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!

Name:
Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

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

Change in Licencing Hours

Just how many journalists were in pubs into the early hours of Friday morning when a lot of pubs could go to 24 hour opening? Nice job if you can get it.

Lots of photos of Rafferty on Flickr.

Rafferty aged only a few hours

His mittens are too large for him:

Sam and Jonathan are pleased to announce the arrival of Rafferty Gordon Fredrick Xerxes Hall, on 24 October at 7:58 am.

Rafferty weighs 5 lb 2 3/4 oz and arrived a few days premature only! Sam and Rafferty are both doing very well, despite Sam having broken her foot 5 days before!

Love

Jonathan and Sam
