Happy birthday to blog...

So today's the first birthday of my blog... and what an exciting year's it's been in blogging terms, with literally... erm... about 35 posts. Wow.

Keep reading though for further adventures. Hmm.

The gift that kept on giving...

...as some of you may know, yesterday was my birthday. So V and I had booked the day off and were looking forward to a relaxing day, heading up to Flatford and Dedham to take in the sights of Constable Country, but yesterday morning when I came down into the kitchen I noticed, with my incredible powers of perception, that something was wrong... there was water all over the floor.

We'd put the washing machine on overnight and it had decided that this would be an opportune moment to break, covering the floor with water. Not entirely sure what went wrong, suffice to say that when I tripped the switch and the machine whirred into life again, it just continued to spit water out of its left-hand side.

So instead of having a nice relaxing start to my birthday, a lot of the morning was spent cleaning up my kitchen floor. Man alive, I know how to live...

Eventually we did get out and drove to Flatford and Dedham etc, and in the evening we had Cell Group round at ours and everything and it was all good.

And when people came to Cell I realised my day could have been a lot worse... As I write, the person who did have a worse day than mine hasn't blogged about it and I don't want to spoil the story too much but when they do I'll link to it...

My unfortunate doppelgänger...

Apologies for the lack of bloggage... again... but basically I haven't had much to say and, well, I can't  be bothered.   But then today something happened...
Following on from Katie's recent post about lookalikes I've, erm, managed to come up with one of my own.  Or rather I didn't, but just as we got home today and were about to get out of the car, V pointed out to me that the light was casting a shadow across the rearview mirror onto my face in an unfortunate way...
...leaving me looking like Hitler.  Hmm.
