24: The Sunday Times
Actually this covers Saturday too, I was busy busy with Mum and Dad, once again, but this was sorting out the house ready for Aunty Bett to come back more than anything. The house needed a good clean after a the time away down in London, see the parents when visiting, are the most messy!! I have proof!
Never mind, anyway, The main nub of the matter is that through all the chores I have done this weekend, I still haven’t got the tent out to see if it is any good yet, and there is only just over a week until Glastonbury rolls around. Dear me, methinks my skates need to be put on, but then again I have never been good with skates, in fact if you were going to do things quicker why do you need skates in the first place?
I ask you, surely if you were cooking a gourmet roast dinner for 6, that would be a bad situation to introduce such footware?
The front room has been rearranged for hopefully a better working environment, you see as I type this, it is 22:54 on the little tiny windows clock, on Sunday Evening, Mum and Dad have gone to bed before heading back to their corner of the world tomorrow (well Mum is heading off to Scotland for some reason for work) and I have a great Later with…. DVD playing in the background simply becuase the music that is showcased on Jools Holland’s show is quite fantastic.
Actually come to think of it, that is the last great Music show on TV baring that stuff on the music stations. Top of the Pops of course died a death because the BBC decided it couldn’t compete with the music channels. Still quite interesting that the music stations cannot better what Jools does. In fact, why is it on so late, I know that’s the idea of the title, but some of the music deserves the limelight at 10pm. Come on BBC, sort it out!!
Sorry, went off on one again! Yes Spring Cleaning happened, albeit very late, and the place looks better. We even have a new Toilet seat, oh the joys of living in Oswestry!! But Have been looking into relocating the gym, to Oswestry considering that most of my free time at present will come at the weekend and I don’t want to drive all the way to Telford all the time.
Because work finishes at all sorts of times, it is harder to do after work as you really feel knackered then. Speaking of which, this last few days, I had felt so tired, It was getting to the point that I was starting to fall asleep at the wheel of my car, which is always a bad sign. I had to have a long rest Friday night, simply no choice.
My copy of the Simply Red concert recorded at the Royal Albert Hall turned up this week too. It’s a Live CD which is recorded at the same time of the concert then 10 minutes later, if you are there, you can pick it up and take the whole thing home with you to listen again and again. Seeing as I couldn’t go, I figured why the hell not?
After all, when I did the same thing for the Nottingham Arena gig back in Nov 2005, it was one of the best purchases I had ever made. Mick H really does sound better live, than pre-recorded. The new songs were good, catchy and the Simplified stuff had faded back to the way they used to sound. Which is not all bad, but somehow some of the Simplified songs were better. It depends.
Also Aunty Bett, once again is making progress, she may be moving to the Medical Ward at Gobowen, where the full treatment begin to get her to walk again. Her leg is getting better, and she is losing all the liquid that built up as a result of the operation. Fantastic as they say.
Though the nurse last night, had stuck a pair of underpants on her head after she had said she wasn’t wearing one of those wooly hats that old people wear when they are nuts! (the ward she would be moving to used to be the Mental Ward! That’s why she said!)
Saw Natalie the weekend, and just relaxed, it was nice to just take a breather and reflect on things which had happened over the week. We were both tired, guess having that much fun takes a toll at some point eh kids? Still, she is a lovely woman, whose company i enjoy far too much. Maybe that’s a sign?
I was glad to see that my mate Glyn was taking time out and taking stock. Granted he did that while watching Pirates of the C 3, the confusing one, but hey each to their own right kids? Kelly by the looks of things has been enjoying MySpace too much, with various people commenting on her comments saying all sorts of strange and silly things. Welcome to the Internet.
We had our full exams results on Friday evening thanks to Wolverhampton Uni’s system being brought online. Well overall it is good, I don’t have to retake any of the subject areas. Multimedia, I did better on the exam than the assignment, so that ended on A15 (one off the top mark), Project Management was confirmed as a B13, which is great, but the subject which caused no end of concern, it turns out i only just got a pass mark (D6), which is one mark away from a fail.
The worst thing is, two other chaps, Steve and Paul Bremer (Ex RAF lad on our course), they only got one grade above that, which means that we all did terrible on it. Mr Paul Bremer, indicated to me how annoyed he was (i am not saying how annoyed btw) and wanted to appeal seeing as everyone did poorly. But I had to say, we passed the thing, let’s leave it.
They could remark it and fail us, so take what you can get and move on. Shame as he is going onto doing a full degree, and this does bring down the marks. Congrats again btw, for the XP MCP.
Right a few messages I wanted to leave on the internet for the relevant people to see.
Dave and Chris, hello fellas, tis been a fair while now, Dave, how was your birthday?
Steve and Kristi, hope you had fun the weekend relaxing after all the exams.
Matt, well, just be yourself. I command you.
Chez, hope things are going well,
and to The legend that is Mr. Paul Thompson, you still haven’t contacted me yet! Come on, you can’t be having that much fun contracting already?
And before I sign off, despite there being far more to type up, can anyone tell where the damned DVD remote control has gone, have been looking all over the place for it, and I have no idea where it last was! Bye Campers, and will speak to you all soon!
