Off twitter

Some friends recently recommended watching Social Dilemma (Netflix) and have now decided to stop using Twitter.  I'm not too worried about my information getting used it's more down to the social manipulation tactics they use to entice you to interact.  

I wouldn't say I use twitter that often anyway, but it has become part of my morning ritual when I wake up.

• Wake up
• Check football gossip
• Check other sport news
• Check BBC news
• Check twitter

I stopped using Instagram a few weeks back and Facebook a couple of years ago.

I think WhatsApp is the only one left.  But I think i'll keep it for a little while as I don't think I can go back to text messages just yet.

I will miss the funny cat videos, videos of people hurting themselves due to their own stupidity but not much else really.

Crazy dog

 Here's our crazy dog Arwen giving me the run around

Wow! That's what he's been doing

I'm trialling Amazon Prime's music service so searched for one of my favourite songs,  the Sound of Silence cover by The Disturbed.  There it was including the original by Simon and Garfunckle.  To my astonishment I also found this version

Todd Hoffman is one of my favourite characters in Gold Rush which is one of my favourite shows.  He, and his family have not been in the last few seasons.  I mostly think it's down to them never making any profit.  But now it appears it's because he's pursuing his music career.

Anyway here he is belting out a classic.  Enjoy.

Perfect film watching partner

April's upstairs in the bath so watching Aliens with the dog.

Good on FM

Interesting random event in my latest save. Not sure we're any closer to such an event in real life but every little counts.

Well that was entertaining

 April accidently let the dog out of the kitchen and she ran straight up the stairs to see the decorator and proceeded to dip her face in the paint.  

Luckily it was water based paint and rubbed straight off.

Doh!

Walking in the rain

 April was taking Flo swimming yesterday so I went out in the rain with Arthur.

Here's Tonbridge's latest attraction.  A new outdoor swimming pool...  It's the kids sand pit in the racecourse.  Yikes.  Let's hope we don't have another flood.

Greedy

 Not one but two squeaky toys keeping me entertained whilst trying to work.

Will it ever end?

No.

We have the final stage of the decorating project (started back in March) finishing today.  This is the friend of the carpet guy who's filling and painting the holes in the ceiling on our landings where the carpet fitters were too rigorous with their fitting and popped all the newly fitted plaster board around the screws that were used to fix them to the ceiling.

He's just knocked on the kitchen door to tell us that he's peeled back the masking tape and some of the paint from the newly painted walls has peeled off with it.  Urgh!  Luckily we have some paint left over somewhere so he's going to touch that up too.

Work station

 Despite having recently finished my home office I have now been relegated back downstairs to stay with the dog.  The proverbial dog house.

With April having to look after Arthur, I have to be responsible for the hound.

Now to put the heating on, it's bloody freezing down here in the kitchen.
