I am such a proud father !

I came home last night to find my son all kitted out, ball in hand and ready to hand off any challengers.

What a boy.....


My time in Austin Texas

Last week I spent the week in Austin Texas for work. I only took a couple of photos after hours and here they are .....


The 'Dillo - I assume some free public transport. I kept seeing these meander around.


This was the location of my hotel


American cube hell - what you want to work in cubes. I think the EU open plan office is a far better way to work - what do you think?


The Team


My hire car was big, and very much underpowered. Plus, couldnt turn the lights off !


This is what I should have hired


Austin is the state capital (not CapitOl) of Texas and from many roads you can see their parliament building. Yep, its the small one in the middle.

Cottage Weekend

In April 2008 we went to a cottage in Nottinghamshire with Claire's housemates from University. Whereas these used to be rather more raucous affairs, nowadays there are 6 children in tow. Here are some photos from the weekend.
