Tag: birthday

Typical!

I said I’d write more about Maine when  i got home.

That was a month ago. I’ve not even gone through the 600+ photos I took and worked out which ones to upload to Flickr so I can include them in here.

So what have I been up to?

Well I’ve upgraded WPMU that this site uses and debugged someones WPMU plugin to get it to work with subdirectories.

I’ve also been recoding the Canalplan tagging code so that it works properly as a plug in without having to edit core WPMU files. Also I had to recode some of it to cope with the Global Tags plugin because it lost track of the blog it should have been pulling the information from. This means that Global Tags that pull back mapped / logged entries actually work and display the summary information and / or the map rather than blank spaces.

It was my birthday yesterday… 42! Good God. It hardly feels like yesterday when we were doing the Gloucester Road Pub crawl for my 30th birthday and I remember half the people wanting to watch England crash out of the Euro competition… which they did!

Colds and stuff

Well after the trip on the boat last weekend I went down will the mother of all colds. I was OK on Tuesday but by the time Wednesday rolled out I was feeing stuffed up and my throat was hurting.

Woke up on Thursday morning feeling like a train wreck : tonsils all inflamed, no voice, stinking headache, hot and cold sweats – the works. Spent half of the day asleep. Went to bed early and got up on Friday still feeling pretty ropey and all sweaty and clammy.

It seemed a shame to waste the weekend – its the first good one we’ve had for a bit and so many things needed doing: the front lawn needed mowing and there was stuff to do round the house but frankly I just didn’t have any enthusiasm.

Last night we went out to celebrate Richard’s Birthday – started with drinks at Laze Daze and ended up with a curry at Mahek’s which has become, amongst our friends, the favourite place to go for a curry.
