A long-awaited day off

It’s been a shitty week here in Toyland (I’ve been exposed to too many Noddy videos). Too much work again, leading to grumpy old men (see previous post) who really need to take a break and chill (And our sincerest apologies to anyone thinking of getting married. We really do love weddings! Honestly)

So I’m dragging him forcibly out of the door all the way to London tomorrow, to the opening weekend of the Face of Fashion Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. Should be fun (three kids notwithstanding) and hopefully it will inspire us both, as well as giving him a break. At the very least I’ll get to see Kate Moss without any makeup, looking old, which will either make me feel better or depress me totally (probably the latter).

I’m also hoping to pay a fleeting visit to Coffee Cake and Kink - the UK's only kinky gallery café although God only knows what I’m going to do with the kids whilst we’re in there. Maybe we can take it in turns to sneak in, and I can bring them cakes and juice on the pavement, or something.

Brilliant concept though……two of my favourite loves in life, cakes and fetish photography. Genius marketing concept. Wish I could set up something like that here in Norfolk, but we’d be burnt at the stake by the locals on our opening night.

Will report back on the exhibition in due course.

In the meantime, I’m spending the evening trying to persuade him to hide a nude in his software during beta testing. If the user clicks on a certain sequence of buttons somewhere in the user interface, he’ll find a gorgeous nude young woman appear mysteriously before his eyes (definitely NOT going to be a picture of me, I said “gorgeous” and “young”, remember). I figure that this will be a great incentive to get our customers beta testing the software.
It'll drive ‘em crazy !
Plus it’ll get our software nicely tested too.
