I am married to Spiderbaby and live in Banbury, Oxfordshire after eight years living in the USA and Sweden. I am working and training as a clinical scientist for the NHS in Oxford.
There are now over ten years of photographs on my blog! It all started with a photograph I took on the 1st of May 2004... It's been a wonderful journey, thank you all who have shared it with me, and made this blogging community one I keep coming back to!
Interesting things I read recently:
"Only one in five people born [in the UK] since 1975 believes in God".

"For every dollar invested in the Human Genome project, $141 was returned to the US economy". Francis Collins, NIH

I am Pavlovs_dog on PSN and would be happy to link up with Playstation-owning mobloggers : )
Too Much Information: The first album I ever bought was the Fraggle Rock soundtrack. Pretty cool, eh? I was only 16 : )

What are you making or breaking?
Liking the bendy effect in the top shot!
crickson says:
We were - still are actually, making more shelves for Ann's stuff now she's properly moved in. We now have more Terry Pratchett books than are strictly healthy.
WalkleyTalkley says:
Ann's moved in properly now, as in got rid of her place? How did that one pass me by?
crickson says:
That's why we're having the party in may on the 19th to 21st. I'm sure I told people. Ah well, for the record all are welcome. We'll head out to Mojo's again since that was so popular last time!
WalkleyTalkley says:
Count me in for the party and MoJo's cocktail goodness. Although I may just have a guiness if they have one!
Poppet says:
I still have the shelves i offered you ages ago - ex ikea in beech and silver? But dusty but that comes off
Easter holidays and a party getting a bit exited now!
ann says:
Sorry Poppet, had completely forgotten about your shelves :( Still I had fun hammering things. ANd have lots of cake tins and ingredients to play with now so party will no doubt have a strong cake element.
crickson says:
My lovely kitchen used to contain one pan, one bowl, one plate, one knife, one fork, one spoon - and an old Nutella jar I used as a drinking vessel. Now it's full of bloody stuff. Still, the chip tray is useful.
ann says:
We still only have one pan, one knife, one fork and one spoon... What can all the other stuff be???
ann says:
No, I think we have enough - there'd be no room for it if you did ;)

*steps slowly away from Ann*
Now if the hammer was for repeatedly hitting the pan pipes...
I thought I was bad with just 4 sets of cutlery. You're a student no more Crickson; least you could do is get a drinking vessel. Or at least steal a decent pint glass from a local pub.
ann says:
I did bring a pint glass. I guess that's one useful thing at least!
crickson says:
Ha! I said this to Ann in the pub on sunday: any decent girlfriend would have a handbag I can steal a nice pint glass in.
ann says:
OK, we'll go hand bag shopping at the weekend!
FilbertFox says:
you now have an extra glass from todays scrounging mission. A rather disappointing swag bag today, but at least my missives are now typed on a clean keyboard.
Cake you say?
ann says:
Oh yes. I think it'll take more than an antiseptic wipe to clean up my missives though. This keyboard is really very dirty indeed...
crickson says:
FFox - I didn't see you at the show today - did you get a free keyboard?
Dhamaka/Daz's Rent-a-Mum says:
*waves*
Yay for Pratchett - there's no such thing as too much
and as for hammers....
FilbertFox says:
free keyboard? i didn't see those! I did get babywipes for keyboards and balls, and cell scrapers/ What did you get?
RareAquaticBadger says:
pfftt... You got babywipes to clean balls?
*wonders if he's stooping too much to FF's level*
Oooooh... freebies at product shows are great! I think I may start collecting floaties...
FilbertFox says:
RAB - I take offence at that! I have to be at a low level I am not as tall as you (or most people come to that) i can't help it.
Cricks- - you were brave, i smelt the free food and ran for the hills!
