Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The Wii and Wii Fit arrived...
I can do over 300m on the ski jump. However my wife's got the quickest time on the slalom skiing. Which is quite ironic I suppose given that she's never skiied in her life whilst I once did 15 black runs in a day in Breckenridge...
Ok, admittedly, I probably couldn't do that again... ever...

For-Ethiopia

Celebrated the first Christmas of 2009 (Ethiopian Christmas is on the 7th January) as For-Ethiopia held a Christmas Party for al its supporters to update them on what the charity had done this year.

Didn't get home until 12:30am, since we had to clear up to leave the church hall fit for use the next day! But a lot of people came and were interested in what the charity had done, a lot of money was raised and the effort was well worth it.

The world's best dessert ever

It's made by my wife. It involves marshmallows!

It also looks pretty disgusting when it's scooped into bowls and handed out to people. Need to develop the individual ramekin option...

This one was made in Malaysia. We found marshmallows but they were pretty expensive!

Renamed and rebooted

Part of the reason I failed with keeping up with at least one blog a month was that it was increasingly difficult to find the time to think of 3 things to say in an vaguely intelligible form.

So, now that I'm 30, I guess I'll try a more mature, sensible, less sensationalist approach to blogging.

Without the pressure of having to split my thoughts into 3 discrete chunks, I might actually feel like blogging more.

So, here's to the blogs of 2009!

My lovely wife organised a cracking surprise birthday party for me this saturday just gone and it was great to see lots of people. A number of top comedy presents were given, but the Extreme Ironing calendar for 2009 was one of the standout presents!
