Hello there readers,

Happy New Year. Hope you are all well. I am ok. A bit down cause I am stuck in...and I don't like New Year's Eve. Still 2007 might be an improvement on 2006. Let's hope so.

This my last post of 2006. Plenty to come though in 2007.

Rant: They hanged Saddam Hussein....in a way its good riddance. But, it wont stop the civil war in Iraq. They should put Bush and Blair on trial for the murder of all the people killed in all the bombings of late. The Sunday Times predicts the company I work for will be sold off by it's parent company. Better not had. The city should not influence chief executives...they should be able to make up their own minds. I think we are a while off recession but you never now what might happen just around the corner. Don't mention the Ashes.

Friday: Well went to work today after having a shave. Was there all morning. Got a present of my work colleague. I feel guilty cause I didnt get them anything this year, although next year I will try if I am still in the same job. After that I came home, didn't do too much in the afternoon apart from watch a couple of episodes of House on DVD and hoping my new telly would turn up. It didn't. :( Spent most of the afternoon in my bedroom watching the portable and reading.

Saturday was more of what I was doing Friday afternoon. Reading and watching a couple of episodes of House on DVD. i then went to the chippy for tea and out to 3 pubs, The Bentlands, The Newhampton and the Bradmore Arms where had I not eaten earlier I would have had the 20oz steak. I had some pasta instead while my cousin and brother had something else. Eventually got back home after having a quick look at my cousin's computer which had got Win 98 on it and told him not to bother connecting to the internet due to the lack of disk space. Came home. Read for about 20mins and went to bed.

Today: Got up at 6am and fixed the outside toilet, well knocked the ballcock back into place so it wouldnt keep pouring water out the overflow pipe. I went back to bed and got up a bit later. Had a shower, walked to ASDA and then read Rage by Wilbur Smith and finished the last 80pages. I won't say anything so you can read it and find out the ending for yourself. Did my early morning reading then and then went round my mum's for lunch. Turkey, mash, sprouts, roast spuds....yummy, couldn't finish it this time. Still had a game of bowling with my youngest brother and lost. Came home then, and watched an episode or two of House on DVD and then did a bit of studying. I don't like New Years Eve, never have done - find it expensive and immensely boring when I have gone out.

Two websites for you today now are http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0509/feature2/index.html about Nairobi and www.funtrivia.com - a fun site I hope. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Thank you for reading today and hope you have a good 2007. Post soon.

Thursday 28th December 2006

Hello there readers,

Hope you are well. Its been a quiet couple of days. Christmas is over. New year approaching...:( I hate New Year's Eve. It will be the same old stuff next year as this. No such thing as a new year.

Anyways, yesterday, I got up after doing my usual day off work reading. I went to watch House on DVD and guess what.....the TV didn't work. :( I had to look for a new one. Fortunately I managed to find a reasonably priced widescreen job on amazon. Hope it turns up tomorrow. Miss a reasonably sized telly. I have a portable but its not the same. No HD ready TV for me...believe its a con to the point that why should I fork out for another set of disks with films on either blu-ray or hd-dvd. Movie studio's take note - stick with the normal DVD format - you wont go wrong. I did a little studying in the afternoon after also a walk to ASDA and I had got my wits together. I then went round to see one of my brother's familys for the better part of the evening. Had tea there. And played the Cars game on a console. :) I won the first race lol. I then drove back and went to bed, oh yeah after I had sent my brother the emadd2 guitar chord from the net.

Today: Still miffed about the telly. I got up, went to the tip with the old telly and the box from me office chair plus other boxes. I came home and watched an episode of House on DVD and finished me early morning reading. I have watched another episode of House on DVD. Imported all my remaining CDs into Itunes which took a while and installed a train sim addin pack which wont work. Played a few tunes on my guitar. Rated a few on itunes. Did a little studying but couldn't settle, so had a shower. Still couldnt settle so read a bit of other books/magazines. Well Rage by Wilbur Smith another 50pages read. Michael Courtney wrote an article for his newpaper, his brother Garry has a business plan for some land... and Manfred de la Ray - justice minister - meets Moses Gama in prison. Keeping it to the point in case you read the book. As part of my studying I found that one of the most popular searches on Yahoo is www.google.com - daft as it may seem. Want to see popular searches? try http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist - well the states anyway.

The websites for today are http://www.naturephotographers.net/ - online magazine for nature photographers. http://www.ziepod.com/ - bit more trendy - podcast player and receiver. Check these out and let me know what you think of these sites. I may even add a photograph I have taken sometime....

Thank you for reading and I look forward to your responses.

Sleep well.

Boxing Day 2006

Hi there readers,

Hope you have had a good Christmas. A week today and I am back at work.

Rant: Just the same old one about the England cricket team....useless. Oh and I believe that Boxing Day should be a holiday the same as Christmas Day and all shops should be shut this day too. I don't agree with these big stores all opening today cause of the sales. They should wait till the 27th. Anyways,

Yesterday, I went round me mums, had a few presents there after I had opened a few I had at home. I got the usual showergel, shaving stuff, one pair of socks...an office chair, a train sim addin pack, chocolates, a couple of vouchers, a couple of books and a CD. My mum makes a mean Christmas lunch. Missed it last year because of the ex-gf. Must get her stuff back to Cardiff sometime. I also took my two half-brother's too my sister's house and we were there ages, played at least 25games of Connect 4. They don't make the frame like they used too, Its a bit too flimsy. I did like their flexy scooby doo though....its quite good. They opened their presents from me which I took round. My eldest niece was very pleased with the original Grease CD. :) Her mum told me what to get rofl. Returned to mum's and sat and watched the Vicar of Dibley. It was a tad crude but I knew what they were talking about....but it was very funny. I then came home... installed my train sim addin and did one activity before going to bed.
I still found time to do my reading bits before getting up. :)

Today: Got up after reading. Didnt do much this morning except watch and episode of House and then another tonight. I went round me mum's lunchtime for dinner again. Played a couple of games with my half-brothers before coming home. I did some reading of Rage by Wilbur Smith about 60pages, where Moses Gama gets caught and Tara Courtney is disowned by her husband. Also started reading The World According To Clarkson by Jeremy Clarkson....the book having sat above my head for most of the last year....so far 20pages in it is very funny....:) I also watched some documentary about the startings out of the musical Phantom of the Opera, didnt mean to watch most of it but I did and it was quiet interesting. Oh yeah I remember I put the office chair together this morning. Took me over half an hour. Still its done.

And a website or two for you. http://www.lezano.com/ - a photographer's website. http://www.tooled-up.com/ - a website that sells tools to DIY experts etc. Take a look at these sites and let me know what you think.

Thank you for reading.

Sleep well.

Christmas Day 2006

Merry Christmas everyone.

Celebrate and enjoy.

Its been a funny old few days since my last post.

I have been to work, my nan's, fixed my sort of brother's sister-in-law's computer....he aint married yet. And now we finally arrive at Christmas day.

Rant: People who suck up to others are not very good at their jobs. In fact they are useless. Many business's are run by people who do a lot of sucking up....and I find this to be dishonest behaviour. China.....if it doesn't allow freedom of speech(doesn't have to have a democracy) how can corrupt officials be caught....well this could be the answer why in future years we may see the Chinese equivalent of Enron or Worldcom. Still.....they will learn eventually. Mind you do we have free speech in the UK? ermmm some would say it appears not.... although that Christian couple who got compensation have proved that you cannot deny free speech.

Well yesterday, was round me mums. Friday I went to ASDA after work. I walked round. Got me stuff and used the self-service checkout as it had the quickest queue. Funny how so many people dont like it and a couple of people tried to push in. Told em where to go... Then went to my Nan's where my uncle was and cousin Lee. First time i have seen either in ages. My uncle was a bit angry...then again he his going through the final pieces of a divorce....the wife he had for many years turned out to be nothing but a lieing cheat Gail simner....neee Baker..... take note. I also found out that in court you are only allowed to say yes or no.....hows the truth supposed to get out? So much for British justice...its more flawed now than it ever was and all because lawyers want to make lots of money out of the system. This seems to me that they have no interest in fairness, equality or justice. Booooooooooo!!!! Charge em all with treason. Give victims the right to have their say in court before sentencing and fathers, husbands equal rights....before the European Court of Human Rights do!!!!

Ooops whinging there a bit. Still some websites for you.... http://www.photographymonthly.com/ - is the website for a photography magazine. And http://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/ - its a bookstore apparently aimed at parents. Many of you may find this latter link useful. Take a look at both and let me know what you think of the sites.

Thank you for reading and hope you all have an enjoyable day.

PS Sympathies to those families who lost loved oned in war, and to the family of James Brown the singer who passed away in the last day.

Wednesday 20th December 2006

Hello there readers,

Hope you are well. I am ok today - still single though.

Rant - nothing really apart from its seems quiet lately considering Christmas is almost upon us.

Went to work this morning in the car. Dropped letter off to the bank this morning. Work was busy today. I had to go to Morrissons lunchtime for me dinner. Got some diesel too.

When I left work I came home, done a little reading, read my email and surfed the web a bit.

Not much today. Put the shopping away too.

Websites for you today are http://www.bennettrobotworks.com/ - speaks for itself but you tell me what you think and http://creative.gettyimages.com/source/home/home.aspx?country=gbr - big library holding of photographic images. Let me know what you think of the site.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to your correspondence soon.

Tueday 19th December 2006

Hello there readers,

Hope you are well. Its Christmas....doesnt feel it...seems very quiet this year.

Rant: ermmmm nothing really...the UK is hooked on gadgets...wonder why...must be the dreadful boredom of politicians that force us to seek entertainment elsewhere rofl. One is dating a cheeky girl....errr...hows he managed that? Not fair.... rofl

And yes I am still single and a bit down about it.

Today though: got up, went to post office, got remaining outstanding parcels. Went to work. It was a steady day and a bit strange. We went out for our christmas meal and it was the best one we have had, since I have been back at the company. There was only 7 of us and it went well. I recommend it Sinners and Thinners, Compton Wolverhanpton. Returned to the office. When I finished, I dropped my colleague off at a garage to pick his car up. Then continued home the long way. Very foggy.

Once i got home, wrapped the last presents up. Read my email and watched some telly. Cleaned the kitchen sink and filled the dishwasher and put it on. I fed the cats too.

Need to go to the tip.

And now for the websites. the first http://www.comcastic.com/ - i think it is flash animated puppets you can move around. Take a look and let me know what you think. The second is http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/ - speaks for itself. Somewhere I would like to look round though.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for reading.

Monday 18th December 2006

Hello readers,

Hope you are all well. Christmas is approaching. Merry Christmas to you all.

Rant: err no rant... i think. Not today - can't think of anything. Ahhh yes the bank and its charges...must reclaim some. Apparently they are illegal....charging interest is fine. But any other charge is illegal. Go figure... lol. Microsoft could be in trouble I beleive as not so much its Monopoly but the fact that new PCs come installed with Windows. You are not given a choice between it and Linux....the later being less risky in terms of security. For Apple's OS you basically need a Mac. Oh yeah, cricket, England lost the Ashes series. Oh dear...I did say Flintoff was a shite captain. Now I am right. Still.....the six nations starts next year... it will be between France and Wales if Wales' Duncan Jones stops faffing about and letting opposing players through the defence.

And as for my day well....

I got up this morning at half 5. Went to work in the car thanks to my step-father who taxed it. So I drove... Work was well...very quiet today. Needed an engineer for something but still quiet. Tomorrow however will be busy. To make up for the quiet day today.

I came home when I finished, my new toaster and new shoes had been dumped in the bin. Was not impressed. Had to fish them out. Read my email, finished off a Photography Monthly magazine. And read a couple of pages of the Snowdownia book - well its a photo book with comments by famous Welsh people.

Thats it really apart from trying out my new toaster and feeding the cats. Watched a bit of news. Also did a little bit of surfing the web.

And for your delights, for the time being two websites. One will be accessible via the title link of each post. The first is http://www.andyrouse.co.uk/ - a photographer's website who specialises in Wildlife.
The second is http://www.rhapsody.com/welcome.html - to do with music - I think its a download site you have to pay for at first quick glance. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Thank you for reading.

Sunday 17th December 2006

Hello there readers,

Hope you are well. I am ok. Feet are cold.

Well its been a surprisingly busy weekend. Yesterday my half-brother came round and did a couple of hours in the garden. His brother took us both back to mums and was there longer than intended as we were going to go to Stafford. But...the battery in the car was playing up. Anyways, eventually my brother picked me up and took me to his girlfriend's sisters flat so I could do some more work sorting out her pc. All uptodate now :)

Took me 6 hours though. Left it defragging.

Got home, went to bed. Got up today, went round my mums with my brother and moved a couple of nice arm chairs. One to my house and one to his. Helped him shift one up into his bedroom. Then went I went back to mums for Sunday lunch. Their computer was fine...well the one my half-brothers use needs a good cleaning as they have nearly filled the C: drive. Doh!!!

Came back, took the old chair to the tip with some cardboard. Put up a shower curtain....shock horror, me using a drill. Fed the cats and thats about it really. Watched a little telly.

Oh, also played MS train simulator....the one activity crashed out on me. Must get a patch for it if there is one.

And with that a website for you. http://www.scoopt.com/ - something to do with selling photographs. Take a look and tell me what you think.

and a second one today... http://www.andybudd.com/ a blog i think on photography. Let me know.

Thank you for reading and hope you have had a good weekend.

Wednesday 13th December 2006

Hi there readers,

Hope you are well. Sorry I didn't post last night. Was too tired when I got back from my brother's girlfriend's sister's house as I was trying to sort out problems with her computer. I was there 3 and half hours. I think i sorted it out but her internet connection is playing up.

Today. I got up, cycled to work, it was a busy day today at work. My work colleague checked my cycle tyres as apparently he suspected they were under pressure. They were, they only had 25% of the air they should have had. Cycling home was easier although it was windy.

Got home, read my email, watched an episode of House on DVD. Nearly finished series one. Wish series 2 was available. Still..... I also spoke to my brother then his intended sister-in-law.... and tried to help her again but to no avail. Made a few suggestions but if it isnt sorted may have to go round to her flat and help her the weekend.

Surfed the web. Will get back into studying the weekend i think,

Fed the cats too. Although I almost forgot.

And the website today is http://www.fpme.co.uk/ - about freelance photography. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Thank you for reading.

Monday 11th December 2006

Hello there readers,

Well another day. Cycled to work today - bit windy bit wet - good job i have waterproofs - just wish my trainers were.

News: Not much today. In fact none at all - well me brains gone to sleep. Another football manager bites the dust....can't say it wasn't expected though. Wolves my local club is also up for sale for £20million. Can anyone afford to invest in a club that is looking less and less likely to play premiership footie next year?

Work today was busy. My work colleague managed half a day before being told to go home as he had been sick, wondered why it was quiet when i got into work this morning. Still.... I got everything done. I made a woman from HR laugh. You know when you have one of them moments when your brain doesnt function? It happened to me in the canteen, couldnt remember what the cube things i had were called.... they being southern fried cubed potatoes.

I eventually left work on time, and cycled home, wasnt too bad and it wasnt raining. Think my tyres will need checking though.

Got home, read me post and bought the bike in. Me RSPB payment had been stopped by the bank...on investigation found they had charged me £38 for a stopping a £2.59 payment cause I was over me overdraft limit. You tell me where the logic is in that. I am not impressed and will phone them up tomorrow to get that reversed and put back. Grrrr talk about taking liberties. I didnt even get a letter from the bank. :( Swines!!!

I read me email, nothing interesting as usual. Surfed the web, done a little studying. Watched an episode of House on DVD. And thats about it really. Caught part of Cold Case on BBC1. Must get off the net so to speak andget my head in books and journal articles. I get so bored though.

And now for the website http://www.ricohpmmc.com/ - home of Ricoh who apart from other things make digital cameras. Take a look and let me know what you think of the site.

Thank you.

Will post again tomorrow.

Night night.

Sunday 10th December 2006

Hello there readers,

Hope this posts this time. This is the second time of posting.

Hope you are all well.

Well yesterday was a quiet day. Did my usual reading before getting out of the bed on a Sunday. Read my email, fed the cats, filled the dishwasher and even used my coffee filter machine.

I watched an episode of House on DVD, Muder She Wrote and Sports Personality of the Year on BBC1. Fine that Zara Phillips came first for the main award but not happy at all that Theo Walcot got the Young Sports Personality of the Year award. Disgraceful.

Other stuff: Pinochet is dead...good. Russians upsetting the world with their alleged poisoning of one of their own. Doh!!! Bush and Blair sucking up to each other last week, no surprise their.
And over the weekend a Tanker crashed into a Jetty off Wales....no the captain is called Wa****(only* in case spelling it fully was what upset my posting last time.)!!! :) rofl.

And a wesbite for you. http://www.adobe.co.uk - a new version v8 of reader is out. Take a look and let me know what you think of the site.

Thank you for reading :) It is much appreciated.

Saturday 9th December 2006

Hello there readers,

Hope you are well, as I sneeze at the screen. No worries though not coming down with a cold.

Thought: Why should the motorist like me pay more in road tax and fuel duty....when trains dont run when we want them too and the same goes for buses, Talk about abusing the tax payer. I mean at peak times both buses and trains are overcrowded - thats a fact. Who wants to be squashed like a sardine. Not me. This theiving UK government will soon have the biggest shock of their lives when people find out the real truth about the UK economy - same old labour same old policies....tax and spend. Where's the police - they seem to spend most of their time frittering about from one place to another.... Anyways.... what have a I been doing today otherwise this posting could run on and on.

Its a Saturday and.....well not much. Put a couple of Christmas decorations up and sprayed some of that fame snow spray on some windows. I have written some Christmas cards. Will finish the rest of tomorrow.

I did my usual round of reading before I got up. I have done bits of studying, been to ASDA on foot. :) I have watched an episode of House on DVD, Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 as well as Robin Hood. I also saw NCIS on channel 5. I have also rated a few tunes.

Here is today's website http://www.olympus.co.uk/ - home of Olympus the camera maker as well as other things. Take as look and let me know what you think of it.

Thank you for reading. :)

Friday 8th December 2006

Hi there readers,

Hope you are well. Its getting colder here.

No thoughts today.

Cycled to work today. Work was quiet, but we ended up checking out the whole office block for a CEO visit next week. Took longer than we thought.

Eventually, I cycled home. I used the underpass at Bilston Street island this time. I got home, put some washing in, read my email, watched an episode of House on DVD and watched Have a I Got News for you on BBC1. The recycling bin hadnt been emptied so that could be a phone call to the council next week.

Feeling sleepy. Done a little studying too. :)

A website for you is http://www.canon.co.uk/ - home of Canon. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Thank you for reading.

Thursday 7th December 2006

Hello there readers,

Hope you are well. I seem to have joint aches. Not having a good year really. Need to do more walking.

Thoughts: Well its been a long day. Single still and no sign of a love life. Quite depressing leading upto christmas. :( Oh well. Blair and Bush - comedy duo - lol. Liars more like. Cricket - make Vaughan captain in the next test - never mind if he aint well - he can be a 12th man.

Today I went to work - got my brother to give me a lift in. If the wind dies down I might cycle tomorrow morning. If not then he will have to give me a lift again. Work was quiet but it was expected today. Still caught up on some admin tasks only to find there was a slight technicality noone bothered to tell us. Will implement that in the new year. Got a coy look from one woman. Cleaned the main office I work in for the visit next week of a big boss. My work colleague dropped me off at uni after I finished work. Got the book I reserved - only got it for a week though instead of 3 weeks. I shall just reserve it again next week. Went to see lecturer and dialled his extension and got him at home....lol modern technology hey!!!

I then walked home via ASDA, needed some teabags and toilet roll. When I got home read my email, watched and episode of House on DVD and put the bins out. Chatted to my only remaining friend on AOL for about ten minutes. Watched the news, had some tea, contemplated my thoughts and then watched Coast on BBC2.

Did a little studying and rated a few tracks of music.

And the website is http://www.sony.co.uk/ - take a look at their site and let me know what you think. PS I think the PS3 will be a flop.

Thank you for reading.

Wednesday 6th December 2006

Hi there readers,

Hope you are well. I am bored and tired.

Thoughts of today: Would I have been better off staying in Coventry many years ago? Nope. I was stressed when I left the Burnt Post pub. I was nicknamed Stavros. Last time I had a nickname. Now people finally use my real name. :) As for the woman I care about, I hope she says hello to me first on AOL before the weekend as I am planning to get rid of it if she doesnt as she is the last person on my list. She seemed a bit short with me the last time I tried to speak to her. Hope she is ok.

Today: Got up on time today :) Cycled to work. It was busy to start with but tailed off at the end of my day. I then cycled home. Bilston Street island aint half dangerous if you are on a bike.

Got home, read my email, done a little studying and watched an episode of House on DVD. Borrowed my brother's car and drove to ASDA. Slowly catching up on my studying. Must remember to hand in the survey tomorrow. Otherwise I will forget.

Thats it really. Nothing new to report. I rated a few Itunes tracks and fixed some photos.

Time for bed but before I go a website http://www.wacom-europe.com/uk/index.asp - if you take a look please let me know if you know what this is about. It seems confusing.

Thank you for reading.

Tuesday 5th December 2006

Hi there readers,

Hope you are well. Not feeling too bright today. Perhaps it is because I am single and Christmas is coming....just makes me feel down.

Thoughts of the day - well its funny how my step-father is ok with using this modern computer but my uncle who is nearly 20 years younger is not interested at all. Mind you my nan doesnt like the DVD player. Finds it awkard to use. As for my thoughts on my uni coursework I think I am behind. The uni term is nearly over and I havent done the survery yet...shock horror. Wonder if I can get a weeks study leave next year. I am over my last gf but not the one before. Finding it hard not to be down about it, I can't stop caring just cause we don't see each other, and she lives a few miles across town. Don't have the confidence anymore.

Anyways, today, I have been to work. Got my brother up and got him to drive me to work as it was too windy and wet to cycle. I also got up late by 40mins. At least I managed to have my toast although I missed my shower. Will shave before I go to bed and have the shower in the morning. Otherwise my hair will look like a bird's nest. lol Work was busy, but slow going. My colleague drove me home via the town task I have to do.

Once home I managed to read my email, do a little studying, watched an episode of House on DVD - thats the 3rd one completed. Fed the cats. Had soup for tea. Rated some Itunes tracks. Thats about it really. Oh and a bit of time in contemplation and thought. Wish I didn't do that cause it can be depressing.

Still, a website for you is http://www.sigma-imaging-uk.com/ - an supplier of camera lenses etc. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Thank you for reading.

Monday 4th December 2006

Hello there readers,

Hope you are well. Feeling down? See if this video can cheer you up. http://www.cmt.com/loaded/player.jhtml?vid=39551&paid=400125&channelID=21&gateway=artists&s0=artists&s1=az&s2=judd_cledus_t_&refURL=/artists/az/judd_cledus_t_/videos.jhtml&adPth=/sitewide/ads/adsetup/artists/&adPN=videos this is based on Faith Hill's This Kiss song ahttp://www.cmt.com/loaded/player.jhtml?vid=26292&paid=400125&channelID=21&gateway=artists&s0=artists&s1=az&s2=judd_cledus_t_&refURL=/artists/az/judd_cledus_t_/videos.jhtml&adPth=/sitewide/ads/adsetup/artists/&adPN=videosnd is called Christmas sang by a bloke who cant sing. Or his one about shania twain on the 2nd link above.

Apart from that its been a busy day at work. I cycled there and back. Nearly slipped off on the way back because of some oil on the road and then nearly crashed into a woman's car when she was pulling out of side road without looking right for anything coming.

I read my email. Some studying, filled the dishwasher. And watched and episode of House on DVD. Also fed the cats. Rated a few itunes tracks and edited one photo. Loads to do.

And now for the website - http://www.bjornthomassen.co.uk/ - photographer's website. Take a look and let me know what you think once you make it past the Flash animation.

Thank you for reading.

This weekend

Hi there readers,

Hope you are well. Havent managed much studying this weekend. Got no road tax so cycling to work. Be a bit dark in the morning but shouldnt be too bad unless its windy.

Yesterday: Got up after my usual bout of weekend reading. One half-brother popped round to do 2 hours in the garden. My mum picked him up. I am now trying to remember what I did yesterday afternoon, all I know is I must have watched any episode of House on DVD, did a little bit of studying, and read a photography article. I did watch the end of Strictly Come Dancing and Robin Hood on BBC1 and NCIS on channel 5 - both episodes. What I did in the afternoon yesterday defeats me though. Perhaps I was contemplating life. I know an ex-gf who knows I care about her but who wont acknowledge it. Its disheartening. I know I also read my email yesterday and perhaps surfed the web.

Oh well. Today.... I got up after my usual reading. I had a shower, went to ASDA - I walked. :) Got some food and that. Probably bought a bit more junkish food, like cheesecake and biscuits. Ooooops. lol. Good job I got to use the bike the next week. I came home, read some email, started doing some uni work. Then went round my mum's for lunch. After lunch came home with my two half-brothers who helped me sure up the one piece of fence that was falling down after last nights stormy weather. After faffing about with MS train simulator and a new add in pack which was found to have a fault, they both went home. I have since watched an episode of House on DVD and finished that paper. I also watched Casualty 1906 on BBC1. Quite interesting. Since I have read my email and done some web surfing.

No rants today - well maybe. Just hope the Tories take it easy on the motorist. I am a Tory at heart and like to see tax cuts...after all there is way too much waste in public services. Still we can't have everything. Never mind.

Need cheering up.

A website today for you is http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=2/6868&pq-locale=en_GB - apologies. It is long - it is the link for Kodak UK a digital camera manufacturer. None of whose cameras I own lol. Just its next on my list in a tiny note book I have. I will go back to the original one when I have exhausted all those sites.

Hope you have had a good weekend. If not....remember...things can only get better...yeah...right. Well maybe eventually.

Thank you for reading.

Last couple of days

Hi there readers,

Hope you are well. Still got a little bit of a cough. My one eye is feeling a bit dry too.

I have been to work the last couple of days. Its been steady.

Done some comtemplation. About what mum wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas. A couple of train sim add-in packs. As for an ex-gf sent her a text saying I care about her a lot but have heard nothing from her.

Thats it really, went to ASDA last night to get some bits and pieces. Watched Have I Got News for You, an episode or two of House. And Coast on BBC2 on Thursday.

Ashes....cricket....England....crikey.....
