First Glimpse into The Tangerine

In the last few weeks I’ve sorely neglected the development of this site. Sorry site. In mitigation I should say I’ve moved house (on the hottest day of the year so far no less) and been laid low by a virus.

Today I’m juggling a few proposals and jumping a train to London for a late meeting around a new social media site we’re developing. To be followed by a little supper, time allowing. I’d tell you more about it but I want it to be a surprise. Suffice to say, we’re excited, British humour is coming to a domain near you.

My youngest son managed to front flip himself out of his cot last night like a scene from the imagined movie, “Escape from Cotatraz”. He achieved this feat of gymnastics even while encapsulated in a baby bag. Unfortunately, apart from a hug from his dad, a carpet burn on his forehead was his only reward. Cot adjustment was called for and completed with a 5mm allen key. “Man work” as my wife would say.

Today is shaping up as a good day. Perhaps I’ll feel differently when I get back home at midnight but in the meantime all is good with the world. May the same be said for yours!
