Meanwhile, Barack Obama said he needed to correct some misconceptions about his background.

“I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-el, to save the Planet Earth,” he said, in a reference to Superman.

He also listed his great strength as “my humility” and his greatest weakness as being “a little too awesome”.

• I went to a Western themed Murder Mystery party which was a lot of fun. I was the murderer and I got away with it! muhaha
• My parents came up to visit and we went to the Balmoral Hotel for afternoon tea which was tea/coffee/sandwich/cake heaven in fantastic surroundings. Oh and we had a day in Glasgow as well.
• I was attending a one day conference in Dublin for work, so Ria and I made a wee holiday of it and did some sightseeing. Lovely city, quite similar to Edinburgh. Thanks to the RyanAir sale our flights cost a whole £8.
• I got promoted at work. Oh yes, I now have the word “Senior” in front of my job title.
• I’ve signed up for evening classes in Graphic Design at Edinburgh College of Art. Had my first class last week which was mainly an introduction to Illustrator and admin with our tutor. They’ve got some nice kit: 22″ iMacs fully loaded with the complete Adobe suite. Should be interesting to see what I learn.
• Ria and I are taking Ballroom dancing lessons at Dancebase. We’ve had five lessons so far and we’ve just got to turning in the Waltz. Trickier than you think…
