The Yellowstone National Park Caldera (super volcano) goes boom every 600,000 years or so…. and she’s a few thousand years over due… For your information, here is a link to the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory that has constant updates on activity in the area.
I’m not going to get technical – there is plenty of information available [...]

Not last Christmas, but the Christmas before….
I just can’t believe the changes that Alex has gone through in this time. He was a chubby little crawler back then, and now he is a hypersonic little lad who is into everything! I guess as an adult there aren’t many changes over 3 Christmases – but for [...]

Alex has figured out his Christmas work bench already. He’s a dab hand with the power screwdrivers, sockets and various screwdriver sets. He can strip and rebuild his race car in minutes – He’s quite amazing to watch!
He’s also really loving that drum kit… Yup – no sign of him even starting to get bored [...]

Saved by a little lads smiles!
Generally we leave Christmas shopping until November/December, but during our various shopping trips through the year we had spotted items in sales or discounted for whatever reasons that Alex would love (things weren’t bought just because they were discounted, they were bought because Alex would love them AND they were [...]

Well, considering what has happened, I am still looking forward to Christmas. We already had presents ready for Alex before the recent problems, so it will be a joy in itself to see him tear into his gifts and hear him laugh and squeak in delight!
As for you, be you a regular reader of my [...]

One tired lad after a day of playing with his beloved cars!!!! He just runs his batteries down and sleeps where he stops…

Cancelled is like saying “Failed” – and as many of the blog readers know, I’m not a fan of failure. Failure only happens when you stop trying to succeed. Sure you might be failing at something – but you only really fail when you give up.
As such I am retracting my “Christmas is Cancelled” statement, [...]

Sometimespace is now available via:
www.sometimespace.co.uk
and
www.sometimespace.com
For the tech people out there, “sometimespace.co.uk/.com” is a web domain forwarding address to this blog, whose actual address is http://moretimespace.wordpress.com – but for simplicity I kept my old blog name of sometimespace and made the domain (purchased from 1and1 Internet) name link to whichever blog site I happen to [...]

The late, great Jeff Buckley is a great hope for us all! He may well posthumously save us from another commercialised x-factor Christmas…
The Jeff Buckley version of “Hallelujah” is regarded as one of the greatest renditions of Leonard Cohens “Hallelujah”.
Now I like Leonard Cohen – He’s a great song writer, but vocally he but he [...]

In this day and age with some less than safe areas to deliver to, can you blame Saint Nick for swapping a reindeer powered sleigh for an SE5a armed with a .303 Lewis machine gun?
We took a walk today into Farnborough to post a letter. It’s a long trek, but the healthy option – and [...]
