What's on

OK... I don't have a TV, right now I watch DVD's and stuff on my PC, I haven't got a TV capture card but I have to say, I'm starting NOT to miss TV which is a real worry.
Definetly going to get one sorted soon.

Decisions, decisions

Need to take some time off work soon but I'm at a bit of a loose end and can't decide whether to take a week off and grab a cheap holiday or what. I know if I take sometime off now, all I'll do is mope around the house.

New start

not long to go, looks like I may be getting a new staret but not the one I thought I would get

London

the day is drawinf closer and i've jst got ot book the tickets.
Feel a little worried but I hope it all works out well.

Taking a break

I am on holiday, well till tuesday anyway. I Just wanted a bit of downtime fom work and spend a bit of time just mooching abut, there's a festival on in Manchester, a jazz festival but being typically awkward, I'm not in a jazz mood, instead I'm listening to the Wilbury's, hard to believe that theses individuals got together by chance, just the right place at the right time with the same love and passion.
I believe that this was the first song they recorded.

Can't make an omlette without peeling a few potatoes

As the saying goes anyway..... so as I keep saying, I really don't like over the top food adn I'm progressively going back and revisiting old simple recipes, a bit like raiding your dads record collection for some classic songs from way back that are still just as good today, I'm sorting doing the same with recipes.
This morning for breakfast it was "Spanish Omlette".

I changed a couple of bits and also added a bit of Cumin and some cut green beans.
That's what's great about this it's a simple basic thing that you can add things to, to your liking.

Ingredients:-
2 eggs
2 potaties
half an onion
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil
Cheese

Free time in London

Still researching things to see and do in London particularly with a view to them being free as this place will suck you dry. This is something I definetly want to see, the new Pavillion at the Serpentine Gallery, I love the shape of it and can't wait to see it, the only thing I think I need to worry about is the weather.

cats and dogs

It is over, there was weather somewhat warmer for the last weeks but it has been an on and off thing, a little rain then the sun comes out so it is all sticky.
Today it is raining cats and dogs and it is the day I wanted to get a lot done, it always happens, even last night I thought it was warm and dry enough to have a BBQ, ohh was I wrong, by the time I got home and started up the bbq- out door grill it started to bucket down with rain so it was an inside BBQ!
Well I guess it is time I move my butt and try not to think of the rain so much and get some things done.

Stop wine-ing

I don't know what it is, but in summer I tend to drink a bit more beer and a lot less wine, but I like to try new ones but this one is definetly one of my favourites, I think I might place a regular order to make sure I don't run out.

Where's MY Summer!

I mean...... I know the weathermen get it wrong often.... it's a long running joke, weatherman says Rain, we get Sunshine, weatherman says Sunshine we get Rain, weatherman says, light drizzle......... we get a blizzard...... but they said this summer would be a scorcher a real record breaker... so how come all it's done today is try and drown me in liquid sunshine,,,,, yup I mean rain and lots of it.......

London drawing Closer!!!!!

London is getting nearer and I've got all the travel arrangments sorted now.
Got the train tickets the hotels and 7 day travelcards all sorted in advance so getting around should be no problem at all.

I'll post a list of possible things to be seen especially free ones as London just seems to leach $$$££££ .... whatever from your pocket.... every step your wallet just seems to get lighter with

Hello max!

There are so many things I do not like when hearing the word "Max"
Mad Max, ok movie, the word max does not scare me a lot...
A German Shepard named max, yes that can end up badly, usually with me bleeding.
Going to the garage and they say "sorry but it cost the maximum that we quoted" oh that makes me soil my pants and then there is the one that happened today " Sorry but your credit card is maxed out" ohh my god, now the interest rate is going to kill me.
Well thats life, right?

Up, down, round and round

Life, how funny is it with everything that happens.
Life it is sometimes worse then a roller coaster. I am pretty sure that life and mother nature are working hand in hand to make people look stupid and to add to the roller coaster ride that we call life.
Things can be going along perfectly in life and then BAM, you fall flat on your face and what happened just before that? it rained and you landed in the mud. There were sayings made for moments like this and it was sent from mother nature.
Knee deep in..........
Why did I write this blog? no bloody clue it was just something on my mind.

Weekend starts now!

Ok... it almost starts now, I have to work most of Saturday, but it's not Saturday, it's the exciting interlude just between work finishing and the weekend kicking off when you can get things sorted and remove the shackles of work with any means at your disposal whether thats going for a jog or a nice glass of Cognac (three guesses what I go for) lol... but the way I hope all of you are starting it is with Music!!!!!!!! nothing quite sets the tempo or temprament for the weekend than music.... I love this song... I'm just part ready to relax from work but also get ready for action and this song says it all.

London Calling!!!

OK... got some more prep work done for the London trip, looked up some attractions which were free and also got some stuff plotted on google maops that would be interesting to see and do. The accomodation is sorted so that just leaves the trains and things to arrange and book in advance.. I need to get hold of an oystercard too and that should make the trip a lot easier.
