, which started at the end of my road. At one point, I didn't even move for 10 minutes, which sucked. Took me all ...

I came back to Sevenoaks on Sunday for a meeting today - on the way to the meeting at about 11.15, I drove past a pub that was on fire. The meeting went well, and the person from the publisher took us out for lunch which was very pleasant, I met with some other people, and then left at about 5.20. On the way back I drove past the same pub - still lots of fire engines and they were still pumping water into the building. There's a BBC news article about it here. Anyway, I'd left radio ...
