little bits of everything

Kite and clouds Originally uploaded by paulmorriss . I've uploaded some black and white photos that I took years ago, but scanned yesterday. Here's my favourite.

Police searching the woods in High Wycombe Originally uploaded by paulmorriss . I told the BBC about this, and they asked to use it on their website. My 15 minutes of fame has come.

I'm looking forward to the BBC's new series Robin Hood . I loved the old ITV series Robin of Sherwood . I haven't seen that one for many years, so I don't know if it would be worth watching again. I watched Blakes 7 as an adult and it really wasn't very good, so spoilt my childhood memories. When I saw the BBC's page on its new series I thought that it sounded like they were trying to repeat the success of Doctor Who in putting a lot of budget and creativity into an old story to get a new audience. The Stage had the same idea too. Tags: Robin Hood BBC TV

40 today One thing I found boring when I was younger was old people talking about what it was like to be old. So if you're young, don't read this. So what's it like to be forty? Some people say they don't feel any different to when they were 20. That's not true of me, hopefully I've learned something in the past 20 years. I don't feel much different to yesterday. On the other hand though, people who are old enough to retire don't look that old.

Our home PC is in a seriously bad way. I used to email myself little reminders from home to work and vice versa. Now I have to write things on a bit of paper which travels to and from work along with my lunch in my rucksack. Any little online jobs, such as renewing my vehicle tax, have to be done at work. As the saying goes, you don't know what you've got until its gone. I just hope I can recover the photos that I meant to back up to CD but never quite got around too. And the emails.... You'd think that being an IT person I'd have sorted a good backup routine. As they say, the cobblers children have no shoes.
