Kathryn and her mum completely redecorated the living room but alongside that I have removed my fishtank.  The fish were all succesfully rehomed - albeit following a stressful weekend of fish capture, tank draining and heavy lifting.  The tank itself and everything ... http://davidandkathryn.com/blog/2008/12/05/a-life-less-interesting/ APPARENTLY TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY.  SO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO INSIST ON WRITING EMAILS AND FORUMS POSTS IN CAPS LOCK CAN FINALLY BE ACCEPTED. PERSONALLY I THINK IT'S A STUPID IDEA AS READING A MESSAGE IN ALL CAPITALS IS INCREDIBLY IRRITATING - EVEN AS I'M WRITING THIS I'M FINDING ... http://davidandkathryn.com/blog/2008/10/22/international-caps-lock-day/ We've just arrived back at our beach villa having been caught on a pedalo half a kilometre from shore by a monsoon.  It was quite fun actually as we tried to outrun it but it caught up with us with 100 yards or so left.  Seemed like an opportune moment ... http://davidandkathryn.com/blog/2008/10/01/rain-stopped-play/ I am currently writing from the sunlounger next to our personal plunge pool/jacuzzi.  Kathryn is currently at the Spa enjoying a deep cleansing facial treatment and should be there for the next hour or so.

I didn't ... http://davidandkathryn.com/blog/2008/09/27/maldives/ The first bit of our honeymoon is 4 days in Dubai staying at the 5-star Jumeirah Beach.  It has to be said that as hotels go it is a class above anything we've ever stayed in. Closest we could get would be the Royal Caribbean ship we cruised on but this ... http://davidandkathryn.com/blog/2008/09/25/were-in-dubai/ Taking over from Palace's play off final victory in 2004 as my best ever day, yesterday I married Kathryn Louise Hopkins.   It truly was the most fantastic day in so many ways. Eighteen months of planning and preparation came down to one single day and almost everything went according to ... http://davidandkathryn.com/blog/2008/09/21/happiest-day-of-my-life/ Just a quick entry to follow up on the Nike organised Human Race we entered.  Although it wasn't announced when we entered Nike contacted everyone doing it's Human Race 10K just before the event to say there was a free tshirt in it for all participants. Kathryn is particularly keen on ... http://davidandkathryn.com/blog/2008/09/18/nike-human-race-update/ I guess it's because the death toll hasn't been that high and the press reckon we've got enough news of our own but I never realised how big an impact Hurricane Ike had had.
