We’re in Pluckey, Kent for a couple of days with Helen’s uncle and aunt. So far we’ve been for a really nice walk in the countryside and had some great food.
Today we’re off out for a day trip, although not exactly sure where yet.
Anyway, should be fun! And we’re back in Coventry on Wednesday night!
I’ve just downloaded the WordPress application for my iPod Touch and am writing this post from my iPod!
It’s amazing really - can’t quite believe it’s this easy to write on my blog.
I really can’t wait to get an iPhone…
Actually a work of genius! I have been so excited about this for so long that I was beginning to try and dampen my excitement in order to not spoil my enjoyment, but I am pretty sure that nothing could have spoiled my enjoyment. Heath Ledger hype is deserved. He was amazing. Christian Bale was equally brilliant and a good match to Ledgers Joker. Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent was also fabulous. I dont really know how to describe it. If after I have seen it again I have better and more useful words than go see it I will write again!
On Sunday, Helen and I went to Cambridge to meet up with a few friends and see my sister. It was a really nice time as we spent the time as tourists by going punting and wandering around the shops (although not slowly like the stupid tourists that wander around at 0.01mph!). It was great to relax and enjoy the place.
Now we’re back in Witney with Helen’s family which is great, but it has also meant we’ve had to start doing job searching again. I’ve just finished putting together my CV which I’ve managed to send off to a couple of places. Also, Paul is kindly helping me put together a new design for my online CV website, so hopefully that will be live soon.
Anyway, is it really worth getting a job when the stresses of writing CVs, covering letters and then sending them off by far outweighs the fun that can be had on a day visiting a lovely town in England? I think really I do want to get a job soon though… just still looking for that perfect job!
I’ve finally finished sorting out my CV (barring the odd small change or two) and now am in a position to send it off to some companies to see if I can get some interviews and then maybe some job offers.
There’s a couple of companies I’ve liked the look of, so I think they are good places to start and then I’ll just see what happens from there. I’m looking at engineering consultants and general engineering companies at the moment, but it’s just so hard to find a company that looks like they’ll be doing the sort of work I want to go into.
But anyway, wish me luck for finding something!
This has had fabulous reviews all around, and i have to say they were deserved. Its an interesting film because there is very little talking, particularly at the beginning when there is none at all. It is a real feel good, happy story with, of course, a moral base. It has some very very funny bits, and generally something that was really very very good! Definatly worth seeing. Fabulous!
I loved this. Im not convinced that as a film it was truly fabulous, but it was great. In a large part because of the 3D which was just wicked! I like Brendan Fraser a lot, and this was very much in his style. It was funny, in places touching and a very good adventure. I took my sister and felt a little ashamed when i grabbed her arm at one point when she seemed fine, but it was great fun. Definatly worth watching. But make sure you go somewhere its in 3D cos the first cinema we went to didnt. And they didnt tell us so we got through most of the adverts before we realised. And it is so good in 3D!
This was funny, musical and well, funny! I really enjoyed it, im not convinced everyone would, i think if you have a hatred of Abba or an intense dislike of musicals you are likely not to enjoy it so much. But despite the fact that Pierce Brosnan couldnt really sing very well and other people seemed a little croaky it was impossible not to laugh. It is a real feel good film, fabulous and bright and lovely! I came out happy, if a little grumpy due to the unsupervised children in the cinema making a racket and being a pain in the arse. GRR!
I have been using twitter for just over a month and I’m hooked!
Twitter is like the facebook ‘Paul is…’ part but without all the other crap that does with it!
They describe it better so here is a quick youtube video:

I had my first slight issue with Leopard today. Basically I tried to plug my iPod touch in, but iTunes wouldn’t recognise it at all! It’s really strange, but I’m going through a troubleshooting process which is outlined on the Apple support website and hopefully that will work. I’m not sure if the issue is Leopard specific, but it was working fine before I upgraded, so I guess it must be something that Leopard did when it installed which decided to break iPod touch support.
Oh well, fingers crossed that this fix will all work smoothly.
