We've had our name on a list for a black labrador bitch since November last year. Today we took the kids to go and see her (and her 4 brothers and 3 sisters). There are a few pictures up our Flickr account (see the bar in the right hand side of this site) but unfortunately the 2 we took of the kids holding black labradors didn't come out well.

Last time we went the kids were very suspicious/wary of the puppies (we visited to see the mother of our puppy in December and her mother had had puppies 6 weeks before that). This time was a completely different story! The kids loved it! At one point Tom was sitting on the floor with 3 puppies all around him and crawling over him and he was just throwing affection in all directions.

So, it's 3 weeks till she comes home and although it will be hard work and a major adjustment we're sure it's the right thing to do now.

Resume/CV aboutandy

I am a web developer creating sites for a number of clients through my company NextGen Development Ltd using PHP5 and MySQL. Recently I've been using/recommending the Symfony framework as it's an excellent solution for building websites that are robust and have a high level of functionality in a short timeframe.

I've been developing web applications since about 1996 (initially in Perl, then using PHP since 1999) for clients such as OXO, Fortnum & Mason and IPC Media Ltd. I've worked on over 400 sites over this period and am currently focusing most of my energy on a few important clients: IPC Media Ltd, Mansized and Pocket-Lint.

In my spare time I am a Kukki-Taekwondo 3rd Dan black belt, father to two young children and a husband to my darling wife. Then again, what is this spare time thing...?
