Am sat wondering. With everything else that is happening, why do I care what happens in the X Factor? But, in a funny (and sad) way I do. How can the Essex weirdo go through, but the lad from Liverpool (and Scunny?) didn't ? If I'm not to careful, I might even care who wins!

Bills and phone calls. And now , just getting ready for another trip over the bridge. I suppose, at least I got to see the motorbikes .. A bit selfish I know. But I need a smile at the minute

Probably not the best time to watch last nights Dr Who. But they were right in the papers for once - it IS a tear jerker. Bye Bye Amelia Pond

Positive ...

Well that's the first job done and decided. The air rifle that went boing has been sorted and test fired - yeah! The other rifle with a jam - not so good . Needs a more expert gunsmith. Am wondering now what to do next.

I knew it ...

I knew it ... Got home from the hospital to find the main ring main had tripped. After a bit of fiddling I found that it was only the dining room/lounge ring. Am guessing we have a puddle under the floor boards and one of the under floor wires is hanging in it. Need an electrician, but haven't the spare cash to pay for one!!

Some day off

Why is it,when you get a day off work, it feels even busier than when you are at work. Even now, at barely 8 in the morning I am sat in the haematology department of the local hospital "volunteering" a blood sample. This message probably won't even go out until I get home. There is no wireless network that I can use, and the iPad doesn't have a mobile account (not that you are suppose to have that active here either). The thing is I can't see today getting very much better!!

Digital drawing

Am having ( or more accurately was having) one if those "ummmm" moments. Have sketched, using paper and pencil on and off for ages, but yesterday I started doing a "proper" picture on the iPad for the first time . And I'm not sure I like it

Am sat, watching a saved episode of Mock the Week having already watched last nights saved Dr Who thinking that I should really do something else. And then thinking "STUFF IT!!"

After the stresses of this week, an hour or so shooting helps settle the mind. Pity about the continuing ache in my arm

Am I right in the head?

Am I right in the head? (And yes, I am expecting certain types of replies from certain people ;0) ). Once again the automated part of my mind has woken me up at around 6, even though I'm not at work. However my first thought was "wouldn't it be good to shoot some paper?" Arrows or pellets? Both are good. Is that normal?

Friday ....

The positive is, of course it's Friday !! But that's about it. It's dark. It's dull. It's cold and its raining. And, yet, it is only the beginning of autumn. It feels like it is going to be a very long winter

iOS6, an update (sort of)

A personally annoying "addition" to the new version of the Apple OS is, you download a new app, find it on you screen to see it sporting a bright blue ribbon with "New" emblazoned across it. Just in case you had forgotten you have just downloaded it

Untitled

Last night I went ahead and did something I wouldn't usually do. I updated both my pad and phone to the new apple iOS6. The good news is they both still work. The difference? Ah well that's another story. With the claim, in the supplied text, of over 200 separate changes. I've noticed about a dozen!!

Seriously not impressed with the way life works at the minute. Nature has a stinking way of treating people who have suffered enough

Socks .....

How the hell have we ended up with this many socks? And why we're none of them in a pair?

Busy day .....

Spent this morning in Lincoln getting a new work laptop setup, and most of the afternoon near Grimsby using it. There's nothing like getting used to it quickly ;0)

Weather ....

Ain't it funny weather at the moment. Just through the course of today, it has been cold ( or should I say cool?). It's has been so cloudy the street lights came on and, as it is now sunny. I know the british weather is always an odd thing, but really!!

Is my puppy well fed?

Am just sat here wondering if Douggie is better fed than me? My breakfast consists of bread and butter ( posh bread to be fair) and Douggie has had a bowl of Rabbit, in jelly with assorted vegetables - hummmm

Typical ...

It's filing typical isn't it. The alarm went off nice and early yesterday when it turned out I wasn't actually at work. This morning - no alarm at all, even though it was seemingly turned on!!!

Annoyed

Am really Mardy now ( I know, nothing new there ) Got up, having volunteered for overtime. Fed the puppy, filled the van. Stuffed down breakfast and powered up the laptop. Login and nothing. Sometime in the last few days the overtime allocation had been cancelled. And no one thought it was important enough to actually tell me. Not happy .....

You can tell its Monday - am on overtime that I didn't want, stuck on a 5 minute job, that has taken over two hours so far. And, given a safe parking spot, I could imagine myself nodding off. Better get back to the grind stone

Eyes are now sore, and the brain is tired. Yet there is the dishwasher to fill, a toilet seat to mend and Archery and Airguns gear to put away. What shall I do next ?? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That just goes to show how out of practice I am with my BareBow. Being unable to hit barn doors comes to mind ;(

A new film

Am thinking of making a film - BIN RAIDER staring Dougal the Labradoodle. Is he in search of ancient artefacts? Of course not, but a nice Pork bone will do nicely. The odd sweet wrapper wouldn't go amiss either ;0)

A Farm ...

Yeah gods, another job with the term FARM in the address. Let's say hello to the middle of no where again!!!

Speedtesters ...

Just out of professional interest I have, at this point in time 3 different speed tester apps on my phone. And it's no wonder we have to deal with such confusion. With a download speed range of 13mb at best and 0.45mb at worst? Wheat chance have I got to work out what's happening

A Cull ...

Not the normal thing to do on waking up but, with iPad in hand, have just had a quick cull of little used "friends" on Facebook. That may well be followed by unused groups, pages and Twitter follows. Am guessing getting ready for work and breakfast are more important
