Information Takes Over

Not normally being one to forward office e-mail jokes indiscriminately, it comes as a nice change to feel as though you are a hand-picked chosen one. Thanks Richard! (welcome to personal blogging by the way!)
The only complicated part may well be choosing who to tag next…

But enough, on with “reveal five things about yourself”…

1. Lime jelly is a favourite food, along with Lime Marmalade and Chocolate Limes, so when i wrote a CMS (very simple, and runs www.timhodson.com), I was going to call it lime jelly. However, I couldn’t because at the time there was a site using the name. So I plumped for a second favourite, (second as in alternative) which was teacake.
2. I once was the male chorus in the Sound of Music Playing a member of the Von Trap household staff , a guest at the party, the Vicar, and a Nazi Youth. It was a three and a half week run, and as well as being some what fatigued by the end of it, I never want to hear it again!
3. I am a children’s entertainer (in what spare time I have left at the moment), performing Albert Ironstain’s Puppet Theatre.
4. I am a perfectionist, and believe if a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing properly. Consequently if I don’t think it’s worth it, you have no chance…
5. I collect Meat Mincers, currently having around 30. I use one that looks exactly like this one on a regular basis. Perfect for breadcrumbs and chopped nuts, and is easier to clean than the food processor!

But who to Tag? Tony Hirst, Bonaria Biancu, Jules, and I think everyone else has been ‘it’.

There has been yet more outage in this corner of the web. My hosts HDD failed on christmas eve, and it’s taken a while to get everything straightened out. but we are back, and hopefully non too worse for wear.

Just so as you know. I now have a new URL for this blog, www.informationtakesover.co.uk. The old URL will still work, but wordpress will be using the new one from now on.

These images where all taken at about midnight on Christmas day 2004. It had tried to snow in the morning, but nothing came of it, so I was very supprised when I heard an excited shriek from Julie as she looked out the front door and saw snow!

So what could we do? We went for a walk down to the river, to be the first people to leave footprints! When we came back we found that someone on their bike had had a merry drive around the close, all over people’s lawns (there are no fences here). It rather spoilt the peaceful unspoilt softness that is new laid snow, but I can empathise with their excitement and desire to make tracks!

These photos are all exposures of up to five minutes for the longest. It was really quite beautiful, the moon was almost full, the skies where clear, and their was a thick mist from the river drifting across the fields.

I should have taken more pictures.

My sister and her husband have just this very day taken delivery of a Daniel Edward Model I Bushell. He comes fully equipped with pink downy upholstery, and a full tank of screen wash! I expect he is also fully supplied with a waste disposal system, but I am not going to get into that one.

Albert says he can book this day in two years time for a party if you’re interested Katie?
