Hot Chocolate?

This is a bit of a test post I guess but if it works it’ll be the first sent via email!

Just been to get a hot chocolate at the canteen, not the best use of a pound I could have found. I’ve now tried it with hot water and then with milk and either way it’s a very insipid drink. Too much liquid and not nearly enough chocolate. They used to sell the most amazing hot choc I’ve ever tasted, like liquid heaven but it was too time consuming to make and the machine kept breaking down so we’ve been relegated to the instant variety :-( Even Aero make a better deal of instant choc, at least it pretends to be thick and bubbly so think I’ll skip the liquid refreshment next time or maybe buy a bottle of cold drink instead…

Worked reasonably well except for the crap added to the bottom of works email ;-)

Macbeth Soliloquy...

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I remember having to learn this off by heart when I was at school, can't remember much of it now but the thoughts behind it have stayed with me.

Busy Bee

Been a busy bee in Paradise today, been putting the data into a monthly planning report that "analyses" the latest schedule update and hopefully proves useful to those that read it.

Better than yesterday when at home I almost ripped out my nose piercing when it got caught up on a loop on the towel. Considering that my nose is playing up big-time anyway this was not a good thing to have happen :-( Dont wanna have to consider retiring it as I quite like it but it's the longest that its been "iffy" for. Dont think it was this bad when it was pierced!

Baby William is gaining weight again, after a bit of a panic about his weight loss since birth it looks like he's getting the hang of this feeding lark. To be honest I think everyone worries a little too much, babies are not a science and they are all different, all this micro-probing does is stress everyone out which is definitely not good for the baby! It must be pretty traumatic for them being born, they go from having to do nothing to get nourishment to having to wear clothes, nappies and work for their food, enough to freak anyone out! Anyway Mummy Jo seems to have him under control now so fingers crossed he settles down into life in the Letley family :-)

New Letley Addition!

Let me introduce the latest addition to the Letley family, William Henry Letley. Born on 1st Feb 2011 almost a month early and weighing in at just over 7.5lb he is George's new baby bro'.

Named after Jo's Grandad and our Grandad, the names William and Henry appear prominently in the Letley family tree.

Congratulations to Jo, Darren and George on the newest arrival. x

New Year 2011

Here's Julia & James celebrating the New Year at the Texas Moon. We all had a good night especially as the Xmas do was cancelled due to the snow. Hopefully it will be re-held before we get too far into the new year although there's always the continued threat of more bad weather...
