Well, this week I've had a little celebration when I was FINALLY put on to the Amazon.co.uk Vine (i.e. I get to order free stuff from Amazon before it's released to write pre-release reviews on). That was cool. I've been waiting a while to get on there, but because my usual reviews are on out of print books etc, it's taken me a frigging age to build up the 'helpful' votes.
In other 'Dreadlocksmile' news...
We've got Jennifer's father and his partner coming down to stay with us for the weekend. I'm picking them up from the airport tonight. Need to switch myself to 'Best Behaviour Mode' for the weekend.
Finished reading Guy N Smith's 'Maneater' last night. Corking little read it was too. Good old Gordon Hall's back (Werewolf Trilogy) which was a bit of a treat. Knocked out a review afterwards and posted that bad boy up in the 'Book Reviews' section of the forum, amongst other sites.
Work's going alright at the moment (I work for the accountants/auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP). Busy, but that helps the day to go by.
I did warn you about this blog btw. Not exactly the most riverting of reads.
Be sure to tune in next time for the story of "How I Cut My Fingernails"...

For anyone who's actually reading this drivell, I actually have some big news in my life. Last night I got down on one knee in front of Jennifer and asked her to marry me. She said "yes". I'm pretty damn chuffed at the moment, as I'm sure you can imagine. We went out for a meal beforehand, then had a walk along Porthcawl beach. Then, with with the moon out and noone else around, I got down on one knee and asked her. She said yes. And then my beaming smile lit up the whole of the beach. Last weekend I had asked her father and her stepdad if it was ok to ask Jennifer. Both were really happy and gave me their blessing. Glad I asked them both. Gotta be traditional about these things. Anyway, for anyone who wants to see the ring I gave her, here's the little beauty: www.goldsmiths.co.uk/product.asp?cid=11&pid=5178So all is very cool in my life at the moment.

Congratulations. I hope you don't try to beat my record though as I've been engaged for about 16 years - just never taken it that one step further.

Sorry about my sudden absence on this site of late and my general lack of responding to messages over the last week. I have been somewhat occupied with other matters... And yes...there's two of them. Twins!
