Neighbours

As I was getting into my car to head off to rugby last night my neighbours collared me. They'd found Biscuit's collar (it's designed to come off if it gets snagged), it must have fell off in the week.

It turns out Biscuit's round there all the time. They even had the cheek to let her in their house one night whilst we were away as she was wet and looked hungry...

Firstly, we were only gone for the weekend and had a friend round there each day to top up their food and give them a stroke. Cats are independent animals and am sure they were pleased of the peace and quiet.

Secondly who do they think they are? Biscuit's on a diet so I imagine she would pester them for food, as she does with us every time we go into the kitchen. Does that mean they fed her?

Thirdly, it's her own stupid fault if she got wet as she must have been standing out in the rain.

In addition they asked about when the fence was getting fixed (part of it blew down a month ago). She didn't say it in a nice way (or that's how I interpreted it), she said it in a way to make sure we were getting it done. The handyman should finally be fixing it this weekend, I told her and she informed me that it was a long time...

At the time I didn't think much of it but in hindsight, there was more too it. Piss off! Their cards are marked...

Star Trek

I'm off to see the new Star Trek film tonight.

I wouldn't call myself a Star Trek fan but I do like Sci-fi and if it's as good as the reviews say it is then i'm in for a treat but you never know, I don't think i've seen a good one.

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite site has stopped working.

I haven't had an update through google reader this week which was odd as there's usually at least one per day so I thought he might be on holiday.

I've tried going to the site and it can't find the server.

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully they'll be back up and running by the weekend.

Paint spray

In addition to me not having a great sleep last night, I also spilt over a can of paint onto the kitchen floor this morning!

Doh!

Luckily we managed to mop it all up.

What's going to happen next? I've got rugby later, maybe i'll break an ankle, or even worse Man Utd win the Champions League again...

Bloody cats!!!

I was rudely awoken last night by a high pitched squeak. Poppet had caught another frog!

I launched it into our next door neighbor's garden (the frog not the cat) so hopefully that'll be the last of them.

Killer cats

Our cats have been hunting again. Not only did we find a dead mouse under the bed on Saturday morning but Poppet has started to bring in fat juicy frogs! Yuk!

I managed to catch them and release them the first two times, but we were woken up at 4 this morning, this time it was dead. I assume it was the same stupid one.

Bloody cats!

Weekend

Last night was pretty good. I got home at around 6 and finally watched the Starwars cartoon, not that bad really. I then watched an episode of Firefly and then watched Shaft. The new one with Samuel L Jackson. Again, not as bad as I thought it'd be.

I was supposed to be heading to Bristol today to meet up with some old uni mates but my bed for the night fell through and hotels looked too expensive at such late notice. So i've decided to give it a miss. Shame as it would have been good to see a few of the guys. I'm sure we'll sort something out for later in the summer.

Instead we went for a drive in the country to pick up a sewing machine for April, we popped into a farm shop on the way back and bought loads of goodies. I've also washed the car, a bit of gardening and some cleaning. Just about enough time to have a nice hot bath before heading out into Tonbridge for some fancy Indian food.

Tomorrow, i'll head back up to Corby to see Ross, watch the footy and have some beers.

Monday, I may have a mixed roast. Chicken, beef, pork and lamb! Hmm, all the food groups.

Touch rugby

I joined a mixed touch rugby side last night and it was good fun. Most of the guys are from my normal team so it's good to see them. I'm surprisingly fitter than I thought.

There are some annoying rules though, you're not allowed to pass out of the tackle and you only need to touch with one hand, which can be anywhere, within reason of course as we're also playing with girls...

Some of them are surprisingly good.

I should be playing every Wednesday, that's if James doesn't corrupt me like he did last week.

Happy birthday Laptop

It's the 2nd birthday of my laptop today. It cost the best part of a thousand pounds when I bought it and it still plays Football Manager like a dream. Unfortunately it's a bit battered now, some of the keys are sticky (cat spilling juice incident) and I get the blue screen of death every couple of weeks.

It's days are numbered, however it's still got 1 year left before I can justify getting a new one.

Another anniversary is also due soon (Saturday), it'll be one year in Tonbridge in our house! The time has flown by.
