I posted something along these lines on Twitter yesterday – though obviously confined to the 140 character limit Twitter imposes… which, let’s face it, I’m amazed I ever manage to actually adhere to!

Fatherhood²
I think some of you knew this day was going to come sooner or later. Today I can officially announce that, if all goes to plan, Sara and I are going to be parents again in the summer of 2011. I am writing this blog post on October 26th – the day after our 5…

My Year in Photos – December 30th – "Lego be thy name", originally uploaded by henweb. At the end of a long but ultimately fruitful year, it’s nice to know I haven’t had to grow up TOO much – big thanks to my Mother-in-law for the only Lego set I received this year (pictured). I…

My Year in Photos – December 27th – "Pet shops are dangerous places", originally uploaded by henweb. We went in to “Pets at Home” today, as part of a medium-scale sales shopping trip. Robert particularly enjoyed looking at the hamsters, rabbits and fish – though he wasn’t particularly keen on this tank. I can’t imagine…
Video of the Day – Fry and Laurie, Tricky Linguistics
Another classic (meaning both old AND brilliant!) piece of comedy from Messrs Fry and Laurie, back in around 1988…
My Year in Photos – December 26th – “Like a sledge-runner”
My Year in Photos – December 26th – "Like a sledge-runner", originally uploaded by henweb. The highlight of my Boxing Day today was sledging on the hill next to my parents’ house – a rather small hill it has to be said, but it was perfect for sledging with a two-year-old in your lap! Robert…
