The VT Boys like baking cookies

The VT Boys have been busy today, after a wash and breakfast, Mr Biscuits joined us at 12:00 as his mum taxied him over to Norfolk. It was great to see him, and Mr Biscuits had a lot of jobs for Mr.Mac to do as his external hard drive was not working and his laptop needed a re-install of the operating system.
As it turned out is was his hard drive in the caddy which was faulty not the caddy, so we but in a spare 60Gb IDE hard drive and all was working well. The laptop needed a data backup so we put it all on our new HP Proliant Microserver and that was working well too.

30 minutes later the laptop had a new operating system and drives had to be updated, and one hour later all was ready to Rock and Roll. In between we had time to make some cookies and we made all sorts - yummy. For dinner we had Lasagna and chocolate mousse for afters, tonight we are going to watch a film, however we don't know which one to watch yet.

The VT Boys have been building lots op laptops


The Builds
The VT Boys have been very busy this week, Mr.Garfield started his first job building laptops for a school in Norfolk at Mr.Mac work. He has 90 laptops to do and already he has finished 45 of them. He works really hard and I am very proud of him.
33 Laptops ready - 12 more ready in the office - Wow
Mr.Garfield enjoyed the drives to work and working around other people in Mr.Mac company. He has been staying in Mr.Mac's house and we have been watching Men in Black, a very good film.
Laptops leftover to do for next week
The way it looks he will be only coming over for 1 more week, because the rate he is working at, all the laptops will be done next week.

The VT Boys the younger years



The VT Boys have changed a lot over the number of years, here are some pictures of all of them 6 or more years ago.

This is Mr Garfield, this picture was taken in 2005 when Mr.Mac and Mr.Garfield when't to the Aston Martin Races at Donington Castle, this was the first time he had a Big Breakfast and he loved it.
This is Mr.Mac Junior, this picture was taken at the bowling alley in 2004, he still had a very young face and a lovely smile.
This is Mr.Biscuits not eating biscuits this time but French fries, we just think calling Mr.Chips did't sound right for him. This picture was taken in 2004

The VT Boys had a great weekend

The VT Boys had a great weekend, we had lots of stuff to do, but before we did anything else we had some lunch at Arbuckles at Downham Market, because we arrived a bit early, we only had breakfast, Mr.Mac,Mr Biscuits and Mr.Garfield had Steak with chips and eggs, which was lovely.



We had some old computers that did not work any more so we drove to the dump and got rid of them.Mr.Mac and Mr.Biscuits had to make some Apple Clocks, Mr.Biscuits really likes making them, this time he made a Apple USB clock and a Aluminium Clock with black Apple logo, they look fantastic.
Recently we have been playing Real Racing 2 - Multi Player - Mr.Garfield on the iPhone 4s, Mr.Biscuits on the iPad 1 and Mr.Mac on the Mac Mini, we can all race against each other and it work really well - great fun. The VT Boys opted for dinner  for Sweet & Sour chicken - homemade of course.

The VT Boys like meatloaf

The VT Boys like meatloaf, yes we do like to Rock band Meatloaf, but we also like to eat it, yesterday we cooked home made meatloaf which was yummy. We are always busy and this weekend was no exemption, Mr.Biscuits was very good in helping Mr.Mac preparing the ingredients for the meatloaf and in no time it was ready to go in the oven for 1 hour, after this we could not wait to dig in to it, it was lovely we agreed.
In between we also had time to make a Apple clock a new hobby Mr.Mac started a week ago, he already made a few prototypes and both Mr.Garfield and Mr.Biscuits liked all of them. Mr.Biscuits was very busy drilling a whole in the aluminium and soon the clock was ready, this model was much better than the one Mr.Mac made a few days earlier.
Mr.Garfield also had his GCSE results in this week and he worked really hard to get very good results, now in two weeks he will start college which he is looking forward to. Mr.Biscuits has been playing really well with the smallest Angel this weekend and had a lot of fun with the Play-Doh see pictures below.

The VT Boys have been to Hunstanton

Yesterday the VT Boys have been to Hunstanton and we had a great day, the weather was nice and we had no problems parking the car. We had a lovely walk and our little Angel wanted to have a ride on the carrousel which was no problem, however soon it started to move she got scared and wanted to come off, the lady who was operating the carrousel had to stop it midway because she got very scared.




After all this we had some ice-cream to calm our nerves, we walked to the arcade and it was very busy inside, we had a big bag of money which we took from home and started to play on the various machines, no this was great and even our little Angel enjoyed that. after two hour of playing and winning lots of tickets we had enough, so on our way back we had to buy some donuts - lovely you can't go to the seaside without having donuts.


When at home we played for a bit, and Mr.Biscuits kept our little Angel busy upstairs, playing with her new play kitchen, so that Mr.Mac did some housework and prepared the dinner, which was home made lasagne - yummy. Tomorrow we are going to have a easy day, but will spend sometime outside in the garden or going to the park.

The VT Boys had Sweet & Sour Chicken

The VT Boys have come back from holiday in Spain, so all of them are spending some time together this weekend. We made some plans what to do and hopefully the weather will hold up this weekend. Yesterday we came home late afternoon, so Mr.Mac was making dinner, now we had lots of choice and in the end we all opted for Sweet & Sour Chicken with rice.
We all really enjoyed it and Mr.Biscuits and Mr.Garfield think it is better than from the Chinese, which is a nice compliment to get from our food experts. After the washing up we put one of the little Angels to bed and starting to watch the Running Man in full HD, we all agreed it was a very good film. It was time to go to bed as tomorrow will be a busy day again.
