So, it's half past midnight here and I wanted to go to bed. I thought I'd better play the global challenge set at about five minutes to midnight and then decided to play Team Heroes, then Fill Me In and so it goes on. But now I've played the Hourly mixed game and I'm top, so now I have to wait until 12.45 to see if I hang on to it. That's why I'm here!

Well it's a little while since I droned on about my existence anyway. I went to Newcastle on Wednesday, finished work early at 2 so that I could get a jump on the traffic so I could be there plenty of time before the kick off time for the League Cup encounter between Newcastle United and my adored Huddersfield Town. Huddersfield lost 4-3 after leading 3-1, but it was an incredible game. Glad I went. Stayed in a Premier Travel Inn, which I was very impressed with, and then headed onto my friend that lives near Middlesbrough. Being a teacher, he was free to indulge in some pitch n putt and also some pool.

When I returned yesterday, my wife had bought a games console, the Wii! So we've been playing it relentlessly ever since. It is great fun, very addictive, so I doubt you will see much of me here for the next few weeks.

It is my first wedding anniversary next weekend, I've booked a hotel in the lake district so fingers crossed for some nice weather for walks and such. Hard to believe it's been a year, nearly seven years together in total. Racking my brains for lots of joke 'paper' presents to buy. :)

I've nearly wasted enough time to get to 12.45 now, so I'll say night night funtrivia-ers!
