Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

News of future new arrival

To anyone that we didn't email:

Dear all,

A short message to pass on the exciting but very slightly scary news that we are halfway to becoming parents!

Half way in this case means that I am now 20 weeks pregnant, being due on 2nd November. Actual date of arrival though is anybody's guess. If baby takes after me it will arrive early to avoid being the last to turn up and thus miss out on a good seat/welcome drink/freebies, and if it takes after Jonathan it will use the stated time as a guideline only, using the logic that no-one expects you to turn up then anyway, and nobody will be there until the pubs shut, so I've got time to cut the lawn/do the crossword/invent a new gadget. So, I guess anytime in October or November is possible.

20 week scan this week went well, all things that should be there are there, in the correct place and the correct size. Things that shouldn't be there appear to be absent. Baby has the erstwhile name of Tigger after the amount of bouncing that is done throughout the day/night, most of which seems to take place on or very near my bladder.

My mum has gone into baby knitting overdrive, while Jonathan's mum is still trying to come to terms with the shock, having been convinced that the nearest thing she would get to grandchildren would be Buddy (our greyhound).

So, all in all the Hall household is in for a bit of a change soon.

Love and hugs to all
Sam and Jonathan
Xxxxx
