I never knew that the Amish were so deadly with dynamite!

But I digress, the hour is late and I'll be woken early by small happy people....

She managed 4 cakes in all over the weekend, several days of presents and ice cream, and lots of video calls from her friends so she's dead chuffed!

Excellent.....

I took Kayla out to see if we could catch some, which is much easier than you'd think. Chunk in a load of pink coloured hooks and they think...."hummmmm, pink and spikey" and all try to jump onto your hooks at the same time.

Kayla had a great day fishing and caught about 20 of the little blighters.....which she also helped clean and eat....that's my little girl!

Basically with it getting light pretty much the whole time over here, sleeping sort of becomes optional, so I threw on my rucksack and took a wander to the lake at the back of my house to see if I could catch any fish.

Fortunatly my rod still scares fish away as good as dynamite, so no fish were hurt, but I did see a very good crash landing by a swan.

It was coming in to land making a really good honking noise (I guess a little like an adult might yell "wwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" if you're going really fast and think nobody is looking). As it came round the bush I was sitting near, it did a double take at me, looked reeeeally embarassed (for a swan) and then crash landed as it wasn't looking where it was landing.

Just wish I had gotten the camera out sooner.

Managed to pick up a rather nifty little kayak at an outdoor fair recently and so decided one sunny day to take Kayla out in it.

She absolutly loved it, which means I should have even more time to get out fishing and kayaking......

Just need to attach some cannons to it now....

Must be!

There was no snow, except for a couple of stupid small days that don't count....so I must have spent all of winter complaining in a cave about how it isn't like it used to be....

However today the sun in shining and summer almost seems to be here!

So, better try to actually write on here once in a blue moon!

This year I'm going to have to be carefull what snowman I make.
Since University I have always loved making bigger and stranger snowmen, and last year was no different.
I made a snow darlek, complete with little grabby hands and a sucker thingy in the forehead....it was about 8 feet tall, and about 5 feet wide at the bottom......very cool eh?

Alas, swedes never quite saw doctor who, and so nobody actually knew what it was, and two of my neighbours asked me why I made a giant snow penis.....ho hum....

So here I am cycling in a gym....
See since Lara arrived time has been a little scarce and facebook seems to have taken over from blogging, but now she's sleeping more I've got more time again.

So I'm at the gym using my phone as a stereo when I got bored while cycling and thought I'd check for a wireless network.....and I found one!

Not that typing on this small keybored is easy though...

Right time to change machines again!]]> http://www.lonecoder.org/index.php?entry=entry070830-122127
Firstly! new baby....I mean come on, I've got to be able to get a few miles out of that right?
And tomorrow is my last day of employment, then I'm off into the big bad world of running my own IT company....
It probably sounds grander than it is, but the company that I've been running on the side is starting to take enough time where I think it's worth the jump. We'll see how it turns out soon and hopefully it'll be good!

So, erm, well that would be the fast update...I'm almost thinking about just removing this blog as the updates are as fast as I'd like....but then when I look back I get nostalgia and think I should keep it going.....

Might just stick up a message board instead....

Hummmmmmm, what to do.....

M]]> http://www.lonecoder.org/index.php?entry=entry070725-094650 We are still waiting to be released from hospital as we were only born a few hours ago, but she is healthy and charlotta is doing just fine too.

In a couple of hours she should meet her big sister!
