Spring Forward, Leap Back

Up nice and early to get to work on time to meet the engineer I’m assisting on-site. Gotta love working on Saturdays.

It’s dull work, but it’s stuff that needs doing and it’s the kind of thing that can only really be done when you haven’t got 300 users sitting on the network you’re in the midst of tearing apart.

Get things done and dusted for about 1pm, and head back home. Catriona is visiting for the day and when I arrive back Aimee is entertaining her new visitor.

After Aimee’s bedtime we crack out the Xbox and Wii. Not played on the Wii for ages, really. We have a bash at the Mario and Sonic at the Olympics game, and it’s great fun with the three of us playing – exhausting too! The gameplay harks back to the days of joystick waggling on Daley Thompson’s Decathlon and Summer Games on the Commodore 64!

British Summer Time steals an hour of my sleep tonight, and I won’t get it back til October. Bah.
