Mount Snowdon 2017
Dad, Lance and I attempted to climb Mount Snowdon. Unfortunately, as with my previous attempt, weather stopped us getting all the way to the top.

Early Star? Moi?
Yup, in the office before nine, can't remember when was the last time this happened?
I've a meeting with a technical guy from Google this afternoon, that should be interesting, the collision of two geeks!

Summer Holiday 2002 (Part 1)
We got to the airport with plenty of time to spare. At the check in the airline were giving out leaflets which said that the flight was overbooked and that anyone who would give up their seat would be compensated. Since there we were not being met in Chicago and we could get seats on a less crowded plane we volunteered. For volunteering we were given five hundred dollars in travel vouchers for each of the tickets and places on a later flight.

And Finally
One of the things that attracted me to this house five years ago was the fact that it obviously hadn't been decorated since the 70's and there were no signs of damp or damage to the walls. The house had obviously had children in since there were chalk drawings all over the walls in the back garden and there were still marks where the stair guards had been fixed.

The First Cut
It was perfect grass cutting weather this morning when we got back from doing the weekly shopping. It was not so sunny to make it too hot, not to windy to make it too cold and above all it's not rained for a couple of days.

Where Wax Works
Barbara had to get out of the house today. She's not been well for the last couple of days and was feeling cooped up. It poured with rain all day. We got soaked simply walking to the train station. After a short ride on the train and another on the tube we then stood for about half an hour in the queue for Madame Tussauds while the rain attempted to drown us. Because it was so wet it appears that most of the tourists visited Tussauds today to get inside.

Gone But Not Forgotten
I was 16 when I got my first motorbike. Back in 1987 we didn't have to do any test to ride the 50cc bike, my parents bought me the bike to use to get to college on and I got on it and went.
The first trip I made was from my parents house to Maidstone where my grandparents lived, the journey is about 25 miles each way. I had no idea how to use the clutch and stalled the bike at every set of lights. Since the bike didn't have an electric start I spent a lot of time kick starting it. I stayed tight into the curb and my father followed me in his van as a support vehicle.

End Of 2001
My parents bought me heated handle grips for the scooter, it took dad and I a couple of attempts to get them wired correctly. The instructions said to wire directly to the battery but we wanted the grips to shut off with the ignition key. Though the cable from the ignition was suffice for a power we had to wire the return direct to the battery rather than to the chassis.

Oh Deer
While I'm still learning to ride I'm not allowed to take the scooter on the motorway, this means I have to take the more scenic route to and from work. This is no understatement, riding through Epping Forest is very scenic.

Dream Bike
Before I could ride my motorbike on the road I had to complete my CBT (Compulsory Basic Training), this I took on the 21st of November. I had to spend the morning doing slow, control exercises in a school playground followed by a couple of hours out on the road with an instructor in the afternoon.
