Edie Rose

Clare and I would just like to say thanks for all your messages. It’s been a bit hectic around here, but I will get back to you – promise! We decided on a name for our baby girl on Sunday. It’s Edie Rose, which we think fits her perfectly. Clare’s parents came up to visit [...]

I’m a Dad

Our lovely baby girl arrived at 2.03am this morning, weighing in at 8lb and 13oz. Mother and baby are happy and healthy and I’m rather knackered. I’m not ashamed to admit that my eyes welled up with manly mist. Today would have been my Dad’s 79th birthday. It’s funny how these things work.

Plugging my Pals: The Blog of Beth

My Worcester-based friend Beth now has a blog. You can find it here. Hopefully, her fiancé Phil will get his finger out and start one, too. The Blogosphere sorely needs his wit, wisdom and excitable rants…

It all happened rather quickly, and seeing as the new place is currently sans phoneline I haven’t had many online opportunities to [...]

Fook!

Clare and I went to see the Foo Fighters at Wembley last night. It was at very short notice: we were given the tickets by a friend of Clare (thanks Beth!). I wasn’t what you might call a hardcore fan, but I thought they’d be fun. As it happened, the gig was utterly mind-blowing and [...]

Orphanage in Bruges

Well, I didn’t manage to catch the Jaws night at The Electric, but I did venture out to the picture palace twice in the last week. The Guillermo Del Toro produced, Juan Antonia Bayona helmed The Orphanage was rather good. More of a good old-fashioned ghost story than an out-and-out horror pic (despite one visceral [...]
