6 Year and 3 months Later….

on:…it’s time for a post!
But no I’m not planning to start blogging again. I would however like to direct you towards my Daughter’s new blog.
I’ve literally never looked at my blog for around 5 years, and I can’t believe the babba pictured in most of my posts has now decided she would like to start to write one aged all of 9 years old!

WordPress now has an iPhone app so this one is just a test really.
Moved blog from blogger to wordpress which will prob mess the format of existing posts but prob worth it if it means I can quickly post from my phone….
>So what’s been happening…?

He was 13 days late in arriving so kept us hanging on, and then when he did decide to make an appearance it was done in a hurry…!

>…so it saves me having to type long blog posts….!
I stayed at the Village Hotel with Peter and the two Ushers the night before the wedding. The reception was at North Shields Registry Office and then everyone headed back for a Garden Party at Joanne and Peter’s house, where yes I had to make a speech!
The evening doo was then at Seaton Sluice club.
O’Brien Flickr Set and Slide Show.
Also took Abigail to SevenStories for the first time in August, and she loved it.
It was early on a Sunday morning and she basically had the run of the place.
Definitely somewhere we’ll take her too more often and it’s probably also somewhere relaxing to go when we’ve two children in tow…!

In September it was Andrew (Maddy) and Sara’s wedding, and I was an Usher.
The whole day was at Doxford Hall, which I have to say is one stunning place.
Maddison Wedding Flickr Set and Slideshow.
Then finally just to explain the last of the Flickr photos, I attended a charity day at The Races where I got to meet Alan Shearer and current Newcastle Goal Keeper Steve Harper.
On the subject of photographs, I recently came to the conclusion that it’s time I moved on from Compact Digital Cameras to the real deal Digital SLR Camera format.
Sold my old one on good old eBay and the new one is due to arrive any day now, so expect a shed load more pics starting to appear on Flickr….! Could have waited for possible bargains in the sales but I need to make sure I’m familiar on how the thing works before baby no.2 arrives, and as you can see from the count down at the top of this page that’s really not long at all now.
Jen is doing really, really well and she literally NEVER moans or complains during pregnancy. Don’t get me wrong I know she’s getting towards her limit now and is about ready to pop, but it has to be said that she’s an amazing mother.
It’s also a bit worrying that people are forever commenting that she suits being pregnant….!!!!
>Time to Blog Off?

Another geeky post I’m afraid…! Just trying to decide whether to switch Blog host providers from here to HERE
Time to WordPress?
Posted August 13, 2009
on:My Blog’s been with Blogger/Blogspot from day one, but I’m thinking it might be time to switch to WordPress.com.
WordPress has been around for years and I’ve resisted until now, but the fact there is a WordPress iPhone Application might be the final nail in the coffin for Blogspot. (Michele if you’re reading this, I think that was something you were keen on?!).
Still undecided a bit and just thinking out loud here really. Move will be transparent anyway as I will just forward thecornells.co.uk address to here instead of the blogspot address.
>It’s time for me to have another rant..!
Following on from my earlier post about Swine Flu and how I think it’s being blown massively out of proportion by the press and the powers that be in this Country, I was disgusted to read one of the bits of advice on the National Childcare Trust’s (NCT) website;
So they are reporting that the DoH advises people trying for a baby should wait until the Swine Flu situation calms down! You’ve probably heard about all the back tracking and re-wording which has taken place since this statement but I’m still astounded that it was even said..!
– Surely they must have realised how this would make recently pregnant women feel?!
– As for the reference to couples in the middle of IVF treatment, it’s got to be one of the most stressing things to go through as it is, and thinking positive must be hard enough without having this doubt to consider.
– So a possible population dip and then the following population explosion when things calm down would be acceptable would it?! Where are we here – 1944 in the middle of World War II?!
– Given the plight of the Country now with an ever increasing Measles problem because of the supposed MMR advice, surely there should be greater controls on such press releases by now?!
The more this Swine Flu situation rolls on, the more and more despondent I get with the Country’s approach to handling it!
I’ll finish with this cartoon from the Daily Mail;
