The weather the last few days has turned decidedly colder with frost on the lawn in the mornings.
A fairly quiet day a trip to the bank to pay in cheques.
I’m currently working on a number of album designs for Jorgensen E series albums.

A bright Thursday
A very nice day, we went to Leekes (the out of town department store) in Pontyclun and the retail centre in Talbot Green.
A quiet day overall.
A mild Tuesday
Called over to see my mum this morning – no leaking taps!
Went with Paul to buy a new battery for his Toyota Surf and then fitted it in, he now has a truck that starts!
David has his car working again and called in this evening.
A bright Monday
Changed the washer in my mum’s bathroom tap.
Food shopping at Tesco in Talbot Green.
A new version of software for my on-line viewing gallery was released today and I’ve completed the integration and I’m on to the detailed testing. A few minor issues to resolve but it’s looking very good so far.
Another busy Sunday
Posted the parent album design to my web site for Stuart & Karen to approve. Karen replied very quickly that they were great so I just need to prepare the files for printing by the lab.
Lunch at John & Ida’s in Pontypridd, roast beef, apple pie and custard.
Had a telephone call from my mum this evening, she couldn’t turn off the cold water tap on the hand basin in the bathroom, I popped over there and turned off the valve on the supply to the tap, I’ll need to change the tap washer tomorrow.
A busy Saturday
I received Stuart & Karen’s album orders today, two parent albums and a Jorgensen E series album. I’ve completed the initial designs for the parent albums.
A dark Friday
BT’s broadband system failed this afternoon, apparently right across the UK, fortunately it was only out for an hour or so.
Very sad to hear the news that Patrick Lichield died today, he was a great ambassador for photography.
A mixed Thursday
My telephone line appears to be working again although BT’s fault tracking web page is still showing the fault as waiting to be allocated to an engineer.
Had a browse around Comet and bought a Linksys PAP2-UV to connect to Vonage for a subscription of £9.99 a month all local and national calls to the UK and Ireland are free, with mobile calls between 5p/min at weekends, 15p/min evenings and 20p/min daytime and very low rates on international calls. It has voicemail, conference calls, caller display, call waiting, call diversion and uses any standard touch tone phone(s). It connects to the broadband router and doesn’t require any installation – a piece of cake! It means we have a second telephone line at a fraction of the cost of an additional BT line. Call quality is excellent as well.
A dry Wednesday
A day spent entering up my accounts.
Our telephone line is out of service, a large BT fault affecting quite a large number of subscribers on our local telephone exchange, fortunately my broadband connection is still working. BT have also provide an automatic call diversion to my mobile as the telephone line has failed.
Welsh lesson this evening at the local rugby club, couldn’t use the lounge tonight as the heavy rain yesterday came through the roof and destroyed the carpets and caused a great deal of damage.
A wickedly wet Tuesday
Spent some more time working on the car, managed to get hot air out of the heater and then cold air 🙁 difficult to take it to the garage for them to look at in its current condition!
Received the e-commerce merchant agreement from Streamline another step closer to upgrading my on-line shopping cart.
