My First Birdie

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

About two months ago, we decided to take some golf lessons. I had not had lessons before, but had hacked around the nine hole municipal course near Caerleon in South Wales more than ten years ago.

So after taking a few lessons at the Bellevue municipal course and a few rounds at the Crossroads par 3 course, I got my first Birdie! (OK, it was the ninth at the Crossroads course and I had shot 6 on the fourth. But it came off the back of 3 pars in the round.)

It was a great feeling and hopefully the first of many.

It’s been how long?

My wife made a comment this morning that I should update my website as it had been a while since anything changed. I couldn’t remember when I last posted, so I had a look… 18th February! I can’t believe it, six months has past and I haven’t written one post. I will offer no excuses, as there are none that can justify such a long period of inactivity.

However, so much has happened in that six months. The biggest event is that Susanna and I have moved to Seattle in Washington State, USA. (For those of you that don’t know us, we used to live in London, UK.) The reason: I’ve moved over with my company. I’m still doing the same job as a Consultant to the mobile content world, but now I’m doing it in America.

We are both so excited to be here. It’s been a beautiful summer (which isn’t over yet) and we have found a lovely place to live with a fantastic lake view. We are really happy to be here and would like to thank everyone who have helped us in our first couple of months.
