Just bought myself a ps3
I thought i was getting a little low on technology, only having a Xbox (or a couple of them), and a xbox360.

Coffee Test
Found this silly test on the internet. Thought it was quite funny especially as I HAVE had a lot of coffee today!

New movies
A couple of pretty good movies, we have watched recently.
The new DR seuss film (horton hears a who). (Great film)
Also watched The savages which is a movie about a family and how it copes with their parents when they get older. I thought i was great.

Janey ran the Marathon!
What a day - long and gruelling (and that was just for the spectators!)
It's an early start whatever you're doing that day - Jane was out of the house at 06:45 as her start (the Blue Start) was at the other side of town. We left about an hour later and got a train almost immediately. We got off at London Bridge tube and walked parallel to the river towards Tower Bridge, along Tooley St and we found the pub, already awake with people and stuff happening, by about 9am.
We got ourselves set up with banner and balloons and settled down to wait. We didn't have to wait long for the 1st excitement....Mark! It'd had been a LONG time since I'd seen him and it was so lovely to catch up. Mum and Dad said 'what a lovely young man that Mark is'!!! I'm inclined to agree. After that we didn't have too long to wait until the elite ladies and wheelchair competitors came whizzing past (and I DO mean whizzing) check out the photies of them (blurry)!
Then Emma arrived with her friend Gill, they were most impressed with our spot - it was a very good find!
Next exciting thing was the elite men - they went past even quicker - so quick that we missed Baldini - reigning Olympic Champion - who we'd been waiting for for at least 20 minutes so we could all shout 'Forza Italia' - so much for that idea!
After that we settled down to wait for our own runners
11:50 brought Ruthie! High as a kite and twice as excited! (Check out her pics) She only stopped to get another bit of food and with an 'I love you all' she zipped off - heading for a really stonking 4:30 pace. We were in awe!
Janie was the next to pitch up - around 12:20 the rain had stopped a little and so we got a bit of a view of her coming along the road - grinning like the Cheshire Cat!!! She hung out with us for a good few minutes - even popping to the loo in the pub (where the kind ladies let her jump the queue!!!) - before having an energy gel and zooming off herself - grinning and smiling along the way.
A few minutes after that, Steve stopped by for a brief peck on the cheek with Emma, but was obviously on a roll and couldn't stop for long. Off he went and the support team were on their own again.
After a fond farewell we went our separate ways with Mum, Dad, Daniel and I going for a bit of a wander along the Thames, before heading to Charing Cross for the end of the race.
We met up with Kev for an hour or so before he had to go and get on the bus home (which was lovely) and then, by about 3pm we were at the designated meeting place to await the championessa!
We were *just* about starting to get worried when she turned up at about 3:40, her dodgy knee having given her gyp for the last few miles.
We then headed back to Ealing for a celebratory TAPAS meal (close to home) and then went back to the flat and we all crashed - it was pretty knackering for the spectators as well!!!!
Too much excitement for one day!

What's the weather doing?
It's 3pm Sunday afternoon and we're watching the snow, again, probably for the 6th or 7th time this weekend! In between the snow showers we've had BIG hailstones (when we were walking accross Sainsbury's carpark) and bright sunshine! What on earth is going on with the weather?
