Right, time to get started

I'm Mal.

Married to Mrs Mal, will be a father to Mal Jr. when he arrives in October and Food-Giver-in-Chief to our dog, Buddy.

I am a surveyor, not an estate agent, a surveyor (there is a difference - surveyors aren't bastards). My home these days is Reading and I work in London, making the trek every day. Last lil' tidbit...I play drums in a rock and roll band, you won't have heard of us but I like to think there is a bit of promise there.

You have to try stuff to love it, and thus I am attempting a blog for the first time. Can't be sure how long it'll keep going or how often I'll post. Hell, I'll be impressed if anyone other than Mrs. Mal reads it.

Still, there is some motivation behind my sudden entry into the blogging world. We are expecting Mal Jr. later this year and while trying to work out exactly why the free London evening papers give so much attention to Lindsey Lohan it occured that typing out my experiences in the coming months might be a good thing. We'll see. Knowing me I'll probably go off-piste for the majority of the posts and lose all track of the original intentions.

C'est la vie.

In reference to the Estate Agent V Surveyor differences, I would like to add that Mal's tie knot is less than the size of his head, he does not wear shiny ties, George At Asda suits, and does not drive a logo-emblazoned BMW Mini. Thank you.
