Maybe this is fairly exciting and maybe it’s a disaster waiting to happen but Spielberg and Peter Jackson are making a trilogy of Tintin films together. They’re going to use motion capture – so in effect it will be real people made to look like a cartoon.

Also, Dod and Liv: I have been to badminton club on Mondays three times in a row and found it to be most excellent. Waiting times are almost nothing whereas excitement levels are pretty high. Fairly steap at £5 a time though. And anyway Dodman, I assume from you diagram that you have severed you two in twain.

A jolly time was had by all, despite the chilly conditions.

Ow!

Jul, welcome back to Blighty. I’m sure that you saw absolutely nothing of the UK from the air as you flew in due to the extreme cloud. We have been saving the crappy weather for you for some time now. April was on average 1c warmer than any other April in recorded history and we only 6% of the normal rainfall in the south east (which is suprises me since I’m sure we had none).

Now you’re back though we will be using our quota of grey, damp, miserable crap in one big clump of depression.

Oh, and I am around in the day at the moment for a little while before I start my new job at some time in the next couple of weeks. Mayhaps it shall clear up and dry up suficiently for a crud duel.

It says “No Smoking” on that sign, in two languages.

heading to singapore tonight and then back home the day after tomorrow.

looking forward to getting back, but really dont want to leave. 🙂

see you all soon.
