In other news, Christmas came and went, and we had a very nice relaxing one, although it seems like ages ago now! Just before Christmas we completed Eloise's school application ( can't believe she starts this September) and we find out in April which school she has been allocated a place in (hopefully the first choice!) - Belated thanks to Mrs Fox for her professional opinion on said 1st Choice school's latest Ofsted report!
As most of my recent tv favourites all seemed to reach the end of current series just before Christmas (Spooks, Heroes and Dragons Den), there seems to have been a lack of decent programmes to watch in these long, dark, cold winter evenings (although I must admit a sneaking enjoyment of Relocation, Relocation on Channel 4 and re-runs of Never Mind the Buzzcocks on "Dave" - great name for a TV Channel!). However, it would appear things are beginning to pick up - I've caught the first couple of episodes of a new US Comedy/Drama on E4 called "Reaper" which, although it is quite a black comedy, looks like it will keep me entertained. However, I am very excited this week, as Thursday night sees the start of a new series on BBC1, "Ashes to Ashes", not a sequel to, but more a spin off from the wonderful, superb, fantastic, brilliant "Life on Mars" (Yes, I quite liked it!).
Now, I must admit, that when the idea of "Ashes to Ashes" first surfaced last year I was a bit dubious, particularly as "Life on Mars" had only just finished, but I'm looking forward to seeing what they've done with this so will be settling down in front of the tv on Thursday night to find out! Hoping DCI Gene Hunt is as full of great one liners in the 1980's as he was in 1973, and I'll leave you with one of my favourites - "She's more nervous than a very small nun at a penguin shoot"!

Well Done Graeme. It is a superb achievement. And you look really good.
Fella, I looked at that picture and thought to myself:
"He's only 73.5% of the man he used to be..."
Seriously though, you both look really great and both of you are to be congratulated.
Wow, that is impressive! Although I didn't know you before, so I would have liked a 'before' pic to compare it to! Or a weight watchers style one where you put on a pair of old trousers and show the difference. Just a thought :-P
And my dad LOVES Life on Mars. He keeps nagging me to watch it (we have both series on BT Vision box thing). I'll have to give it a go.
Well done Graeme!
And nice to see you blog again :)
Where's the big cardboard cut-out of how you used to look? Hmm?
Congratulations on losing the equivilent of a small child from your overall Graeme-ness.

Loads of time before September...enjoy it!
Hey Graeme!
I wanted to email you about something but I don't have your email address... might you be able to leave it as a comment on my blog, and then I just won't publish it? Cheers!
P.S. Yes, I have just left a practically identical message on Andy's blog...
I have lost a stone in 7 weeks -hurrah
