Oh, yeah, absolutely feather :D I'm the "go for every ball" player type and their slower drop speed means I have some precious extra time to get the ball.

Haha, I tend to go for a work out - so I like the speed. Although like you mentioned, you get much better rallys on feather.

Got up for work at 6am and back home for 7.30am in time for the missus to go to her placement for Uni, took daughter to school and then me and the little man chilled for a bit, we played with his train set and watched Finding Nemo, after lunch he had a nap, so I put Forza 4 on for a bit, woke him up as it was time to pick daughter up from school! Daughter is reading her schoolbooks, little man is watching Mickey Mouse on the telly and I'm just waiting for missus to get home and then I'll cook tea (not sure what we are having yet) later I'll take Max for a walk (he's my Border Collie and probably the dumbest dog I've ever had considering that his breed is supposed to be one of the smartest!) Then I'll bath the kids and get them in bed, do a bit of housework and probably get to chill out around 8pm!

Cracked the 100 mark for my PS2 game collection today. Without counting duplicates I own 101 PS2 games :)
Which is nice and all but now I'm starting to get trouble housing all those games. Need shelves.

went to college like any other day except today there was a fire which somehow started in the toilets? We got to leave early then a tree fell on the train tracks causing delays to the trains I needed to take so quite an eventful day! :lol:

I've been scanning some game covers for the Game Database.

The plan for the rest of the day is to do some more coding for the new look RadioSEGA site, possibly some rehearsal CD transcribing for regional handbell team, and then later, we're off bowling for my sister's birthday party.

Oh man, don't... It's terrible. I'm unlucky in the fact that it, along Fifa 10 and The Sims come bundled on the phone with no way to delete them (unless I root the phone). Waste of perfectly good space for emulators...

Went to work early as usual, home in time to take daughter to school, took dog for walk with the little man, put the lamb in the oven to slow roast, then played outside on scooter with little man. Tried to play football with him, but he cried because he said the ball was too big, so had to get a small ball, we used our recycling boxes to make some goals. Noticed he throws and kicks with his left hand/foot! Had lunch and now just chilling out watching Spongebob Squarepants for a bit until it's time to pick missy up from school! Then I'll get back from school, check the lamb and see what we have to go with it! Tidy up a bit and then once kids are in bed I will either watch a bit of TV or put the 360 on for a bit!

best to get chicken pox out of the way whilst they're young! My son has had it however my daughter seems to be immune to it!

I built a bench for me to sit on when in the garden having a ciggy as we don't smoke in the house. My first attempt at dry stone walling...

Image

Dry stone building is too much like hard work though so my next project which I started this evening is:-

Image

Building a miniature model house :D Lots still to do but it's one hell of a lot easier lifting these pebbles :lol: I'm hoping PolyFilla is non-flammable as I'm intending to put the mini-house in our front garden with some tea-lights inside. Should look nice all lit up on an evening, even more so if I can give the model a smoking chimney too.

Thank god the missus has more sense than I do as I was originally using super glue to glue the stones together and completely ignored the "Extremely Flammable" warning on the tube :mrgreen:
