Strangers

Mike — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 09:27:26 +0000

I know its only been two weeks but its seems like a lifetime. Since my last post about my little girlie I have been away to LA and Cuba. I’ll start with the first as it chronologically makes sense. I took my mum with me to Hollywood, we had a fantastic time. Saw a few celebrity homes and the Hollywood sign. We walked along Hollywood Blvd, went shopping down Rodeo Drive and in Pasadena, we also rocked our socks off in Universal Studios. Oh yeah, how could I forget Johnny Rockets and ice cream at the Disney Store. Yum Yum!

More recently, so much so it was only yesterday. I got back from Havana with my brother, we spent three nights there, the weather wasn’t great but it was warm, much nicer than your bog standard british December day. We drank Mojitos by day and ate pizza by night (the latter being not so traditional of the region – well, what can you do?) We had a little trip to the beach on one of the days (photos coming soon – as with the ones from LA.) I love all the old cars, it is very in-keeping with the buildings.

I am off to Miami on Sunday and I have Alice’s fashion show on Tuesday when I return so I will be back to write about those, however I will try to be back in the meantime.

Today I lost a best friend

Star back in November 2007

Earlier today while I was away in Nairobi with work my mum told me that one of my pet rabbits died. Star had just turned eight and was doing very well for a bunny of her age. She was the sweetest little ball of fur in the world and I will miss her very very much.

I will love her always. x

Hungry like the wolf

Mike — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 19:16:40 +0000

I am here in Nairobi, Kenya. I am three hours ahead of all you guys there in the UK. I have worked my way through every item on the room service menu and yet I am still hungry, all I want is some chocolate – Galaxy would be preferable.

Most hotels we stay in have a shop within the confines of the hotel, this one doesn’t. What it does have is a curfew by which I mean crew are not allowed out after dark due to safety and security reasons which means the supermarket nearby is inaccessible.

To add insult to injury I know I have a huge bar of Galaxy at home on my side which I though I could bring with me but I though ‘nah, I’ll get it when I get there’. I won’t be making that mistake again any time soon!

Anyway, enough with the chocolate-related rant.

I’ll write again soon if I make it through the night.

Mike.

Google Ads – Added

Mike — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:28:50 +0000

Just a quickie to let you all know I have added Google Ads to my blog and they will soon follow on my webpage. This shouldn’t affect the usability and appearance of the site but it will allow me to gain revenue which I hope will go towards the hosting and upkeep of my sites.

My site will hopefully be up and running very shortly. Check back soon for new upadates.

Peeps

Peeps is a new project I am working on, its a fully featured address book which will be web based so you can access all your loved ones from anywhere in the world. It will be compatible with most desktop apps like Mac Address Book, Microsoft Outlook. You will be able to import data from Facebook, Hotmail, Myspace and other social networking sites.

If anyone out there wished to lend a helping hand and become part of this new and exciting project. Then feel free to email me at addressbookproject@michaelnorris.co.uk.

Laters Peeps,

Mike

Post to Blog from email

Mike — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:51:43 +0000

Hey, I guess you will be reading this if it works, and well, if you
never see this then I am just writing it for the fun of it.

I am doing this to test whether or not I have configured the post to
blog via email setting correctly.

Fingers crossed…

Home Sweet Home

Mike — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:06:59 +0000

Hi guys, I am home now. Got back from LA yesterday, was a very long and tiring flight, and the drive home was a bitch to say the least. I’m off now til Friday when I am jetting off to Barbados and Antigua, I haven’t been to Antigua before so I am looking forward to it. Hopefully the flight isn’t too busy.

As for the next few days, I am off out tonight with a friend, it will be nice to catch up with them as I haven’t seen them in ages. I can’t wait until tomorrow though, it feels like ages since I’ve seen my girlfriend. I look forward to the day that I get to spend every day and night together. Not the odd day here and there.

See ya later folks
