After purchasing my trusty new best friend - the barbecue - a few weeks back, my back garden has played host to a fair few grills and gatherings.

Every weekend since we've had a few people around, and my brother has come around a fair few more evenings than usual, burgers in hand - a dead giveaway!

We weren't really expecting to entertain so much, so my other half is looking online at rattan patio furniture so everyone can sit on real seats rather than upturned plant pots!

But in no way am I complaining, I love entertaining! Great weather, great guests, barbecued food and drinks - it's the life! Every day while I'm sat at work, I just can't wait to get home to my garden!

I finally had to say goodbye to my old running trainers the other day. It was sad as they are my old faithfuls - but when they get to the point that the sole is coming away I suppose it is time to let go!

Finding a decent pair of running trainers can be hard work as they need to be comfortable and sturdy so they keep your foot safe.

I was however very surprised to find a decent pair of diesel trainers that do the trick! Normally I look for Reebok or Nike ones.

I managed to get this pair:

They are retro looking with blue laces and blue details. They are called the ‘unforgettable trainers,’ and have a hound tooth sole. They are so comfortable and to make it EVEN better they were half price at just £37 instead of £75! Bargain!

Hopefully they might see me to through to next years marathon! You never know!

I like to go online and play slot machines and so I have shopped around to find the best sites with the best prizes.

Obviously, slot machines whether online or playing them in the flesh are NOT a game of skill. They revolve around luck and this is what you need to play as well as some good self-control.

Playing slot machines online is really easy to do. Most casino websites run the games off their sites so you don’t need to get involved with downloading any applications to host the games.

Some of the best sites have a progressive jackpot, which makes the games exciting. One site I recently visited has a progressive jackpot of nearly £2 million so this will always attract players!

My biggest win so far is £1,000, which I was really pleased about! It might not sound amazingly big but at the end of the day I am not interested in spending huge amounts of money to get the big prizes. Playing slot machines is all about bringing the cash home, not always about risking it.

If you run a large website or online company and are looking to make the most out of your server you should try looking into Co-location. Essentially this will host your network in another location, though still providing you with access to it easily from your regular office spot. Large companies may have their own giant built in server but if you’re a little smaller it could be a great way for you to boost your server.
Co-locating can free up lots of space on your internal network and really make your system work faster and more effectively. Simply put, the ordinary computer is not built to host a full network so if you are using multiple computers to link onto the same thing then it would easily be worth the efforts of finding someone in the area that offers the service.

Why? I hear you ask! Well.......Because of this baby:

My very own gas barbecue grill! It cost my £249, but it is going to get used every weekend this summer – rain or shine!

This will be cooking many steaks and burgers whilst cracking open a few Fosters! It’s going to magical!
