What an amazing world we live in...

Whilst reading over somebody's shoulder on the bus ride to work I noticed that today's Metro made mention of Iron Maiden's new album and literally 20 seconds later I was listening to it. Just a few short years ago I would have had to save up my pennies and make the journey to the local purveyors of recorded media in the hope that they still had an available copy; now I just pick up my mobile, search Spotify and the music flows, almost immediately, into my lug 'oles. That's proper progress that is.

Very short and sweet today but there is another good reason. This will be my last entry until I have moved to the new house and got myself sorted out. Thankfully not very much has happened but I feel like I've accomplished quite a lot. I have organised a moving posse for Tuesday which includes (drumroll) The Colonel!! He is taking time out to come up from Exeter just to see me and to help me move - what a guy. Alex is going to borrow a big van from his Dad and everyone else has offered to muck in for the night. Looks like everything is going to go swimmingly. I will be back on Wednesday (assuming the installation goes through without a hitch) so I'll blog-it-up big then. Cheers to you all and BIG LOVE. Leave me some comments - I'm beginning to feel unloved Today's Word: CULMINATION Today's Mood: Bowl of Cherries... Plate of Oysters... Nuff said

Hmmm... I have to admit that this internet absence thing is becoming weirder by the minute. I haven't dropped it completely like I did a while ago and I have left myself available to some people. It seems that one of those people (who I will refer to as Dave even though it is not her real name) has been "found out". She has/had two blogs - a weebl blog and a personal blog - which I read on a regular basis but they were found by her boss and now she is facing problems because of them. The trouble is that her boss thinks that they over-stepped the mark on a few occasions (especially when she was talking about colleagues and taking "sickies") so they have now been removed. It's a real shame because it has led me to think about what I am writing and how it could effect other people. In all honesty I don't think there is anything that I have written that I would not admit to someone face-to-face, and I'm sure that "Dave's" would say...

Ughhhh 7:15 am!! I suppose I'm going to have to get used to waking up around this time but it's never easy - I'm a nightowl and I don't think that'll ever change. I took my parents to see the new house and they were impressed. My Mum is generally a touch pessimisitc at the best of times but she seemed to genuinely like the house and was quite enthusiastic about it in her way. I know this is a good sign because she dreads the thought that one of her babies (yes, she still considers us babies) will be living so far away and on his own!! My Dad was a useful asset too. He has worked in or around the building trade for the majority of his career so he was casting the surreptitious eye of experience on everything. Everything passed parental approval so now I just have to wait for the ball to start rolling. I also managed to buy the perfect gifts for my neice and nephew. Rhiannah got a Barbie horse to go with her Horse Riding Barbie and Jack got a ball which objec...
