My people call me the dude. I share my teachings in the passages below... (along with many typos, grammatical errors and lazy writing)
I received a free virtual gift from LiveJournal today... It's 18 years since I started my blog! Wow. That's a lot of live that's covered in here.
For those not in the know I moved from LiveJournal to Blogger in May 2008 and managed to migrate most of the old blog to this platform.

Spotted some funny sheep this morning on the dog walk. These guys are funny. Haircuts like Boris Johnson plus additional knee pads. What are they for? Inline skating?
One of next door's cats comes to see me most mornings. As soon as I open the window to give it a stroke it runs away. One day i'll get it.
This will be my fifth different company i've worked for in 3 and 3 quarter years. I'll be mostly validating again with perhaps a little bit of capital modelling.
A lovely lamb chop hotpot. Not bad but I foolishly dished mine up last and didn't get many crispy potatoes.
Arthur was especially cuddly when he woke up from his afternoon nap and wouldn't let me put him down. That is till he found his new game. He was very amused.
Arthur was up early on Sunday morning and nearly fell asleep whilst eating his lunch.
It's World Earth Day today so Flo's school let them dress up. Dress in blue or as a see creature. Flo chose the latter.
Lots of ducklings in the moat at Tonbridge Castle this morning. There were 12 at the weekend. How many are left? By my count, still 12.
8 of the core members of the Tonbridge Massive went out to the Forum in Tunbridge Wells on Saturday night, we were there to see Gaz Coombes of Supergrass fame. He was excellent. And came across as a very nice man.
10 of the Tonbridge Massive ventured out to Tonbridge Castle on Sunday afternoon. Not as warm as it had been over the previous week but it was nice.
One of Flo's favourite TV shows is numberblocks, so I bought her the base set to play with. She's already very good with numbers but it doesn't hurt helping her push herself a little.
Off to London today to see my mate James. Haven't seen him since before Christmas so will be good to catch up. Other than meeting in our favourite old pub (Counting House) there's no plan. I think I might grab a bite to eat first... Might be wise.
I popped to Bluewater this morning to grab a couple of cooking dishes from Le Creuset, but the real reason was to grab a cheeky Nandos! It's been so long. I've been thinking about going since I knew i'd be off for a few weeks. Only problem is I cannot stand the public. I hate people dawdling along aimlessly. I'm aware the issue is all mine, but doesn't stop me being annoyed.
The jukebox has been delayed till June which is a shame. It was originally planned to arrive for April's birthday but they've had supply chain issues. At least we haven't paid for it yet.
I went to Dene Park woods this morning with Arwen. She found a ball and insisted we play.
For some reason the last few times we've watched a game we've drank wine. We did have a couple of pints before hand in a different pub.
I won £80 from my local's (Ye Olde Checkers) today. I was stung a couple of weeks ago as much of the money was going to charity and the smallest thing I had on me was a tenner! Not bad. Should pay for a week's worth of drinks there. Only problem is they gave me a £50 note as part of the winnings. Now I have to try and get rid of it. I could always spend it there!
When I haven't been walking the dog i've been playing on my computer / getting admin done upstairs in my office. I can't stop myself looking for my second mouse and giving it a quick waggle.
Flo got me with this great joke on Saturday. She's been watching far too much Bluey! It's a pretty good show.
Some friend's of ours are getting some decorating done this week so invited us round yesterday to do some decorating of our own. Let's hope the kids don't think they can do this round ours...
But I don't start till the 25th! I wanted 2 weeks off in between, but they wanted the extra week as my boss would have been off the week before so didn't want to miss me during my first week. Other than not getting paid I like the extra time off. Other than every afternoon next week when I'm going to be looking after Flo the time is pretty much mine to do with what I want.
I've got nothing specific planned other than lots of long dog walks with Arwen. Shame the weather's turned. But there must be some nice dry days in the next few weeks.
