Scanning

I have recently bought a scanner and have been obsessively scanning in photos from berofre we had a digital camera. It's so nice to look over so many happy memories. Our wedding, our eldest as a baby, me as a baby and many in between.

I am amazed at how many photographs we have. I thought we had a lot of digital photos - but it seems we have nearly as many normal ones. It's going to take a while to scan them all in...

200

This is my 200th post! It's a shame I can't think of anything exciting to write about.

Parent's Evening

We had our first parent's evening for our eldest at her new school this evening. It was really nice to chat with the teacher and find out how she is getting on. Our eldest seems to be settling in well and starting to make friends - she even has a birthday party to go to this weekend!

Vroom

I have got my new car - hooray! It is a bit strange after driving our Zafira and the handbrake is in a funny place and the bonnet sticks out at the front. Also it took a while to work out how to tune in the radio to radio 4. But it's done now. Phew.

New car

I'm supposed to be getting my interim new company car tomorrow. It's quite exciting. It's not brand new but it is still shiny. So if anyone wants to buy a slightly less shiny Zafira let me know.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Brrr. It's cold. Today was the first day of the year on which I had to de-ice my car. Also the minibus that takes my daughter to school failed to start and so I had to drive her there. Fortunately with my new job I could get her to school and still be in time for work!

This evening was a prayer and praise night at her school. A number of staff, parents and supporters get together regularly to pray for the work of the school - it was nice to be able to go and participate.

Eleven Years And Still Going Strong

Tomorrow is the 11th anniversary of my wedding. A lot has happened in those years - I have gained a couple of stone in weight, two children and a few gray hairs. We are still very happily married and still good friends. So here is a big thank you to my wife for 11 happy years and to many more to come...
