We are all growed up like adults

Hi everyone,

Sorry about the delay, this is my third attempt at this post. I've been halfway through when I've run off to do some work (just because they pay me they expect me to do things-how rude).

Well, Kat and I spent the weekend exploring our domestic side. Essentially we went hunting for bits and pieces for the house. We managed to get some book shelves and a breadmaker, and the spare bed is coming in the next couple of weeks. While having space for books and dvds is great, it's the breadmaker that has been the real winner. Fresh bread is the best, and now even I can't stuff it up. We've had various combination of sundried tomatos, cheese, cracked pepper and olives so far. I'm apparently losing my sanity, as I dream of a world where I can through the ingredients of what I would like on a sandwick in the breadmaker and pull out a loaf. To that end, I came home with a stick of pepperoni and some mushrooms to add to cheese, tomatos and herbs to make a very pizza-like loaf. So the question was did it work, and the answer is I don't know. Unfortunately we couldn't get the breadmaker to turn on, so we will have to take it back in the next couple of days to get a replacement. Stay tuned for an update on whether I get instant sandwiches or just laughed at by Kat.

We have also been planning our first trip into a premiership football match. Had planned to get tickets for the Aston Villa vs Tottenham game on the 1st of May, but the notice saying tickets were still available applied to about 10 tickets scattered around the ground individually. So we will get in quicker on Friday when tickets go on sale for Spurs vs Blackburn on the 15 th of May. Some might say I am not being very accomidating only agreeing to go to Spurs games, but I'll be damned if I'm going to see Chelski. Plus, Kat always gives in (don't tell her I said that).

Work is going well. Things are moving from the planning to the action stage for me. I've been getting my hands dirty, and things are just begining to get together. My biggest challenge is getting access to all of the equipment in different deparments that I need without it slowing me down for months. We're working on it. Kat seems to be enjoying work so far, but only 1 1/2 weeks in its hard to say much more.

Happy birthdays to (in no particular order) Angela and my lovely Mummy (quick, send money).

Great to see you are both settling in. I will keep this short until I'm confident this works. This is my second attempt at posting comments, I gave up the first time because it all seemed soooo technical. The only thing I will say is go Saints.
