Welcome to 2008

Happy New Year everybody! I hope 2008 is a ton of fun for you and yours. This year’s Christmas and New Year celebrations were, actually, really good fun. Christmas at my Sister’s house – watching the kids rip the wrapping paper off presents like there’s no tomorrow has to be one of the best things […]

My birthday weekend

Well, it’s nearly Christmas and that means one thing – I’ve just had yet another birthday. Since when did I have the right to now be 34??? What the…? It’s not fair! I’ve enjoyed my life so far, but there is the odd occasion when I look back and think “if only I had…” Still, […]

Whatever happened to…?

We’ve all done it, we’ve all been there. Wondered whatever happened to people that were friends a long number of years ago but that, for one reason or another, you’ve lost contact with. And the annoying thing is that there’s no real reason for you losing contact, it’s just one of those things that… happens. […]

A new way to find me – www.thecardman.co.uk

Hi folks For ages, I’ve wanted to have a domain name with The Cardman in it. The perfect one for me would always be thecardman.co.uk but that was being held by someone else. Until recently. Last week, I discovered that thecardman.co.uk was available and now it is mine and is the new address where you […]

A Day At The Edinburgh Fringe

Dad – A year already!

They say (whoever “they” are) that time goes quicker when you’re having fun. Well, it’s not exactly been a great year, not always fun, but it has been amazingly quick. Where the last 12 months have gone is a bit of a mystery to me. It’s a year to the day since my Dad died. […]

Catch up – Germany (Long post!)

Well, the trip to Germany is now but a memory. But what a series of memories they are! It was almost like being part of a rock tour – a different day, a different city – so this is going to be a fairly lengthy post as we managed to cram a ton of stuff […]

Dad

Just before midnight arrives and we move out of 16th February and into 17th February, I just wanted to say Happy Birthday, Dad! He would have been 66 today. We miss you every day. Speak soon. The Cardman 🙂

Welcome to 2007
