So what is timesnewroman? It's not the font, rather my take on the age we live in. The USA is the new Rome and the times we live in are timesnewroman.

*Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors Been a bit remiss of recent. Mumsy's been in hospital for the past week, originally having suffered a mild stroke. She seems to have recovered from this quite quickly but whilst in hospital she decided to get up on her tod to go to the loo in the middle of the night and had a fall and broke her arm under her shoulder. Needless to say we got a call to notify us of this at 2:30 am which naturally freaked thewife. Of course this kind of break can't be put into a cast it has to heel in a sling, which for the first few days mumsy has managed to pull her arm out of. thewife has now put the fear of god into her that unless she keeps it in the sling, it will take longer to heel and longer for her to get home.Needless to say with visiting times etc we don't have a great deal of time to do things like blog for example. Today I have the relative luxury of a day's strike action to catch up with stuff, then a long weekend beckons at the end of which we shall be trotting along to see the doyen of Folk/Protest music Joan Baez, which we are immensely looking forward to.

It does Chips The very kind colleagues at work got me this groovy machine for my 50th. I'd seen one in Spain on holiday and was raving about it.It uses about a tablespoon of oil and these babies come out at the end of the cooking process.
Every bit as good as deep fried, but without the saturated fat, horrible lingering fat frier smell, hazar of fire etc etc. Far superior to your oven chips to boot. We love it.
On Wednesday we had the switch on of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The world didn't end, but if it had done, Killie would have been joint top of the SPL. Way to go. We had a meeting on Wednesday afternoon and we decided to have an LHC theme to relieve the boredom. I succesfully managed to incoroprate Large Hadron Collider into my feedback of a workshop session and was kindly presented with the following drawing as a token for my effort
