Back from pub lunch and shopping trip - missed visitors while we were out - rats.
Pub lunch, birthday treat time (not me).
Connected Alice’s Eee to the home WiFi - nice machine, but trackpad a bit too sensitive.
Another great family day, back at home with a glass of wine :-)
Walk over, now at the Navigation Wootton Wawen for food.
Post-Christmas canal walk time - Crab Mill to Bulls Head (I think there’s a theme there) yay!
Christmas 3 today - it is never ending…
Success at snooker today makes up for dire team performance at yesterday’s games.
OK, off out for a game of snooker - it has been a while.
Team came last in the games, rats… :-)
48 here now one more game to go…
At the Boxing Day family gathering - early - only 15 here so far…
Gearing up for the boxing day festivities - Barry’s Bumper Boxing Bash and Buffoonery tonight :-)
Half time in the frivolities - food break, about 40 here now…
Back home, all the driving & traveling done - great day. Wine glass in hand :-)
Is everyone playing Wii Bowing as well as us?
Arrived in the Valley - Christmas 2 about to begin.
Presents unwrapped, lots of fun - now getting ready for trip to Wales for Christmas dinner, roads should be empty today.
Wrapping done, ready for the morning, Happy Christmas.
Empty Brum: RT @benjaminbrum: http://twitpic.com/vv9k - Sad & empty Victoria Square. The carousel looks sad & lonely.
Four Santas riding motor cycles - that’s not something you see every day.
Made an a.s.a.p. payment online via Lloyds TSB - it will go out on the 29th! That’s not even last century - their computers have holidays?
Tree bought - now starting to think about Christmas (!)
Now getting spammed by @Costall ‘s frenetic Facebook quiz action…
Ah. Christmas lists…
Sarah’s home - whoopee.
Beautiful morning, now on the train to Tuttle (Brazil) :-)
Great (and different) Tuttle today, shame that both Brum and Brazil on at the same time.
Hope to get back to normal (whatever that is) today. Good start.
Stephen still hurting(!) after last Monday’s tournament - so no badminton for him tonight.
Came second in the quiz - bottle of champagne - can’t be bad - need sleep.
Great post from @bellware on alt.net
At the golf club quiz - bit of a change from last night :-)
I asked last night at the meetup what the collective noun for geeks would be. It is obvious now: A Twitter of Geeks. :-)
Hi guys sorry to bail on the post-cloud dinner - made my train with 1 min to spare :-)
Great ISV day at TVP now on train to Paddington then Soho for Cloud meetup - see you there if you’re going.
Good set of sessions for the morning of ISV day, more to come…
Ah, building 3 was a facade, delegated responsibility to building 2 after all.
I think getting the train was a mistake, like a doctor’s waiting room in here. Too many coughs and sneezes.
On the train to TVP for ISV day.
Interesting day tomorrow - round trip: BHX -> ISV day at TVP Reading -> Soho Cloud Meeting -> BHX. All by train & ug. What coul …

Must get ready for long day tomorrow, anyone know where to get breakfast in Reading (near Train station) at about 08:40?
Aha. -> is a Twitterbug ;-)
OK!!!!! Why are my tweets getting truncated? Tried both TweetDeck and Web. Failed both times. Lets see just how far I can type to get to 140
That worked :-). So is it the characters I used? Only different ones were -> which I used a few times -> -> so can we get all t …
Wow, @jamestimbrell thanks for the follow, you’re my 500th, I think I’m your 200th… Twitter taking off in Brum :-)
Hmm… Just got a reminder that I haven’t ‘redeemed’ my Azure token yet, so little time to do research.

Looks like this will be a very productive week, plus heavy Microsoft day on Thursday - TVP and London somehow.
