I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy... |
...Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. You're no Jack Kennedy.
So, after 3 and a bit years together, I finally got round to popping the question to Amy. And what do you know, she said yes! There are photos of the bling here.
We chose the ring together, a 0.53 carat brilliant cut diamond set in platinum. As an engagement gift, Amy got me a Breitling Aerospace Titanium Chronometer, which interestingly, my male friends seem to prefer to the ring for some reason.

All I want for Christmas is... |

...turkey without sand in it. :o)
Am posting this from Singapore, Changi airport. This may well be my last communique for a while. Apart from spending the night in Auckland with Amy's aunt, we'll be pretty much going straight to Totaranui, so I don't know when I'll get to a computer next.
Happy holidays to all, and hope you have a wonderful time.

Where there is much light... |

...there is also much shadow
Well, a week has passed and my dad spent most of his weekday evenings ripping through stone (in a careful and controlled manner) with a massive angle-grinder, so that Amy and I could have a beautiful patio. For this We commend him.
This morning, we laid all the stone that we'd had to cut, so all the actual laying of stone is now done! So now all we need to do is point it...

...and fell 8 miles high
Work has stalled a little on the patio front as we do various other things, including but not limited to helping John and Rosie move into their new flat in Camberwell, which looks superb.

...every sentence has its cost.
As you may have noticed, I've posted some work-in-progress photo's of our patio here. We spent the bank holiday weekend laying the concrete bed on which we're going to lay the slabs, and we're planning on laying the slabs during this week and next.
I've also put up a few new photos of Ollie and the garden.

...telling me I've got to beware.
Well! Lot's happened since I last posted news. I've got a new job with a company in the city, Linedata Services, based in Bishopsgate or there-a-bouts. They're an international company, with offices in London, Paris, Boston and beyond. They sell multi-platform financial software to all sorts of companies who want to be able to manage assets like pension funds, hedge funds etc.
I'm working there in the web-services team as a web developer, writing PHP/MySQL to support internal business processes. I've been there about 4 weeks now, and everyone there has been really nice. So far.. ;)
Amy and I have got a busy weekend ahead of us too. We're going to my brother's engagement party on Friday and my friends' wedding on Saturday (in Gloucester). Amy's putting on her house-wife hat and is contributing cakes enough for 80 engagement party guests and I'm striving inexorably to resist the temptation to scarf the whole damn lot.

...with no big fat woman
Apologies everyone! The pictures seem to be on the fritz for some reason, not caused by me. I think it's likely a problem with my hosting company, as things have been up and down for the last couple of days.
Also, some web-searches that point to pages on the site are now being randomly re-directed to other sites? Weird. :o)
E-Mail me if you have this problem and I'll try and fix it.

Media press has become an utter mess... |
...the opinions of failed popstars.
I've uploaded some pictures of Ollie Bethwaite-Henley for you all to enjoy.
I've seen my way clear to posting a few "work-in-progress" photo's of the garden. There's a nice juicy shot of the rotivator that my dad and Stuart skip-dived and brought back to life, without which we'd be nowhere near finished digging over the garden.

Money won't make you happy... |
...but allows you to choose your own form of misery.
We got our new kitten on Friday evening, and he's been so completely overwhelmed by everything that he divides his time between:
- Hiding behind the sofa;
- Hiding under the sofa;
- Hiding under the table; and
- Sleeping.
When he's not hiding, or sleeping, he runs exceedingly fast along the walls between his hiding place de jour and either his food or his litter tray. Truly remarkable.

Back to that same old place... |
...sweet home Chicago
I got home yesterday and found I'd won two tickets to go and see the Guinness Premiereship Rugby Cup Final tomorrow.
Gloucester Rugby v Leicester Tigers
Unfortunately I can't go because of work. If anyone wants to go, or knows someone else who does they're welcome to them. So, if you can pick them up from Edenbridge and still get to Twickenham by 1:45pm, let me know and you can have them for free.
