Gardening @ Miriam's

Last Saturday we went round to Miriam's house to help her with some gardening. On arrival we realised it was going to be a big big job! The grass was 2ft feet tall, the trees were taking over, and weeds were eveywhere! Luckily we had some friends from home group to help us out, and within 2 hrs the garden was transformed!! All that was left was a pile of greenery for Miriam to take to the tip... over the next month! The pic above is of Andy pulling out a massive weed (well, thats what he called it anyway!).

Hole in the Wall

Theres a hole in the wall!! Last weekend I woke to the noise of Ang banging away in the kitchen... what was she doing? "Oh no, its all ruined!!" came the screams. I charged downstairs to find that Ang had been pulling off the tiles... and the wall!! Whoopsy. Now we've decided to decorate the kitchen - so watch this space for before and after photos.

Where Am I?

Found something quite groovy today - its a utility for my phone that updates a database online, which inturn generates a picture file to inform people where I am! It works by knowing which mobile phone antenna I am currently connected to and updates the database regularly.

I have inserted the picture at the top of my blogg in the heading so now you know exactly where I am (as long as I have the program running on my phone). I've also put it directly above so that you can see what I'm talking about if I ever decide to remove it!

Using my mobile at home I never really get any decent reception, and it looks like my phone is either locking onto the Ely or Stretham mast - we are half way in between!! So if you see that I'm constantly moving between Ely and Stretham, that is why!

Quite a cool little utility if you ask me!

May Bank Holiday


Ang and I had a great time this bank holiday weekend. We travelled north, visited a National Trust Property (above), went to Sandringham, sat on a beach, and then came back via Thetford forest! What a busy day!!
