Roaring!

May's parents came over at the weekend. It was cold and because of this we made a dart over to B&Q to pick up some coal. Smokeless fuel I think they call it nowadays. Anyway, after a horrendously smokey false start, we opened the damper flap and we were in business. Even though it's a teeny little grate, it was enough to take the chill out of the air and bring our personalities back. Why didn't we do this sooner?

Vintage Tennis

Yesterday Shorrocks and myself were invited to Soho House to attend the press launch and screening of the Lacoste Vintage Tennis range. Amazing to see the campaign I worked on with Will over nine months ago is finally out in the public domain. It was great to see my film on the big cinema screen, especially as I'd only ever viewed it on a computer monitor before. I'm happy that I can now give you a link to my work as I'd been meaning to show everyone for ages.

The launch went well. There were quite a few people from various magazines and a load of PR types. I don't really like those sort of events as I find them arselicky and full of twats. However, last night I was one of those twats. There's no denying it!... Still, free champagne!

Here's a LINK to the Vintage Tennis film, designed and directed by my good self.

New toy

Christmas arrived late for both myself and May this afternoon with the signing for our new Canon G11!.. I'm looking forward to doing it some real justice and taking som pictures a pint of Guiness in a darkened pub... Let's just hope it doesn't end up in the same netherworld and May's iPod and her spectacles!!

So anyway, May and I decided to stay in this weekend. It was just too fucking cold to even consider going out. Plus it's January and conserving cash is a high priority, especially with the Indian extravaganza coming up.

Friday night we were out with her workmates, as I'd gone over to her office to install CS4.. It was actually refreshing to go out with a group of people who don't moan and groan about the company they work for!

Going back further in time. Thursday night our department said goodbye to Simon who goes to Hong Kong as an ambassador for Group Marketing for four months. He's uprooting and taking his girlfriend and little boy too. For the pleasure, he'll be a work bitch. Well, you'd have to wouldn't you. This is a short video I made for him to remember us by.

Happy New Year!

Back into blogging this year, I promise...

I had a right good Christmas break, but even though the (rather disappointing) work Christmas party feels like ages ago, the whole two weeks off went in the blink of a lazy eyelid.

Most Christmas holidays start before you actually break-up and there's those two first weeks in December where a lot of alcohol gets consumed. Unfortunately for my liver, the alcohol consumption continued until the 2nd of January, which isn't good. Although I've heard that the cells in the liver regenerate fully after a year and a half, so that means that if I'm abstinent until July 2011, everything's going to be just fine.

Fingers crossed.
