Thought it was time for another photo to brighten up the blog, so saw this critter in my garden and snapped him.

Scruffy had his flu Jab Yesterday
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.
My Old Mate Rick
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 !!
January 1st 2005
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
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 !!
(above pictures of Scruffy taken with mobile phone camera on the SPV C500 mentioned in the below post)
SPV C500 replaces my old SPV E200 on an Orange Tariff
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 !!
Voice Over IP
A friend of mine just recommended using Skype which is a voice over IP product.
Had a go and I must say it works very well, I have used other products which are similar and run across the internet and are very choppy but this has fantastic quality.
Plus they have hooked up with telecommunications companies to provide access to the normal phone network which means from your computer you can call a normal telephone number in the world for just over a penny a minute.
A little bit of amusement – Bagpuss
Now the team have been on at me for some time to put this on my blog. Its been sitting on my desk for a couple of months collecting dust.
I thought it would make a good christmas present.
Dont forget to press its tummy…

Marriage on the Way !!!
Met up with some old friends Richard Jeffery and Tracy McMillan over the weekend, haven’t seen them for about 3 years. They were both looking well and it was as though we had only seen each other recently, not as long as 3 years.
They did have an announcement “they have got engaged”. Good luck is what I say.
Here is a picture from the pub, not too good a photo though…
