It’s the only way to do it when you’ve not bothered for ages. A selection of pics at the end 
- I had a tooth out! A very odd experience and probably the least I deserve after skiving off from the dentist for nearly 20 years. Did it hurt? Not really, the local anaesthetic was very effective and my dentist skilled and considerate. Wouldn’t want to do it again though
- Charlie’s been in the wars a bit recently. Bumped his head jumping up to welcome me from work which was horrid and post MMR a nasty combination of upper chest infection, ear infection and a raging temperature. We’re just seeing the end of that right now. Phew!
- We had a great company BBQ at Camperdown park. Nothing complex, people turned up, ate some food and drunk some beer. It was great though
- Had some visitors which is great. Nice times with Jon visiting last month and Bernie / Jim / Lucie early in August. Got Rik / Kel / Callum up this weekend and Peter over as well
- Just back from a trip to Gamecon in Cologne. GDCE and Gamecon didn’t really float my boat to be honest but met some old friends and new contacts which was great. Cologne looked pretty and the cathedral particularly impressive. On the return trip the cabbie asked if I’d just returned from working on the rigs. Must have looked as ruff as I felt
- Work goes very well, we’ve had some pretty important milestones that’s given a lot of shape to the game. Obviously I’m biased but it’s looking really good. We had some peeps from the press in just recently and they seem to agree. A fair way to go yet but right now indications are good. And that always worries me
- And had a nice time at Lunan bay last weekend, just me, Suzey and Charlie pottering about on the beach
