Yet another test

It’s not even midnight yet, and I’m at it again. This is the second test of a new posting system – a service called Posterous.

Well let’s give it another go – Happy new Year

Another day, another program and another test

This is one of those test message things that i like doing , seemingly, every other week. We'll see if this any better than some of the other things that I tried.

2010 is all but finished, and 2011 a few short hours away. To everyone I know and care for, a Happy and peaceful New Year.
Is it just me? or is the only "REAL" mobile devices built by Apple? Just seen several tech stories, all iPhone/iPad
morning all. Would like to thank all those who have given me "concrete nose syndrome " My head is banging

Sorry about the spelling of the last post - the brain's working fine, it's just the eyes and the fingers that are on strike
Am sat working out the bills whilst I have a chance. God I hate thjs time of year. Lots of month (months') , no money
yee gods. Tesco delivery mans just been. Did we order ALL THAT!! I know its a months order for January, but hells teeth - too much
Have just had a rumble through my twitter "follow" list and had a tidy.
Good that the snows gone. May have been a mistake to put the heating back to the normal times though! Oh well, find a big jumper
My eyes are sore, and my head hurts. TIRED

Morning

Morning! ! Am on my one day of leave allowed for Christmas.
Its dark and damp and waiting for Tesco,s to turn up (a bit later in the morning to be honest)

Am also waiting to ring the doctors appointment line. That'll be fun the first day back after a five day holiday.

Question? Why am I sat here watching an episode of Mock the Week, one I've seen once this week.
Am guessing from what I've just seen, I have a few accounts - and they all feed posts into each other. Setting changes coming up!!
Idiot - tried to post, as usual, but forget to check the "to post to" tick boxes, TWICE. impatience will be my un-doing

Rain

I never thought that I would be so pleased as to see it rain !!

Next thing is to pop my head out of the back door and side if the temperature has gone up as well.

But not yet. Coffee is going cold.

Ummm. Just found the list of all my old weblogs. Not even sure if half of them work.

Look back over last year

It is seemingly traditional to review the last 12 months at this point of the year.

I have to say I stopped that sort of thing a long time ago, when the negatives out numbered the positives, but not overwhelmed them.

And it has to be said, this year hasn't really been any different to previous years from that point of view. There have been some trials for sure. Several sessions of pain,pain and more pain. But I'm still alive - damaged, bent and twisted. pained, but still able to do what I would wish too. so this year hasn't been the best year, but certainly not the worst.

Snowing !!! - Nice, that's not happened for a while

Mid way between christmas and new year

Bank holiday Monday.

The morning is setting off slowly, and not to bad got that. Am actually wondering what to do first?

Have tried some of the handwriting apps for my pad, and I have to say they are nothing special, even compared to the input apps that actually come with the tab. The swype app (and the app being used to write this) is actually beating all the other options hands down. It still catches me out with certain little foibles, but, as a general rule it is even far quicker than even using the inbuilt keyboard functions.

Anyway, back to uploading photos top Facebook.

Christmas morning, and a visit to a Doctor

Well that was fun.

Just been upto Out of Hours at the local Hospital with a swollen,red mottled leg.

All ok, luckily. Thought it might be some thing serious, but the Doctor has checked and all is reasonably well. Just no more dancing for a day or two.

Oh sod, another cup of coffee gone cold. Reactivate the kettle
All this ironing, cleaning, sorting, washing and the like. What to do first??
Just done an early job for mum. Early call reminded me of someone who won't be here this christmas. Guess I'm a bit like him too. A few tears.

Last day at work before Christmas. Hopefully will be a steady day, but that wont happen. Van to Lincoln and then home.

Passed this church on the way round. Looked winter pretty

Lovely - a big fat Bacon Cheese Burger to warm me up. Just what the Doctor ordered
Maybe I'm being a bit glum. Just filled the van to see the clouds running across a bright bright moon.
What the hell am I doing? Blocked nose, tired, cold and dark. Just to go to work. Oh well!

What is it with Scunthorpe Traffic? Has everyone gone mad? (and you know who u r Mr Taxi)
Every screen is covered in finger prints!! Drives you mad...

Middle of nowhere, but not so bad.

Having five minutes come dinner break. Am at Garthorpe, which could well be classed as the middle of no where. A little bit unfair I guess, but it is certainly rural.

Have been down the road between the villages hundreds of times and thsts not a lot you can say really. Theres lots of very open fields, few treesa and very little else.

But today? Today was something special. With a low golden sun back lighting the whole county side, the whole scene was a picture of beauty. The trees, the few that there are were illuminated by a golden halo, tinged with the white of the hoare frost and remaining snow.

Beautiful.

Beautiful that is. Until I caught up with the back end of a filthy big red, diesel, Bus.

It was nice whilst it lasted.
Yee Gods ~ its cold out here. After all, it feels like being next to the middle of nowhere http://pi.pe/-3pnmro
I don't have the discipline to tweet properly. Not enough characters 4 me. Arrgghh.
It was funny to watch several adults sat around the lego box all building a little model of their own. :-))
Well, last night saw the Christmas Tree up and lego all across the floor. Thanks Jack.
Welcome to the begining of Christmas. Frost and snow seem to be the order of the day

Failure, once again

This looks like the end. Have been trying to sort the photos on and off all day, without much success. Google's failed and so have I .

Pity though. We have some file information, but thats all.

A Dear Diary update - Sunday 19th December

Am really tired today. Poorly type tired I guess. Although, I have to say, I'm not really sure why.

Am making the last few attempts at recovering the photos from Charlie's christening, but it really isn't looking good.

We'll see. Oh well, back to the ironing.

It looks like some of Charlies Christening photo's have gone. Tried all I know without success. Will continue trying, for what its worth

Failing miserably

It looks like some of the photo's taken at Charlies Christening have been lost forever. Have downloaded, tired and even purchase a couple of photo recovery software. But without success. Will continue trying later today, but I'm not holding my breath

well it's another Sunday Morning - EARLY Sunday. Woke up at work time ~ nuts. 4 more days and some time off

Trying to blog, and not getting what I want ..

Seriously ticked off now.

Trying to be able to post to my zxanga account in the same manner as I do every other account.

Fat chance. I normally use either individual clients, or,more often these days Ping.FM. As you can guess I'm getting g no where fast
What a shocker. Trying to put the tools back in the van, but can't open the side cargo doors ~ frozen shut

Dear Diary ... Thursday 16th December 2010

Thursday morning - 09.30 a.m.

Am out in the middle of nowhere (Eastoft to be honest), and boy is it grim. Eastoft is one of those nice is summer places, but today. The weather is damp, cold and very wind blown. Have taken shelter with a heater for a few moments before going on to the next job.

Update ~ 12.19
Am cold now, just cold.

Update number 2 - 17.00

Flaming technology's bloody useless. Try to post the original message and sod all happened. Had to wait till I get home for things to work properly .
Don't know about going to work, I could quite cheerfully go back to sleep {{YAWN}}

"It's looks like a Jelly Babies poo" ~~ the quote of the evening from the BBC (Jimmy's Food Factory for those who Care)
End of an era today. The Harrier Jump Jet takes its last official flight today. Remember watching a vertical takeoff awe struck when I was little.

Today is the first day we haven't been "two'ed" up because of the weather and its really quiet not having someone to moan with!!

Bit of a pain. Looks like we may have lost the photos Tilly took this aft - camera failure. Still trying to see if we can somehow recover them.
What a good day. So pleased, and honoured, to be one of Charlie's god parents. Thanks Mand,Nat & Jack. Nite Nite All.
Washed, shaved, dressed and ready to go. 10 minutes (hopefully) and we will be on the way to the church for Charlie's christening.
Confused!! Go on Android Market. Search for "Archery" and get results including "The Book of Common Prayer" ??

Saturday, December 11, 2010

Come to the end of a bad week at work. Tomorrow will be a very good day at Charlie's christening. Pity next week will be the same as this!!
Coming to the end of a bad bad week at work. Tomorrow is going. To

Dear Hootsuite. Many thanks for ur nice app, but I have to be honest, I dont care if I havent been on the internet for the past 3 days.

Wednesday, December 08, 2010

What the!!!! Come down to watch the news and make some brekky. Turn the TV on to be faced with The Muppet Christmas Carol
Got home last night safely - sort of. Good to c Mand, Nat and the boys. Not so good to have to take drainage apart and knock out ice
Well, here we go again. Tired, aching and snotty.

Monday, December 06, 2010

God I wish the rain would come & wash the snow away now.
God I hate waking up feeling this lethargic and sore. Worse thing is now I can't find the uniform I ironed in hurry last night - GGRRRRR.

Heaven. An evening with ABBA. 20 odd brilliant songs, it's like I'm a trainee teenager again.

Saturday, December 04, 2010

OOOHHH!!! Nuts - Damn doorbell went, and so did my coffee, all over the bill pile. Now have several soggy cheques to write

Thursday, December 02, 2010

Have to say - just seen myself in the mirror. And the phrase that came to my mind was "you Porky git" My submission. Really must do something!
And then just got home as tbr snow once again fell.Wish I had more than 142 characters to finish my posts with..
Spent most of the working day digging out vans (and wrecking my back one again). Somehow managed to gain provisions from a well known Supplier.
Am wondering what will happen today? Having seen outside I'm guessing I'm walking again!!!
Looks like another "difficult" day. Loaded the van to try moving it, and couldn't get the main cargo doors open - frozen.

Wednesday, December 01, 2010

Wot a waste. Have just taken an hour to clear my van, to be told cars can't get out the end of the road. Better walk to the Exchange then.

musing at lunch

Here I'm sat quietly having lunch at work while realising that I really have so much "Internet Rubbish" There must be hundre...
