Spider hands, spider hands…
So, laying in bed last night, Lisa was rubbing my back, when she suddenly stopped, looked slightly worried, then dissolved in streams of laughter (and I’m talking STREAMS – tears were running down her face etc.) I finally got her to say what was up, and her reply? “I was rubbing your back, and saw my hand on your shoulder and thought it was a spider…” 😐 You just can’t make this stuff up… Been a long week: up to Prestwick on Tuesday to test and inspect all of their jacks/tooling while they’re on summer shutdown (the aircrafdt industry generally […]
Read MoreA new link in my Blogroll…
Uh huh, thanks no doubt to Arie’s subtle hints, Lisa’s gone and got herself a blog 🙂
Read MoreAnother great weekend
Saturday was spent laying concrete at my mum’s (that would be Bob and me) in the hot sun – at least we had a mixer this time (good job too, we used 1 tonne of ballast!). Got most of it done now, just a little bit more to do next weekend. Mum fed us too – woop, woop! Sunday I went to London with Lisa and the girls (Carys and Kira). Was a lovely day wandering about, visiting The Clink and SeaLife. Kira winds her mum up by saying “I’m hers” – here’s the pictorial proof: Heh… EDIT: I changed […]
Read MoreWhy you should NEVER ask me what I’m thinking…
So, there I was one morning, just woken up, layinh there grinning to myself. “What are you thinking?” asked Lisa, no doubt thinking I’d come out with some fluffy comment. “Well,” I began, “I was just thinking about painting monkeys – not in a watercolour, but using a roller..do you think purple or yellow monkeys would look best?” Personally, I prefer the idea of purple monkeys, but that’s just me… On another occasion, I decided an army of blue ducks would be a cool thing to have – Lisa thought they’d look better with tin hats 😐
Read MoreNag, nag, nag…
Even Bu’er is nagging me to update (does this mean she’s blogged recently?) Been a great week – Monday in the office, Tuesday & Wednesday testing down in (not so) sunny Bournemouth – this was the first time in all the years I’ve been going down there to test at FR Aviation that it’s not been beautiful weather. Shame really, I’ve just had some modifications done to the test rig and wanted some nice pictures for the new website (which will be going live in the next week or so to replace our static html site). I’m still getting the […]
Read MoreNokia N900
I’ve had this phone for nearly 8 months now and I love it – the only thing that could improve it is if the keyboard hinged upwards when opened (like the N97). Other than that, it’s great! a full Linux operating system in a pocket sized package 🙂 A couple of weeks back, I installed Android onto the SD card and finally got around to booting into that last night while Lisa was cooking dinner (and what a dinner it was: roast lamb, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, peas, gravy and yorkshire puddings – I can honestly say I […]
Read MoreLife, the universe and Lisa…
Even Lisa is telling me to blog more… So, been a great week – seen lots of Lisa, as well as seeing her frequently! 😉 work has been good – we’re getting into our really busy period so the days fly by 🙂 Got a load of onsite work coming up now, and my test rig has been modified so it’s a lot easier to use and adjust for the various heights of the jacks – Bournemouth next week, plus Stansted, then Prestwick (probably) the week after. Still waiting to hear if we’ve got the job testing over in Slovenia […]
Read MoreA quickie for Friday…
Been a great week – everything at work is ticking along nicely, and I had a day in Paris on Wednesday at the air show. Was a long day though…up at 2.30am to drive to Luton, arrived in Paris at 8 – FINALLY got to the air show at 12, got my ticket from the company we were there to have a meeting with at 1, which coincided with my needing some lunch (I did get a full english breakfast at Luton airport waiting for the boss and my flight, but 5 hours is a long time for me to […]
