Base Jump

This weekend we're heading up to Leicester to visit Sam and Mark. In honour of Mark and his seeming addiction to jumping out of planes, I'll post a cool video:

Easter break and our anniversary

It was our 6th wedding anniversary last Saturday and we haven't posted in a while, so here's a quick rundown of 6 of the fun things we did over the 4 day Easter break:
- went to see Stomp in the West End on Thurs (so much fun!)
- went for a walk around Ightham Mote on Friday
- went out for lunch at Petitou on Saturday
- had dinner at Ganapati (great local Indian restaurant), also on Saturday (yes, we were full by the end of the day!)
- had an Easter dinner with family on Sunday
- went to Greenwich park on Monday
Lovely!!

p.s. check out this rather odd Easter animation - the Angel is played by a dalek if the voice is anything to go by!

Chuck Norris

Remember:
In an average living room there are 1,242 objects Chuck Norris could use to kill you, including the room itself.
When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

It had to be done... how could we not mention the hero that is Chuck Norris.
To learn more about the great man himself, visit his own website here (make sure you have your sound on to enjoy Chuck's personal welcome), or check out some of the many true facts about him here.

Manchester

Through the wonders of modern technology, I'm updating our blog whilst sat at a desk in my hotel room in Manchester. I'm up here for a work conference...

The Grand National

This weekend the Grand National took place. To make watching the race more interesting, we decided to place a bet on three horses, one for each of us. We bet on the following horses:
Ant - Clan Royal - placed 3rd
Jude - Numbersixvalverde - won (!)
Annie - Garvivonnian - pulled up at fence 17.
What a result! We only bet 50p stakes, but with high odds on Jude's horse won around £7. In my opinion, it just goes to show that gambling does pay...(at least for a couple of take-away fish and chips).

Knole Park

We went to Knole Park this afternoon. What a great place - full of deer. We had a great time - click on the photo to see a very brief slide show...

April Fools Day

Today is April Fools Day, so I thought I'd play a prank on Annie... I went to the Wanadoo (our broadband provider) free email accounts and registered the address syst_admin@.... I then sent this email to our home address:

If its too small, the text reads: "Dear member, Recent activity on your system account has been flagged by our automated web-sentry as involving suspicious or illegal activity.

I'm pleased to say that it worked!! hahahaha
