Karen Mark & James Redshaw

James was delighted to win the trophy for the most unusual car at the cub scout Pinewood derby race. This may be something to do with the fact that his car was not a car it was a bus! And a big yellow bus at that. It started out with the idea that it should be a train, but once James started paining it was clear that it would end up looking more like a bus. Many of the Americans said it was a school bus, but James knows better it is a cub scout bus! Have a look for yourself:

I have today updated my Wordpress theme. I have optimised this to run faster with less unnecessary code and comments. I have also made a few small changes to improve readability ad usability.

Widgets have been activated. this a function now available in Wordpress (they have be available for a while), but the last time I had updated my layout they were not available. So I am really only just catching up.

Finally, like most themes theer was an original inspation for this layout,  if you want to know more about the original development of this theme, I have previously described the previous version of the theme in my post http://www.redshaw.co.uk/2005/03/25/wordpress-theme/

It snowed on Sunday night, a great way for James to start back in school. He would much rather of been playing in the snow.
Since then it has been really cold, down to -11C in the city last night, not over -3C during the day and now it is -7 as I head off for the night. It is keeping everything crisp and white, and it looks like the next couple of days will be more of the same.
