Thy Lord moveth in mysterious ways

I found a bird poo stained pound coin right outside my front door this morning, coincidentally for breakfast at work this morning we have Belgian waffles with blueberries and creme for £1.

I'm taking that as a sign that Jebus wants me to stuff my face with one.

I've finally got my stereo working properly

After Kris got most of my stereo working a couple of months ago I was still stuck with having to copy all of my music manually onto the stereo's hard drive. I managed to get to R but decided to give up and look into getting the darn thing to work.

I was pretty sure that I wouldn't have been the first person to come across the same problem so I looked on line. After 20 mins or so I found it. My firewall was blocking it. Doh! Nice of my firewall to tel me though.

I've now got 24gb on there. We've still a few outstanding to copy across but we're almost there. Roll on the bbq for it's grand unveiling.

Broken umbrella

I noticed yesterday that my umbrella was broken. It's quite annoying as it was quite pricey and it's the second one i've bought myself in the last year and a half.

However it's a blessing in disguise as it does smell a little of cat wee. The bloody cats left me a little present when I left it out to dry one day.

I may have to steal a work one.

Work news

I've been pretty busy at work for the past few months now, we've a big deadline coming up on Friday (Lloyd's ICAs) but by the looks of it we're a little ahead of schedule so fingers crossed the next few weeks will be a bit more relaxed. That is until we have to make a load of new changes to our model before the really big deadline in September.

We had a guy round last week to quote for replacing some fence panels (still to send us the quote, hopefully he won't mess us around like the last guy) .

Yesterday we had a guy round to quote putting new flooring down in our hall / living room. He seemed pretty keen, but so would you be when it's going to cost us over a grand!

Eek!

Are cats evil?

This weekend we had a frog and a mouse in the house. Bloody things! And guess who had to catch them?

At lease they tend not to kill them.

Anyone for a game of ping pong?

We went out with some friends last night and ended up going to a dim sum restaurant (small chain) called ping pong.

It was kind of like an oriental tapas, you choose a bunch of small startery type things each and just stuff your face. All in all very good.

No sleep for the wicked

The cats woke me up at three this morning, and my inability to go back to sleep after being woken up combined with the heat meant I didn't get back to sleep until 6 in the morning!

Needless to say I am shattered.

Unfortunately i'm out for a meal with friends tonight, then off to see a band tomorrow night and then at an engagement party in London on Saturday.

I am doing nothing on Sunday.

Battered Mars Bars

On my way home from touch rugby last night I stopped off at our new fish and chip shop to buy April a battered Mars Bar (she's wanted to try one for ages).

The, shall I say large girl that served me told me that they were lovely. I said "oh really" and she proceeded to tell me that she'd battered and deep fried everything.

Snickers
Kit Kat
Malteasers
A whole tub of Miniature Heroes!

Dear me. She needs help. Just because you work in a fish and chip shop doesn't mean that you need to eat the produce every minute of the day.

Given all the build up April scoffed the lot in around 20 seconds.

Verdict: "It tastes like fish"

Not my first choice of puddings I have to say.

Urgh, I do not feel well 2

I went out with James last night and do not feel well this morning.

Poor me.
