  • New Nespresso Machine

    Bought a nespresso machine from John Lewis last night, a Delonghi lattissima. Already had one cappuccino from it and must say I am impressed.

    The milk steamer is great, the milk was nice and frothy and most importantly, it was hot!

     

    Now, as there is a bewildering array of coffees, I am going to start a rating system as I try the different ones.

  • Chillies Update

    The progress of my chillies so far, the Cayenne and Jalopeno seem to have grown considerably faster than the Scotch Bonnet.

  • Bought an ipad!

    Finally succumbed and took the plunge and got myself an ipad. Thought it might be beneficial for work demos as the westcon ipad app looks really good on it and anything that elevates us above the competition can only be good.

    Loving the sky go app and BBC iplayer too.

    I can also pick up work email on it so hopefully I can ditch my awful work blackberry.

    Ordered a case, screen protector and a stand for it too.

  • Dirty digest!

    Here’s me with AJ Odudu, after filming Dirty Digest. I actually had to get up and leave the audience to find a toilet during filming as I’d had a good few beers before they started and I was utterly busting.

  • Bored

    Not much been happening for the last couple of weeks, just been to the gym a couple of times to stave off the boredom.

    Work is pretty slow right now, not many sales for me to check through which is disappointing as I could do with the commission as the car is playing about (making a screeching noise from one of the belts – hope that’s all it is) so I’d really like to get a new one, but want to make some decent inroads on the credit cards first….

     

  • Ashley’s eyes shot by lasers!

    Took Ashley to get his eyes lasered at Optical Express in Lakeside this morning.

    We got there at 08:30 and were pretty much done by 10:00. He came out of there looking a bit red in the face and it would appear the pain he was in was not so pleasant.

    Got him home as quick as I could without speeding and he then went straight to bed after taking some painkillers and then slept pretty much until 18:00.

    The pain is much less now apparently and I have had to administer some eye drops. He’s currently sitting here with Jez watching Paranormal Activity 2 wearing sunglasses.

    I think the film is rather shit so I’m not watching it. Maybe I’m scared!

     

    Nah.

  • My chillies two days on

    Jalapeno Mild Chillies

    Cayenne Chillies 

    Chillies appear to be coming on strong. Will repot them tomorrow.

    The Scotch Bonnet is still rather small, that one will need a few more days before I repot.

  • Chilies 1st day

    Planted my chilies a few days ago and today they sprouted!

  • Back to the gym

    Been back to the gym tonight for the first time in three weeks. Was really difficult to get back into it, weighed myself and I’ve lost 12lbs.
    Short and sweet tonight as I’m on the phone and its tricky to write too much.

  • Ashley’s eyes

    Took Ashley to Lakeside today to get his eyes looked at with a view to getting them lasered, which he can, but unfortunately he got rejected for finance.

    I will do it for him, and would have done it then and there but unfortunately I forgot my debit card so we’ll have to call them up in the week and go through it. Its with Hitachi capital and they should approve me as I already have finance with them for my watch.

    After that we went to Costco and then decided to go to Knole park for a cup of tea and a scone which is where I took these pics.
