Project 365:2012 – 21st & 22nd.

21st – Started to get a sore throat and cold-symptoms over the past day or so which sucked (so typical since me & my girlfriend are off to NYC in just a couple days). Went to work but by midday I couldn’t cut it so went home & rested up. Sprits were lifted in the afternoon thanks to Sophie cooked us both Pancakes!

22nd – Seems both of us have now come down with colds Really crappy, but can’t do much about it apart from taking loads of med’s and resting. Spent most of the day inside getting things ready. Tomorrow we’re leaving at 3am and our flight is at 8.30am, so this is it till I’m in NYC! Hope to do an update whilst I’m out there.

Project 365:2012 – Feb 17th, 18th, 19th & 20th.

17th – Friday at last, but had a good day at work. Enjoyed the last day of my tripple monitor setup since I have been borrowing a screen from the computer on the desk next to mine for the past couple days. New guy starts soon so I guess he’ll need a monitor or two.

18th – Popped over Soph’s parents in the morning for a spot of breakfast and to get my hair cut. Later in the afternoon I cleaned up the garage and sorted out some bits with the s13 since I was starting to neglect it a little. In the evening me & Soph went to Cannon’s & Josh’s, got Nando takeaway and watched the incredibly scary Apollo 18.

19th – Woke up after a bit of a lay-in and went to my folks today. We were treated to a good ol’ roast, and in the afternoon I got playing with my old RC cars, charged up a couple of the batteries and had a laugh with them for a couple mins till the batteries died.

20th – Been getting quite into NASCAR over the past couple of weeks or so and so it happens its the Daytona 500 on Sunday which is when I’m in NYC. I wonder if I can catch a part of the race while I’m out there? Anyway, enjoyed lunch break watching some footage from last year.

Project 365:2012 – Feb 14th, 15th & 16th.

Feb 14th – Valentines Day then. Well I wanted to finish work at a reasonable hour but due to the promo’s still going out to our American audience (6+ hr behind us of course) work was still pretty busy. I did escape eventually and came home to this made by my lovely gf.

Feb 15th – Some bits arrived through the post which I ordered a while ago. A new steering wheel, the same as what I use in my s13, and a Ph1 Almera grille & badge. Was cheaper to buy the grille & badge than just the badge!

Feb 16th – Work eased up a bit today which was nice and gave me a chance to escape for an hour at lunch to hunt for tyres. Went down to my local tyre shop who have served me well in the past and sure enough they let me look through the part-worns and take whatever I wanted. Managed to squeeze in about 15 tyres in the Almera, collection of 16s & 17s.

Project 365:2012 – Feb 11th, 12th & 13th.

Feb 11th – Got up early and got some bits done that I needed to do ready for my NY trip next week (woooo!), then headed to Goodwood circuit with a few of my mates to watch a rally. Was a good fun chilled day, and the sound of the Mk1/2 Escorts was so nice.

Feb 12th – Thought my girlfriend was off work today so had everything done so we could spend a day together. Ends up I forgot that she was working! But, as it happens, got a text off Ryan to come help Craig with his s13. Poor guy’s had the car 2 weeks, but only drove it a day till he hit a curb and bent some bits.

Feb 13th – Back to work again, did a bit of a late one since its still pretty busy due to all the promotions we’re doing for Valentines Day. We’ve also got one of the American CEO’s of the company in our office this week so best impressions are a must! Had a nice dinner cooked for all of us in the evening though.

Project 365:2012 – Feb 8th, 9th & 10th.

Feb 8th – Went to TGI’s in the evening with work to celebrate the company birthday. I think the whole team were looking forward to it and everyone had a good laugh. Especially, by the looks of this photo, Billy & Dan, the romantic couple they are! Hah. Fab & me stumbled back toward the train station after eating a 14oz double burger each. Pffffh!

Feb 9th – Works starting to get pretty hectic again, we’re a man-down on development, and then we had server issues. I’m beginning to pick up on how to monitor & maintain them now which is good, so most of my day was spent looking at this weird message that one of our Static servers was chucking back.

Feb 10th – Everyone was talking of Snow! Was expecting to wake up to a white sheet, but there was nothing. I did, however, manage to find the only bit of snow in south Hampshire I think. And it happens to be the infamous train station car park again where I always seem to take photos of my Almera, lol.
