Well it’s been a month and I’ve finally decided to come around and make a long awaited entry. It’s just been really really busy the past month, and I’ve learned so many new things in the span of just a … Continue reading →

Woohoo! My wife has passed her PLAB 2 examinations! She got the results yesterday, and I (and so many other people) are immensely proud of her. She was terrified of getting the results, not knowing what to expect. But she … Continue reading →

Weather is a bit sucky today, it’s raining all over the place. Well, at least it’s a Friday and we’re all looking forward to the weekend, not that we’ll be doing much. My wife has her PLAB 2 exams on … Continue reading →

So I’ve finally found some time to update the weblog after so many days. We’ve been really busy in the office and I’ve been working late some days of the week. We finally got the ADSL line working, but haven’t … Continue reading →
