January sails away

Half the month has just slipped away and I think most of it is deciding which HD television to buy! And here it is, the Sony Bravia 40" LCD KDL-40Z4500 which has a 200hz refresh, the first of its kind. I'm using Delicious to tag all the shopping websites and monitoring their downward price - have a look at my Delicious feed on the right. Since I started looking, some retailers have reduced the prices from an average of £1500 to £1300 in the space on a 3 weeks.

January is supposed to be a quiet month to conserve the cash but we've braved the big freeze for a few treats along the way. To celebrate Sarah's last day of her old feet (before her feet operation that is) we went treated ourselves to the best tapas in Hove at Latino. It was an opposite experience the evening after trudging round Ikea with only meatballs and their chocolate biscuits a result.

Downloaded the highly addictive GTi Club+ on the PS3. This was a favourite of mine in the arcades where you race a hatchback classic around what looks like Monte Carlo. Such a shame they couldn't include a split-screen two player but there is the online function and you can customise the cars. I can see many wasted hours on that.

The highlight of the weekend just gone was Pom's leaving party. Most of the usual suspects were there and I was the official photographer by request. Didn't get a chance to dj but wasn't too bothered. It was alot more 'garage-y', thankfully the old classic stuff before it turned to trip. Flickr is your place to visit to see it colour.

Otherwise, there's the looming thought of having to train for the Peru trip with a 4 day hike to Machu Picchu and finding a cat sitter. Sasha's an old man and doesn't like traveling anywhere so we need volunteers to visit or stay at our house.

Yesterday was to remember the anniversary of someone special - to Mum.
