The Fireplace

Sudo wanted to play with these flowers so very much.

This is My Bed

I’m not even going to look at you whilst I disrespect your possessions.

Everyone knows cats are dicks.

We’re Calling it; Finished.

One of Charlotte’s colleagues is refitting his kitchen alone. I have decided that he is a madman. The last few weeks have seriously pissed me off; between eating takeaway every day, having to walk to the shops every meal and generally having three rooms that are unusable, I can safely say that a kitchen refit is not something I would ever attempt myself.

Still, it’s all done now and we’re both super pleased with it. Our fitter did an amazing job and his bill was incredibly reasonable given all the work he did. If you’re looking for a kitchen fitter in Southampton/Hampshire, grab me on a social network and I’ll give you his number. If, for whatever reason, you’re interested in any of the manufacturers/models/shops we got things from; again, social networks.

First Proper Meal

We’ve been having our kitchen re-fitted for the last two weeks, which has meant takeaway pretty much every night. It has lead me to the conclusion that takeaway should only be an occasional thing. It is not nice food to eat regularly, let me tell you.

Hey, Hot Shot

Jasper — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 11:44:36 +0000

Remember that scene in Hot Shots! Part Deux at the start where Charlie Sheen is going to bare-knuckle fight that guy in some warehouse or wherever? And before they start fighting they dip their hands in sweets? That’s what my lunch today reminded me of.

It’s important to bear in mind that sometimes I just like wandering round taking photos of whatever. With the 50mm 1.8 on the D700 is a lovely, light (it is, shut up) camera. These hopefully won’t be the best photos I take all week, but they’ll be amongst the most fun I had holding a camera, for sure.

Also, fuck you I know my lawn is a mess. I hate gardening.

Dog Lamp

It’s been quite a presenty month for me. Charlotte never talks about cool things she wants to buy, so whenever she does, I get them if I can.

Must admit, I didn’t like this lamp, but it’s much better in person.

We’ve Moved.

By “we”, I mean the Southampton Buffalo office. It’s too hot in the east wing of Tandy Towers, so we’ve relocated to the west for some shade. French windows open, dog asleep somewhere, birds chirping. How’s your office?

The Correct Antidote

Jasper — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 08:28:25 +0000

The correct antidote to walking around in the sun all morning is, of course, an afternoon watching (surprisingly) crappy movies and eating delicious, home-popped popcorn. Apparently popcorn is healthy. Healthier than Toblerone, I suppose.

Some White

Jasper — Wed, 18 May 2011 15:28:32 +0000

Just one of those days where work is totally uninspiring. I’ve been on a bug-fixing spree for the last three weeks, and it’s finally beginning to crush my spirit. That being said, it’s nearly over and fun new projects are just round the corner. I suppose if I was a little better, I wouldn’t have to spend so long fixing bugs. And if I wasn’t so rushed to finish everything, I would be a little better. The magical circle (triangle?) of code.

Thought I’d treat myself to an early finish, then I saw the time and realised I was actually treating myself to a normal-time finish. Wandered round the house and snapped a few of my favourite details. Catdog ended up getting in the way of the first one, but it turned out OK, I suppose.

Workshop

Jasper — Tue, 10 May 2011 12:42:12 +0000

My good friend, Perkins has made himself a lovely little workbench (patronisation unintended) which inspired me to tidy my workshop so it could be used for something other than furniture/coal storage. She scrubs up nicely, she does. Now I just need to have some hobbies that warrant a dusty workshop.
