I have just returned from The Independent Regional Sudoku Tournament held in a hotel on the seafront of Brighton. Unfortunately, I only managed to complete the first two puzzles in the 45 minutes given. The third puzzle had an annoying error somewhere and the fourth puzzle (probably the hardest) was only half complete when time was called.

Battles at IKEA and the pigeons live another day
Yesterday, Leah told me more about her day out (literally) at IKEA. At the checkout, she had a problem with the price of the dog basket and caused a huge queue in one of the three tills open that day.

More blogs to do
Looks like other people want their own Blog now… I’ll be creating a new one for Angie today. If I have time, I’ll also create a new design for Sheona’s blog as it uses the default css at the moment.
My new blog design
I have just finished a new design for my blog. I based it on the "blackboard" CSS, adding quite a few new border and colour styles and my own banner design with some small photos.
Badminton corners
I am trying to improve my badminton skills so that I can pinpoint the far corners. I think I played better last week when I did manage to get the shuttle cock in the target area for most of my match against Lydia.
Spamming on ICQ with authorizations
I am continually receiving authorizations on my ICQ from two different users with a URL as their alias. I could ignore the user from the authorization window, but that would make no difference as there is a new ICQ number each time.
