Enjoying more puzzling. Another step on my quest at www.mikekerrigan.com
I can’t wait for what comes next!

Still not feeling the need to sleep all that much. It’s very strange, a new experience for me really. I read somewhere that as you get older you sleep less (or was that more) but It can’t happen all that quick can it?
It is however opening up possibilities such as more investigation on puzzle related websites, and the oppotunity to do some much needed reading for the MSc.
Euro 2004 starts tomorrow, I think that this time round I am much more excited. Come on england.
Also check out what should be the official england song here
That also reminds me that the “official” england song, altogether now is rubbish. Why did it have to be messed with. The ridiculas choir noises make me very cross.

Who needs sleep! to quote an excellent barenaked ladies song and also my own personal experience. I have been having trouble sleeping the last two nights and have done a 3:00am and a 3:15am which is not all that good.
I also notice that I hav’nt updated here for a while, so here we are.
The MSc stuff is a bit manic at the moment and is making me think a lot, which is always a problem. I tried some heartbeat couting, some sheep counting and some bible reading (which usually does it!, not that thats a good thing to confess as some bits are really exciting) I also feel that it has made me a bit ratty with some people which is also not good.
Some exciting things have been happening however, such as the puchase of a new video camera. You can see my first film here (if you have broadband connection 
) I’m only playing but it’s good fun.
I’m also trying to get back into my crosswords to excersise my brain (and maybe improve my spelling). I’ve been reading a book on how to solve them, and it’s helping a bit. I’m also tring to find some good daily ones online to practice on, so if anyone knows some … drop me a line.
I’m also cross today that our local ASDA don’t deliver in our area, which is a source of frustration as this would be one less job to do. They also let you use the site, which is even more frustrating as you can see the carrot but you can’t quite reach it. Aghhhhhh.
Have just recieved notification that the lovley Meggan (might have spelt that wrong.) who is my second cousin, has made a website. The address is www.isntgodgreat.bravehost.com
Check it out, it’s a good job and it’s true, God is good. He has done lots of great things in my life, and others. Sometimes I get a bit down and cross, but reading this site has cheered me up and reminded me of the things that are important.
Anyway.. perhaps I do feel the tiredness creeping up now, which must be good.
Here’s to a good nights sleep.

The secret news can now be released to the world.
We are having a baby! Yay… Baby chris(tine) is now 14 weeks old, which is 2 weeks more than we were expecting. The babys heart is beating and it is wriggling about like mad and had hicups when the scan was taking place. If this is all correct then he/she will pop out on the 28th November 2004.
Here is a picture of the baby, looking fetching..
I will also create a page with all the baby pics on, where you can see the full size pictures. (link on the left hand side)
