Phone Update

Am making progress, although it did involve removing the various associated accounts, pulling the battery, and then starting again. Not keen on the touch screen keyboard (but then I have never been good with ANY touch screen keyboard - fat fingers), but I will manage, I'm sure.

Thick!!!

Morning! God I can be thick. Have acquired a nice 2nd hand Blackberry Torch. In nice condition (bar one tiny scratch) and had got it working nicely. But I couldn't leave alone - now it doesn't sync properly and I cant remember what I altered. Time for a Google

Saturaday 28th, April 2012

Got to love a Saturday Morning. 

Have nodded off, yet again. 

Yet still get to see a couple of hours of favourite history programming.

Mike Loudes with Weaponds that made Britain - The Longbow, and then Russell Crowe and the Real Robin Hood.

Can't understand why I would be interested ;0)

I thought our Dog wasn't supposed to shed hair??? I Don't Think So!!

OUCH!!! Again

Morning and welcome to the weekend. looks like the weather is going to be "special" yet again. Have woken up feeling like I have been stabbed in the back, stiff in the small of the back, and a sharp pain the the shoulder - oh joy

Friday

Morning, and welcome to yet another miserable day.
Awake and up, once again far too early.
Have just seen Liam set off his Uni Interview, and I am watching something gentle - NOT.
Could be watching the news, or something "Historical". But no, I have to watch the Scott Brothers co-production with the History Channel - GETTYSBERG.
You know its going to realistic (as far as these things can ever be for TV) when you have to enter your Sky PIN.

What is it with drivers in Scunthorpe at the moment?

Before anyone starts, I know, I'm not the best driver on the planet. But at least I didn't do this.

In the last TWO days I have seen two cars go the wrong way down the one way section of Dunstall Street (but 5 minutes apart). Three or four cars trying to turn right out of Church Lane, on to the Kingsway, even though it it clearly signed "No Right Turn", and there are more and more cars running the Howdens Hill lights - with several thinking that red is the new green.

Now flat cap back on, and back to driving at 20.

Hurry up

Wish they would get on with the racing,

What a shame - am watching Martin Brundle's grid walk - nearly Grand Prix time, reshuffle the cushions and time to get comfy

Monaco GP 1955 Just shows how things have changed. Sky have just shown a piece about the Monaco GP in 1955. And it just shows you how things have changed. Sandbags on the corners and walls "to protect the drivers" A number of boats out in the bay, one being used to pick up Ascari as he swims away from his car as it flew into the water, and then to the bottom of the harbour. Thin tyres and proper racing - just shows how things have been sterilised to some extent.

Ouch!!!

That might have knackered things - nodded off on the settee. Wakeup to find the puppy is using me as a cushion - cute! Less cute is the fact I'm struggling to bend my back, and I have a pain running through my lower back and into the top of my right (now Twitching) leg. Need to find that list of recommended exercises

That's funny

Puppy, sat on the settee (and Cathy will do her nut!!) looks up as I wander through to the kitchen as an urgent coffee refill is required. The nose appears around the door, followed by those puppy dog eyes. Dougal stands for a few moments and then looks.
You can see the thoughts now going through a Puppy mind, and he walks straight over to the bread loaf on the kitchen table - pointing straight to it.
I'm guessing puppy wants toast!

It's Saturday

Morning everyone - ITS THE WEEK END!! YEAH.
Mores the pity, the weather forecast is for more rain.Then rain and possibly more rain. At least I have the chance to draw a couple of pictures this week, that's something I haven't done in a while. Mind you, all it odes is remind me to finish the watercolours I started last year!
Have a good weekend everyone.

This must seem like a consistent tirade of doom and gloom. 

Not feeling well! 

Not a good day at work! 

You know what I mean. 

But that is how it feels at the moment. It feels like you get penalised at work for doing the job the way you were trained to do. It feels like the whole of life is eat, sleep and work. 

Not a happy bunny this morning.

07:22:14

Have had tea. Had a bath and am waiting for a message. So tired now, and it is still me and the puppy(and he is asleep oln the hallway floor) Am guessing I will be asleep soon, so Nite, Nite. And so see you in the morning

Isn't it strange? From a full house, including Mandy, Nat, Jack and Charlie to, within an hour just me and puppy. Nat and the boys have gone home. Liams gone out to see his beloved and the Girls have gone to Sheffield to see Steps. Suddenly, I feel quite lonely. Oh Well! Better take the dog for a walk.

Am giving the BT Vision Box one more chance. Not really sure why - its just one of a number of options, and not even the best one. Guess I just like tinkering!!

Morning All. Went to bed really early feeling bad. Wake up feeling the same. The one thing I have recently realised is that the modern world runs too fast for me. Night still follows Day, but the world of today wants me to put more in a day than I have the energy to do. Or really want to do. The modern world is leaving me behind, and, I don't care. Let it run off. Burn it's self out. I may not catch up, but I will still be moving.
