Due to a busy time in work, and a general apathy I have ended up with about 712 unread emails in my inbox, normally this is no big deal as they all get sorted eventually…
But I just got a text message accusing me of ignore email, and asking why… Now what was my heinous crime? ignored email for 1 month? 2 weeks? 1 week? no 1 day…
As a wise Ninja once said “One should learn patience in the time a cigarette takes to burn!”
[Friday]
The weekend kicked off by popping round to ammos and for a lovely meal, and cake (of which I still have one small bit left.). and a night of socialising and taking the piss out of the American TV program we were watching…
[Saturday]
Had a meeting with some friends to discuss a website they want doing. and to get enough information to make a start. Then out for a few drinks (But not too may due to training the following day)
[Sunday]
All Day Training Seminar (KenJutsu). Then Out for a curry with the dojo in the evening as a belated xmas do..
So, its been a while since I have updated this thing with anything sensible, or valid, or anything other than meme’s or simple posts. So I figured it was about time to put something in. But just to warn you it will probably be just ramblings or mutterings, as normal :0)
So the weekend….
Saturday – The Redi Daze
Well Saturday turned out to be a lovely hot, sunny day, I believe summer is finally here, for the few short weeks we have in this country before the rains and the snows start again :0)
So after a morning doing gardening for my grandmother, it was decided that it was a good day to go sit out in the sun, with some cold beers and watch the bands at the Redi Daze music festival, well it was sunny, and luckily the festival is free, well the bands were not the best, they were not even the best of the worse, but it was free and you get what you pay for :0)
Sunday – The lazi Daze
Sunday was a nice lazy peaceful day in the sun, Stated off by a wander around Chirk car boot sale, which is a great place to pick up books, and other handy items you wouldn’t want to pay full price for. Then home for a quick cuppa with Planetpete and Helen. Then the rest of the day spent sitting in the sun reading, before ending the day with a good movie. Tis good to have the odd day just relaxing in the sun, to recharge the old batteries.
So it was a good, sunny, relaxing weekend
Saturday was the wedding of Walesboy and Ammos, so it was a case of getting up, suited and booted, and off to a church in Connah’s Quay, near queensferry. The wedding had some novel extras, like the choir of knights templar’s, and the vicar with the monty pythen comedy limp. It was missing the cute, single, bridesmaids or guests that I believe should be mandatory at any wedding I go to, but otherwise it was a nice ceremony.
Then it was a quick trip to the pub for a couple of pints to waste time till the evening do, Lesson 1: If you go to a very busy bar during a football match where they are cued up several people deep for drinks, and you are wearing a suit you get every barmaid coming over to serve you.
Then there was the evening do, which went along the normal lines. Drink, buffet, dancing, where the dj played a minimum of decent tracks, and did his best to keep the dance floor empty for fire safety reasons. Lesson 2: Wedding dj’s have no taste in music. and so it went on till past the witching hour…
Sunday – after a lie in to recover from the night before, it was time to quickly grab some food, then off to the dojo for a shadow wrestling seminar, then grading day. And I was glad I had stayed off the booze the night before or I would never have passed, it was hard enough with the examiner having a different view of the moves than I had learnt. But I managed to pass, which was good…
After a quick stop off for my niece to show me how she could ride her bike without stabilisers (She had just learnt that morning how to) I went home to relax with a good book, and to watch the film “Cursed”. Interesting film but a bit too predictable.
Well after two lovely hot, sunny days when I was too busy to do anything, I was looking forward to the Monday. But alas it was not to be, it was a day of rain, hailstones, and coldness…
So I gave up on my original plans and went shopping instead, then continued my relaxing with a good book. Well the last month had been a very hectic one, with way too much stuff going on to the point some days were double if not treble booked. I am looking forward to having a rest this week…
Saturday of the Stag
Well with plans finally discovered we all met up at the paintballing area at 12:30, so by 1 we were all geared up and ready to go. Ammunition was purchased, and guns loaded, and we set out for 6 games. Due to small numbers of people on the stag do, we played with the rest of the people there, and were randomly placed into teams based on odd/even numbers. It was a good day, with my team winning 3-nil over the 6 games. Unfortunately for the Stag he was on the other team, so lost :0)
I do kind of feel bad for him, since I was supposed to be on his team but switched sides so I had the chance of shooting him, and I did manage to clear out the fort on the “Capture the fort” Game, and I captured the flag on the last game of the day, even though I had run out of ammunition..
[A SHORT PAUSE IN THE STAG OCCURRED FOR THE STAG TO RECOVER AND TREAT HIS WOUNDS]
Then It was a meetup in a pub for some drinks before ending the night with a curry. Hopefully had a good night, to commiserate the end of his freedom… Then after a quick stop off to watch Doctor Who, it was time to return home.
The shoeing was post-poned till a time when it will not ruin the stags night.
Sunday of Sun
Sunday was very hot and sunny, The summer must be here at last. The downside of this was the light blaring through the curtains waking me up about 3 hours after I’d finally got to bed. So the chance of sleep gone for the day, I decided to go up the horseshoe pass for a coffee and to enjoy the view. Then continue down to cefn and a nice walk along the canal, and other such stuff to waste away the day in the sun.
Well just one more week left and this month is over, And I can have a relaxing month. with nothing planned. Just got 2 birthdays, a wedding, doctors appointment, 3 nights training, and a grading day left this month.
Well it’s getting close to the end of the year “24 days left” so I figured it was time to take a moment to contemplate the last year, see where I stand, and whats going on, whats changed, what hasn’t, and any other random stuff that’s in my mind.
Work
I am still working at the insane asylum that calls itself Net-Work Internet, Still under paid for the job I do (NOTE: not the work I do) And apart from the odd staff change, nothing much has changed here. But with plans for outsourcing the basic programing work to India, then the possibilities for change, excitment, and adventure “or unemployment”
Training
No change, apart from the addition of a new syllabus to the collection of stuff already being taught.
Life
No change, its all the same-ole same-ole. But there are secret plans afoot to change all that next year, so watch this space!
Love
Well I’m still single, And still waiting for number 3 to show up, If you are unsure what the hell I am on about with that last comment read This.
Projects for friends
Arrgghhh!!
I have been way to lazy in recent months, and I am now well behind on the projects I have in a stack for friends and family. Not counting my own stuff. Hopefully this laziness/apathy will disappear in the new year, and I can catch up on stuff.
Xmas/Yule/Winter solstice Planning
Much More Arrrrrgggghhh!!!
So far I do not even have any ideas on what to get people, let alone start to try and find time to shop! And some annoying people I know have finished their shopping/wrapping/everything. I blame the laziness of myself.
