Was snowing heavily last night and the result can be seen below. Now its still snowing here which means that the UK will be in turmoil as a little bit of snow makes it impossible to get around as us Brits are never prepared. I have dug out (no pun intended) an old photo of the snow from about 3 – 4 years ago so we can see if we are getting more snow or less.

The other day I caught my cat Scruffy watching TV with his mates and they were so engrossed with the television that I was able to snap a photo of them.
theres mousey, hampster and fishy all sitting with Scruffy.
My old chum finally made it down to the Farrow residence to visit, first time in nearly 6 years of being here in our current property.
He immediately got on with Scruffy and both posed for a photo, although as you can see, Chris was a little distracted, he was busy hacking one of the neighbour’s wireless networks with his Psion 5 (has he still got that thing – time warp or what !!).

Thought it was time for another photo to brighten up the blog, so saw this critter in my garden and snapped him.
My little Scruffy went and had his yearly flu jab yesterday. Hes feeling a little sad today though, I guess its taking its toll on him as it is like having cat flu but not in a large dose. Hopefully he will feel better tomorrow.
Had a chat with my old mate Rick Marden last night. Same old stuff what are we going to do to make us millionares? Were like a couple of old boys when we get together on the telephone. Any way he is alive and well and looking toward the future of 2005 for all those that know him.
Infact he was telling me about this new light cube that his wife bought for her design work, apparently its like a tent and is white with lots of light.
Take a look at her handy work, prizes go to whoever can tell me what it is !!
Well its the first day of the new year – 2005. Its been raining here in the UK but quite mild for the time of the year. Lets hope this year is better than the last, happy new year !!
All over for another year will have to take down the tree soon, new year in a little while …
At least little Scruffy had a good time, he got a new green fishy toy !!

I saw a couple of weeks ago that Orange are now doing the new SPV C500 Microsoft Smart Phone as a free upgrade, so thought I would take advantage of that when my plan was up for renewal. Initial thoughts on the new phone is that it is lightweight and bulk free compared to the other phone and it seems not to eat batteries.
Bad thoughts are that there is no desk holster available unlike the E200 which is a little bit of a pain but there is a usb cable so it can plug into it. Other downsides are that the SD has to go in under the battery and this is fiddly and took me a little while until I got to work out exactly how it slots in 🙂
Other than that upgrade was seamless and it certainly does feel good. Here are the shots of it.
After using it for a couple of months, I would even say its one of the best phones I have ever owned !!
