A busy weekend

On Saturday I delivered John and Amanda’s wedding album to them, they’re delighted with it and love the contemporary style of the album.

Saturday evening I went to a TSB reunion at Tiger Tiger in Cardiff, it was really great to see so many former colleagues that I haven’t seen for a number of years. It was twenty years ago that what was then TSB General Insurance relocated from Andover to Newport. Quite a number of us worked in Andover prior to the move to Newport although very few from that time are still working at what is now Lloyds TSB. It was a very enjoyable evening.

Third day of my blog!

Decided to change hosts for my web site, waited in the phone queue for ages to get through to customer services at my current hosting company. At last a person in place of the music! All my queries answered within a couple of minutes. Now to sign up with a new hosting company and start the tedious process of uploading all my files and configuring the new site.

Drove to Newport to the BMW dealer to collect some parts I’d ordered last week, a much more pleasant experience than the previous week when there had been a nasty accident just past junction 28 on the M4 and it took over an hour to get from junction 32 at Cardiff to junction 28 at Tredegar Park.

Had a telephone call to say that the bride who was coming to see me this evening would have to rearrange as her car was in the garage.

I’ve now managed to copy all my files to the new web host, we just need to amend the name server entries and then we’ll be live on our new site – the web site should be continuously available while all this is going on as it will be a major inconvenience to me and my customers if it isn’t!

Had an email from Andrew and Elaine to confirm that they’re happy with their album design and I can go ahead and order the album.

Here’s a small overview of the album design
