ANZAC
This post was written by Marc in the category(ies) News No Comments »
Here in NZ (and Australia) it’s ANZAC day – the day that we remember our war dead.
War does not determine who is right – only who is left.

We just had great fun trying to get Max to take a bottle for the first time We are going to see David Gray in concert in the middle of next month and as Nana Jan will be babysitting he needs to be able to have a bottle for at least one feed.
What a bloody palava it was trying to get him to feed tonight! He absolutely hated it and got more and more wound up as we went along and even got to that stage where he goes beyond crying and into whole body sobs 🙁 Not only was he really upset but Vic was almost in tears watching me trying it on with him, bless her. In the end he took about 40ml of expressed breast milk but that took about an hour and there was no real sucking involved – I think it just dribbled down his throat!

This is a print screen from Zone Alarm Pro on my PC. Since I got broadband a little while back I thought I should use some protection (the lessons from my Mother came back to haunt me years later ) and so I installed Zone Alarm. As you can see, since then there have been 462 intrusions and 138 of these have been classed as “high-rated”
Now I’m not an expert in internet security but this seems a bit harsh. What’s really scary is what these were and what might have happened if I wasn’t using an electronic prophylactic!

My first post on this weblog was 19 March 2002. Well over a year ago and I can’t believe that I completely missed this momentous occasion!
I’m thinking about putting Lynda’s Today in History hack in for a bit of a laugh

screwed up

yep – a new look! Given my genuine lack of web related skill things are bound to be a bit screwed up around here for a wee while.
Missing are the search, links, stats and archives sections. Does anyone actually use them?

I discovered a wonderful little shop 30 yards from our house today – Harrington’s Smallgoods. They make continental meatgoods and so I nipped over and bought 2.2 lbs of haggis I love haggis and ate a lot when I was in Scotland a couple of years ago – now all I need to do is organise Neeps and Tatties.
Now for something really geeky – I love this watch! Very handy and not bad looking for what it is…….
