Our stay in hospital
Well, the twins are officially 2 days old now, and this is Camille’s third night in hospital. I must say that I’m constantly impressed at how good the staff on the Jane Crookall at Nobles Hospital. All the staff have been great, from the...

Need new specs soon ..
I’m going to have to get a new pair of specs soon. Not that I’m having problems seeing; I’m pretty sure my lens prescription hasn’t really changed. However, for some reasons my specs start getting a green thing where sweat bui...
Shaving with Azor
I got my hands on an Azor blade the other day which looks like an interesting product to be playing with. The blade is supposed to last for ages so I’m looking forward to giving it a whirl. I know they’re running a campaign here in the UK...

So we just got back from holiday last night and tonight I’m already out and about. It’s the Isle of Man Social Media club do; It’s usually on the Third Thursday of the month, but this month it’s on the fourth; which is perfect...
