Location: Chelmsford, Essex, United Kingdom

What to say? I'm a 42 yr old Essex guy, married to Sue and with no kids. I work locally with Royal Mail, and spend a lot of spare time online, or doing the things in the interests box. I took up golf a year ago, but I'm the worst golfer you've ever seen. Love seeing my excellent friends, Andy Jones, Amanda and Alex, Neil and Hil and Keith and the boys. Love chatting on-line to my great pal Kar.

Wake me up before you Go Go

Well, another day, another blog entry.

I'm covering the MCS duty this week, which for the uninitiated amongst you is the 'Mail Characteristics Survey.' There's a lot to do every other day, but this is one of the blank days and I am sooooo bored!

I've spent the morning doing some work, looking at my ebay. (Everything going ok... it's all being watched and I've had a few bids on things.) I've had a chat on the very handy msn Web messanger, with Kar. Seems like she and Ger had a great time in Sharm-el-Sheikh, and it's now on the list of possibilities for things to do next winter.

After I've done this entry, I'll be trawling around for some work, and then getting out my book. Currently reading John Peel's autobiography, 'Margrave of the Marshes.' A good read, even if most of it was written by his family after his sad and untimely death in 2004. Am listening to my mp3 player too... sundry singles and album tracks on random. Currently playing 'Senses Working Overtime' by XTC. (Showing my age, huh?)

It's the last day at work... I have Thursday and Friday off as it's time for the Lincoln trip. The plan is to leave at as close to 6 as possible, do Lincoln tomorrow and then Stamford on the way back on Friday. Should be fun, or if not, a nice break.

On Monday, I went to the movies with Sue and Andy to see Brokeback Mountain. Not a film to see if you want to chill and relax, but it was extremely good. Well directed by Ang Lee and a pair of very fine performances from Jake Gylanhall and Heath Ledger. There will be films I'll enjoy more this year, but if I see a better one, I'll be very surprised. Well done, Ang Lee. Make space for the Oscar, mate.
