We are welcoming ‘Cookie’ to our little family. She is a rescue kitten (one of about 40 that were saved from being put down in Spain).
At 6 weeks old she is tiny and cute. Custard does not share that view however. He has given her several slaps already and as the week goes on I am sure she will get thumped a few more times before he accepts her.
Here is a piccy;

WOW is all I have to say!
Last night a few friends and I drove to Granada and saw Roger Waters live with Brain Damage. It was without a doubt the greatest live performance I have ever witnessed. It was awesome. Roger is a crowd pleaser in every sense and the support of his group was astounding.
The live performance of all the tracks (varied and most of the Dark Side of the Moon), was purely brilliant - they didn’t miss a beat. Having not been old enough to experience the whole trippiness of their music in the 70’s, I found myself mesmerized to such an extent that I can almost imaging what the chemical induced trips must have started out like.
It was a 3hr drive each way (although I did it in less time
) , and well worth the evil headache I have this morning.
This was the Granada leg of his Dark Side of the Moon tour and is the final tour where this will be played.

After many years of being a PC fan, I have finally returned to an opperating system that sits in harmony with the computer : MAC OS X; Mostly due to my friend and colleague PETER (who is a mac-fan-boy-extraordinaire)
I have installed it on my PC and it has been such a pleasurable experience I am seriously considering getting a MAC Pro as soon as finances permit. I am only keeping my Vista hard disk around until the MAC version of Call of Duty 4 is released in May.
The MAC OS X is so easy to get to grips with and my PC boots up faster than I have ever witnessed with any Micro$oft OS.
Definitely worth a look for the curious. Have a look at www.insanelymac.com for the various ways to get MAC OS X on your PC to try it out, before spending the deserved cash on a real MAC.

Last weekend (18th April) I went to the beautiful city of amsterdam. I stayed on a lovely camping site) Amsterdamse Bos), along with about 20 of my clan acquaintances. I play Call of Duty 4 online with the OMG clan OMG Clan Forum
It was a wonderful weekend with paint-balling, Amsterdam’s night life (that raised my eyebrows a bit!) and a tour on the canals.
I found the dutch to be a lovely people - friendly, polite and helpful.
For the photos have a look at my gallery
