This is just a jumble of stuff as it happens to me/us and doesn't really warrant much more than itself.

Boom, boom.

I've just realised that I've forgotten to update this site for over two months. Must kick myself. Too much news to sanely add, not that I can remember it. Brother Junior got Yellow Belt, and a "student of the month" thing. Both Brothers did SAT's; Junior getting 4-5-5 (four in English), and Senior 7-7-8 (eight in Maths, though he protests an ability to get EP, for which the paper was scrapped.) Went on holiday... Entertained hoardes of distant Auzzie relatives; and found our Junior is going to Senior's school. "Hooray" says all; "Bah," says Senior.

City lose...

After yet another year of vain attempts; Bristol City lost on aggregate to Cardiff. There's always next year I 'spose. It was a strange; I could hear the cheering from my house...

Another Sleepover...

I went to another sleepover last night. Not one ounce of sleep. School tomorrow. Slept all afternoon. Had fun taking pictures of all the other sleeping forms.

Computer...

I said Monday... didn't come 'till Wednesday. Had to pick it up. It is very good. Fats efficient. With good stuff.Crashes a bit. Needs ironing out.

Computer!

Finally father has brought a new computer. Arriving Monday (not last Friday as originally informed) Will see what it looks like.

Camp

Brother senior went on a camp with Explorer scouts 18 - 21st April. Was youngest there. Was very friendly atmosphere.

Birthday Over x2

BrotherJuniorhad a sleepover after his birthday - not much to speak of.

Birthday "Over"

Brother Junior had a so called "sleepover" last night, to mark his 11th birthday(ish.) Called an "over" no sleep involved. Good morning, good morning, good morning "No it isn't!!!"

Family Quiz Night

We just experienced a torturous family quiz night. Grandparents and all. Didn't win. Came 3rd from last, argues case "You counted them up wrong!!"

Brother on Steroids

Brother Junior achieved his white belt last Wednesday "Delighted" says he, "Yellow is within touching distance."

Production Resumed

After a long break at the creation of this website due to being fed up with the coding of that name thing! I have stated again at it.

Quenyan? What's That?

Brother Senior has had so little to do with his time recently that he has decided to take up the learning of the noble language of Quenyan - or Elvish as some would call it. See his page or the JRR Tolkien site for more info.

Family Holidays Booked!

Our family holidays have been booked for 2003. In May we waltz off on a trip to Disney (Paris) and then to Switzerland and Germany. During the summer we are going to visit North-eastern Spain and the Pyrenees. Details forthcoming.

Karate Kid.

Brother Junior has started to go to Karate at the Bristol Karate club like his father. Brought his suit. Looked good. Outwardly pessimistic parents saying he'll give it up in a month or so. Brother Senior looks on.

We just went on a lovely holiday (half of this years holiday) to "the continent." Quite fun really. Disneyland Paris -> Switz Mountains --> Someplace in Germany near Salzburg.

Well... we did quite a lot. If you can speak German I would be obliged to know what Rossenballen are. We saw it on a menu. Say no more.

Now me say further... As inquisitive as I am, I asked my German teacher; she gave me a funny look, checked that Ross- really was another name for 'horse', gave me another funny look, and said "Yes......"

Holiday II

Showing perfectly how much work I put into this site... We've just (week and a half ago) come back from a holiday thing (today be Aug 24) to the South of France via. Northern Spain. Consisting of a 24hr ferry crossing from Plymouth to Santander, 8 nights in the oh so 'fashionable' seaside resort of Biarritz, and a few nights in the Pyrenees, followed by a night in Noja (Spain) and another Ferry Crossing.

Coming up now/soon on DVD:

Just got Johnny English and Star Trek Nemesis!

Wondering why the supermarkets released TTT Theatrical early...

Looking forward to TTT Extended Edition

Killing Dad for his Elvis DVD purchase.

Hoping that the original Star Wars get a brilliant DVD release.

Looking forward to Matrix Reloaded (October 15th)

Birthdays come... birthdays go. After our birthdays did we come off well? Hard to come off poorly i 'spose.

Not much of interest to say. But I'll say it anyway; complete with thank you list.

If you have never tried before, and are thus in now what is a minority; web site design is exceedingly hard. Even this site has major, major flaws. Here I might show a feature on the history of my websites and any developments as I make them on this and some of my many, many, never maintained websites.

I usually make a new website in order to try out a new design, not having the heart to destroy the previous one...

If there's a god or any kind of justice under the sky.

If a relative I have staying will ever stop repeating the same of so annoying stories.

If Brother Junior will enjoy school.

What it's like in America.

Whether this new PC is 10 or 100 time better than my previous one.

If Bristolian as a language will ever die out.

If I can scrounge enough money for David Bowie's new album, Reality.

If amazing Auzzie relative will get off the bloody phone for me to upload this.

If life can really be 'private'.

What the design for the brand new #theshire website should be.

Whether I can use my brand new scanner to put lots of homework online.
