We do what we have to do

It’s interesting to be involved in supporting people; even though this is just a hobby for me. There are hundreds of firms around the world that supply computer services Orange County all the way to China. I’m not sure if I could ever run a firm like that, as I’m usually happy to help people out just to see their face light up when things work for them. Can’t feed the family on happy faces though … hence the day job!

It’s been an interesting week on the IT front, particularly as I had a lot of mates who seemed to have all sorts of computer problems. From Carol’s AVG who refused to start up, all the way to John’s mobile which refuses to show its contacts; and Steven’s mail which just refused to send email. Some I managed to help, others I didn’t but it’s just funny how you get those weeks where everything just seems to be going haywire.

Long weekend

It's nice to have a long weekend every now and again. Spend time with the family, grab your golf equipment and head off the the golf course, take the family to Butlins .. there are a million and one things you can be doing. Me, I'll be spending time with Arthur and Camille, we have lots of things to do around the house and who knows, maybe we'll get to spend some time outdoors, if the weather holds up.

The UK have a number of these Bank Holidays which are basically national holidays. Next Monday is Spring Bank Holiday; of which I have no idea what the origins are .. but hey it's a long weekend.

Something to wear

I'm a big fan of T-shirts, probably preferring to wear them to anything else I have in my wardrobe. It's partly because or the comfort factor, but predominantly because they allow you to express a degree of individuality; wear your preferences the outside, if you know what I mean. I particularly like this Mixed Martial Arts T-shirt shown here; it's cool isn't it?

I guess different people prefer wearing different things. I don't have the skirts vs trousers dilemma; but I do have the casual vs smart thing thrown at me every now and again. But for me it's T-shirts any time!

Arthur and K'Nex

We had a whale of a time playing Arthur's K'Nex over the weekend. He's a bit young for it, but he's happy to join up things together and build random thing. I've taken the role of building things for him based on what he picks from the book and that's proving to be lots of fun too.

He seems to have a building streak going, so in the future he'll be fixing cars maybe and playing with Polaris RZR accessories. But in the meantime it's going to be just blocks and pieces. Anyway, if anyone has any spare K'Nex blocks they're not using ... you know where to drop them ;)

What do you like playing with?
