A blog mostly about my family. Though I also rant about other things, work, music, films etc.

Having watched the new John Lewis Christmas advert. Makes me think the Americans may have left Buzz Aldrin behind.

First things first, I am laughing over the defeat of Chelski today at Stoke. It makes up for the defeat of Arsenal earlier this week. And when I say defeat, it does not really do justice to the pitiful display shown in a game that most expected to lose. And of course, I am nervous about the game tomorrow. The kids were annoyed that I went out to watch the defeat, it looks like my daughter will watch Arsenal on television and while my son is interested in what happens with Arsenal, he has yet to show an interest in watching a match.
Needless to say, at this time, both are in bed. Yesterday they had sleepovers, my daughter here for a party for her birthday, my son being allowed to stay at a friends house.
And last of all, an update on chess. We had a little in house tournament last weekend. My son gave up after losing two games which allowed my daughter to win, along with my wife and I. However, with on-line chess, I have not been so fortunate and the updated list of tournaments I have not won now includes
