On the beach

Our job today went a bit sour. We did all we could until just after 11am, then got told we couldn't do the final connections until after 1pm (which turned into 2pm) So being near the seaside we headed for the beach. It was just above freezing but the sun was shining brightly.

Heavy rain

The last few days have seen some monster rain, hours and hours of downpours that have left roads flooded and fields swamped. This is the flood plains adjacent to the A33 doing their job.

Full moon

When I got in from work today, the moon was looking spectacular. Huge and bright and dominating the sky. There were some spooky clouds around it too, but by the time I'd got my gear sorted they had cleared. Still its a nice view.

Massive tablet

In a customer reception today they have installed a Microsoft Surface, a table with a funky touch screen PC built into it. Sadly they were only using it displaying a non interactive over head view of a pond.

I'll take both please

The A4 into London became a lot more interesting a few months ago when Landmark Cars opened a new classic car showroom. The stock changes quite often so you get some good spotting whilst sat in the traffic.

I'm so dizzy

Its very nearly December, so I'm not too annoyed that Christmas is being plastered everywhere (it has been since mid August!) Wokingham held its annual Winter Carnival today, closing off the streets and allowing stalls to sell crafts and food as well as a funfair. For the first time, Lily was asking to go on the rides and for treats. I know its going to get worse in the future, but she asked so nicely! A ride on the whirling chairs was treated with slight suspicion and then she spied the teacups ride. All the way to Cafe Nero, along all the stalls, at the cash point and whilst buying a Peppa Pig balloon all she kept asking was "I wanna ride teacups Daddy" So for £2 each, Kim and Lily spun round for a few minutes and loved it.

Do you know where I can get felt?

Its an old gag and answer is the haberdashery department! Or from the crafting table of my wife who knocked up this little felt heart as a practise run for a Guide activity she's planning on doing this week. She's a talented one.
