Say Hello To My Li’le Frien’
All together now: - AwwwwwwwwwwMeet Jonathan William McFall, my now nine-week-old nephew, born on the 27th July.
Not much I can say about the wee man that you can’t see in the picture but as far as I can tell he’ll be a stand up guy and break a lot of hearts :)
Anna will be 4 on Saturday so I'm sure I might get a pic or two then. In the mean time you can follow the link and look at lots of her baby photos.

Chatsworth
I was going to write about my new nephew just now but I found out that I accidentally deleted the pictures I intended posting. I’m waiting for Lorraine (my sister) to forward them to me again so in the mean time I’ll talk about something else girly: clothes.Hat you see to you left is the idea of suit that I’m going to wear to my wedding. Not the waistcoat and tie just the suit.
I always knew I wanted a long coat in this style because it suits me so well but I was never sure if they existed. I’m thinking along the lines of those displayed below for the cravat (in the syle seen on the right) and waistcoat.
So what do you think? (click images to enlanrge)
Return of the Native
Ever since I decided to make this great return to the world Blogging I’ve wondered if I should keep both my Blogs going and if so how I would distinguish between them.
It took the best part of a few seconds to think of, so it might not stick, but I believe I have a solution.
AMBLOG – my original and vast posting page will focus, as it always has, squarely on the wonder to modern science that is me. Chronicling my life like a sort of online diary (without my innermost thoughts of course).
COMFORTADOR – the Blog I created to give my interest in the practice new lease of life will now become where I tell it my way. I’m thinking film, book and other media reviews and recommendations, Links to interesting sites and the occasion commentary on the world at large.
As I said it might not stick but we’ll see how I do.
My return to AMBLOG was last night, follow this link (or scroll down) to view it.
And I’ll try to think of something to review or something for COMFORTADOR by some time tonight.

"I come back to you now at the turn of the tide."
Welcome back folks. You all still with me? Thought not.
Ah, but still the tide it is turning in this ongoing novel I call my life. Interest’s been waning the last few years so my publishers Fate & Destiny decided the franchise needed a long overdue revamp.
First off the protagonist got fired from the job that the readers felt he whined too much about and caused the lagging pace of the prose in the last few volumes. Next the author sent him back to collage to do a degree in Business Studies with a possible lead in to a career in teaching.
The hope is that this bold new direction and some new supporting players give the character a new lease of life and give the reader a renewed appreciation of the series.
Of course thing can’t go that easyfor our hero. As long time followers of the books will be aware there’s a marriage to long time love interest Michelle not too far away. Add to this the change in career from reasonably paid office worker to student and it should help generate a little tension when it comes to financial and social aspects to story not mention the romance element.
All in all I think it’s a good plan. Over the last few editions the lead had become a little reparative. Some might say stale. These changes in story elements might be just what are needed to make things interesting again.
The pages are being written as we speak and personally I can’t wait to see what twists and turns are in store this time around.
