We've moved!

22 June 2006
It’s now almost a month since we moved house, but I’ve been meaning to blog about our hectic week as we moved for a while! We completed fairly late on the Friday, and booked the removals for the Wednesday in order to give us time to get the bits and pieces done that we wanted to sort out before we moved in. The first thing that we had planned was for someone to come in and check for woodworm, as that had come up on the survey, so we’d booked them in Friday afternoon thinking that if we’d completed at lunchtime we’d have the keys in plenty of time - as it was it was quite tight for time, but worked out ok.

We're Expecting!

14 May 2006
It’s very exciting, Laura is now 19 weeks pregnent so we’re nearly halfway there. We’re due on October 6th, although the scans have put it a bit later so we’ll see. It’s been so amazing to see our little baby on the scans and how (s)he’s growing. On my birthday as we settled down to watch “The Legend of Zorro” we both felt the baby kick for the first time (although Laura had felt movements earlier) - what a nice birthday present!
Recently I’ve been working on a new community website which I’ve just launched: Latin Mission is a new community site for people with an interest in Christian work in Latin America. It currently consists of: Forums The forum is a place members can discuss recent events, their Latin American experiences or even seek prayer support. News The news section collects news from across the internet and filters it to show news items relating to Latin America.

Early Christmas journey.

23 December 2005
Well I’m now on holiday for Christmas - Yippee! As the traffic would probably be really bad to travel down to Devon if we left it till after I finished work at lunchtime, so instead we decided to head down to Okehampton early this morning - leaving Portsmouth at 4.30am! This plan worked well as the traffic was fairly sparse on the roads at that time in the morning and we made probably the best time ever for the journey, arriving at about 7.

Useful HTML tags

3 October 2005
Just a quick note about some useful HTML tags that have been around for a long time, but I’ve found particularly useful recently: <del cite="url" datetime="YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD> Mark text that has been deleted, optionally citing a URL for more details and a date and time of change. Useful for marking alterations to posts. <del>Example deleted text</del> < ins cite="url" datetime="date of change > Mark text that has been inserted, optionally citing a URL for more details and a date and time of change.

Kinky Boots

23 September 2005
Last week on the vue mailing list, Laura got an invitation for free tickets to the preview of “Kinky Boots”, so on Wednesday we both went to see it: Kinky Boots (12A) Ricky Moorhouse 22nd September 2005 Rating: 5 out of 5 Brilliant northern comedy based on the true story of a Northampton shoe factory, suffering because of cheap imports from abroad; and their efforts to save the factory by making kinky boots for drag queens.

Trip to France

11 September 2005
When we got there, we started off by heading into Le Havre for breakfast, and found a little cafe along the seafront where we had croissant and coffee. We then headed back into town to have a look round but unfortunatly it seemed to be mostly closed at that time in the morning and then it started raining. We headed back to the car (particularly thankful that we’d got it with us) and looked at the map to decide what to do.

3 Year Anniversary

8 September 2005
It’s our anniversary! - The last 3 years have past quickly in some ways, but it also seems like we’ve been together forever! As 3 years is supposed to be leather and Laura had been wanting some boots I decided that I’d get her them as an anniversary present, but when I went to get them I found it would be much easier to go there together and get them after our anniversary.
