Last weekend we had a new arrival. Here is Tigger, the mad ginger kitteh.
I wonder if he’ll make it to icanhascheezburger before he calms down 😉

Failbook
After much badgering from my family I’ve finally, and reluctantly, opened up a Failbook account.
If anyone who knows me (realy life or online) wants to add me as a friend, feel free.
I will not be adding anyone I don’t already know.
PS. OK, so it’s not so easy to find my by name, I’m just too common (mwahaha). Try the email address made from the subject of this post at my domain name.

Rix and Elaine’s Wedding
This weekend, myself and my wife went to Burnley to attend the wedding of our friends Rix and Elaine.
The wedding ceremony was performed at Brierfield Baptist Church. The groom then had a great time driving us to Padiham Town Hall, in a preserved London Routemaster bus via his place of employment, for the reception.
Anyway, details aside, there are photographs of the event >>here<< and a playlist of the videos taken >>here<< 🙂

Meet Petal.
To compensate for the loss of Chocolate, we took Courtney to the pet shop and met Petal, an albino Syrian.
Although nervous, she’s he’s already easy to handle and is set to become another well loved pet 🙂
Yes, we’ve since realise that this hamster is male 😉

R.I.P. Chocolate
Today we took Chocolate the hamster to the vet, and lost another to the dreaded Cushing’s Disease 🙁

Meet Peanut.
Yesterday we get a hamster to move into Fudge’s home. She looks almost the same as poor old Fudge but is a bit wilder. She bit her way out of the box on the way home and has been squeaking a lot and nipping.
She’s calmed down quite a lot after being handled for the last hour though, so we have high hopes for another friendly creature 😉

R.I.P. Fudge
This morning we lost Fudge, the tamest hamster I’ve ever known. He was fine last night but was not looking well this morning and seemed to wait for Harry to get up so he could see him one more time before he passed on. He’ll be missed 🙁

R.I.P. Nibbles
Nibbles, the guinea pig, has been unwell for a while now. It started with her losing hair and getting lumps under her skin. She also had an almost constantly wet bottom, but was lively enough otherwise and as I suspected Cushing’s Disease, for which there’s no cure, I decided not to take her to the vet so she could have more time with us.
This last week or so she’s been losing a lot of weight and her teeth have been growing out of control, so on Friday, with a heavy heart, I took her to the vet and he put her to rest. She’s at peace now.

New Toy
I bought this from the compensation following my cycling accident:
It’s an HTC Advantage X7510, Pocket PC / Phone / GPS / Camera.
It arrived, following many delays, last Saturday and it’s an absolutely amazing piece of kit. Pricey but I did say I was going to get the best available and that I did.
Seen here in a docking cradle and yes, that is a mouse pointer. It’ll also read flash disks and output to a VGA / SVGA or Composite port.
It’s quite large for a phone, but I have another for voice and I did get it for data usage only. It does fit in my work shirt pocket, complete with keyboard (magnetic clip-on) so it’s just not too big as to be an inconvenience to carry. It also came with quite a few accessories.
A very worthwhile purchase, all-in-all 🙂

Google Street View
It seems this is coming to Cardiff. I spotted this near my home yesterday:
I have mixed feelings about this. It’s a nice idea but I have some concerns about privacy. OK, it only takes what you can see walking down the street anyway, but this archives it. Not sure how I feel yet.
