Busy weekend

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

There seems to be a lot of stuff going on at the moment, it’s hard to find time just to kick back and relax. I was ill last week, had some cluster headaches.. hopefully I won’t have any more. The weekend was brilliant fun, Seb & Becky came to stay and we went to Drayton Manor on Saturday and the Severn Valley Railway on Sunday. Both days were really fun but very very tiring!

Drayton Manor was hilarious – there was this girl there with huge platform heels on and a white posh coat.. we saw her while we were queuing for ‘Splash Canyon’, the rapids ride. When her boyfriend handed her the disposable rain mac he got for her from the machine in the queue, she came out with ‘oh, are we going to get wet?’. Top points for brains, that one. She was only in the queue for a water ride at a theme park. I went on most of the stuff, though my head started hurting late afternoon so I had to skip one or two things that would have broke my brain.

We managed to take Homily with us to the steam railway yesterday, which was great. We travelled from Kidderminster all the way along the track to Bridgnorth, then got off partway back and walked a mile and a bit between stops and caught the next train after that. Homily was in her element and got fussed over by various train passengers. One woman was terrified of her and had to walk past shielding her eyes! I don’t know how anyone could be scared of Homily, she’s just a bundle of fluff. We had a very tired doggie by the end of the day though!

Top Gear was back this weekend, which was hilarious. Love that show. Also – how great was Doctor Who!? Cannot wait for the next two week’s shows. But then, no more Doctor Who for ages after :(

Website wise, I’ve been playing about with my site a lot lately. I’ve moved my blog to it’s own subdomain and will be moving my gallery to flickr I think – I’m tired of messing with zenphoto and flickr works with everything I use! I’m constantly playing with my site though. I’ve started using tumblr again after attempting to use wordpress to create a tumblog at my site.. which worked but there weren’t many easy fast ways to post, which sucked.

Probably?

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I am currently infuriating James by replying to everything he says with the word ‘probably’, or a variation on the theme. What can I say? I’m in a silly mood all day. :D

Been feeling a bit rubbish today, a combination of stress, heat, headache and PMT. I was good though and didn’t submit to cravings of bad food too much, other than a splurge with my friends Ben and Jerry.

My driving lesson went well, did my first ever emergency stop which went brilliantly, even if I do say so myself! Messed up a reversing round a corner because I was reversing around a corner with a drive on the corner and the guy who lives there wanted to go up his drive so I had to get out of the way sharpish! Nailed the second corner I tried though, bang on. It was quite amusing actually, there was another learner out doing corners and they came up to my first corner and waited a bit, then drove off when they saw how insanely busy it was.. then while I was reversing around the second one lo and behold there they were again – so they drove past with such an evil look at me & Paul! They managed to find a corner further on though, I passed them as they were messing it up.

Aww, James & Homily just dozed off simultaneously, with James curled up around the dog, who is curled up in a ball – cute pair! The snoring coming from both of them kinda detracts from the cuteness however!

Anyway, I was going to write this post to talk about my new website – which is still a work in progress! I’ve been playing with new design concepts, so take a look and let me know what you think. There isn’t a massive amount of content yet, mostly just this blog & a half made gallery. Some bits and pieces need changing, but I’m fairly happy with how it is going. I’ve put my contact details on the blog there as well, if you want to email me your opinions, or just if you wanna chat and haven’t got my contact info!

There are some neat bits to the site (I think), the lifestream on the blog is quite cool as it shows my activity on the web pretty well, and I’m running the latest version of wordpress which has some new cool features – some of which I’ve yet to put into play. If you want the best experience, then browse happy and have the latest flash installed (it’s necessary for the inline music player to work – and you should keep your software updated anyway :P)

I should toddle off to the land of nod now. Goodnight! :)
