Call Me Spontaneous

I went into town today with the intention of getting some shopping in Icelands and just generally looking around. I went and saw my daughter Bexster and my son turned up with my grand daughter Destiny which was lovely as I hadn't seen her since Christmas. Afterwards, I  did my shopping and bought some hair dye in Boots, that new 10 minute jobby from L'Oreal. Then I was spontaneous....................I got my NOSE pierced hehehe. Don't ask me why. Him indoors gave me 20 quid to spend on myself and getting my nose pierced seemed like a good idea. Ok, most people walk past a tattoist, but I looked and got pierced. I like it. It's nice and dainty. After the six weeks of healing I would like to get a nice purple nose stud to go with the cherry brown hair lol.

Him indoors took the photo, excuse me looking a mess, no makeup lol.

I then went to my friends who helped me dye my hair. The colour does not show up well in the photo. It is very reddy brown.

Him and I went back into town when he got home from work and went to the Rainbow for dinner and then we played a round of Adventure Golf. It's like crazy golf. So, for me that was a lovely day as I'm usually holed up indoors. The weather was beautiful, so all in all a very nice productive way.

P.S
Him indoors think I got my nose pierced because of a mid life crisis hahaha.

Medical

Went for my pre operation medical this afternoon. They now do MRSA swabs on you. One up the nose and one for the back of the throat, ugh! Tastes and smells horrible lol. They said I wasn't pencilled in for a date yet but should be within the next few weeks.

 

The weather is beautiful today. Nearly blue skies and lots of sunshine. I hope it is like this over the weekend!

Day Tripping to Greenwich.

I had a nice lazy weekend. Actually most of my days seem too leisurely lately, hence why I am having problems blogging as I don't have anything to say!

Mind you, tomorrow I have my medical assessment prior to my hospital admission which I am hoping won't be too far away now.

On a brighter note, I completely forgot that we are going to the Royal Obersevatory at Greenwich on Saturday and we also booked for the Planatarium. We went to Greenwich a couple of years back just weeks before the Cutty Sark became a pile of ashes. We didnt do the Planatarium then, but we had a splendid day and a lovely picnic in the park. I really do hope the weather is nice for it. We are going with our Astronomy club so the cost is very minimal. We only have to pay a tenner each for the coach and entry for the Planatarium. I am hoping we have time to also visit the Maritime Musuem again as well as I did enjoy looking round there.

Mother in Law to be (maybe one day! lol), has also suggested we go to Kew Gardens this year. I have never been and am looking forward to it. Also it will allow me to try and get some really good pictures as my photography has all but fizzled out  lately.

 

Email Blogging

Just trying this out to see what happens and if it comes through ok.

 

A Celebration of Life.

Yesterday, I attended the Memorial Service for my BIL you passed away on the 8th of April. It was a thanksgiving of his life. We walked into the church with Bohemain Rhapsody playing, one of Tony's favaurite songs. Also played was Son of Man by Phil Collins, Bond Girls Explosive and Power and Passion by Midnight Oil. The service was very nice and after saying The Lords Prayer, we departed the church to Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield.

We went on to a pub for a few drinkies. It was nice to see the family. I wasn't thinking though, and sank a few large glasses of wine, which wouldnt necessarily be a problem, but it was because I had only had one cup of coffee and a couple of Weetabix all day. My beloved came to pick us up and it took a long time to get home. Why was that you may ask? Because I was hanging out the door of the car with only the seat belt stopping me from going out head first whilst I puked my guts up. My gawd, was I sick. It was all the wine coming back up lol. I was a good hour like that as I couldn't move. Everytime I moved my head I felt worse. So I did the only viable thing in this kind of situation and passed out for around 10 minutes, woke back up, puked again and then passed out in the seat again. Him Indoors managed to lay me down and drive home where I puked again and passed out till 11pm. I felt marginally better when I woke up and we got a takeaway, a prawn kebab as I desperatly needed to eat and then I went to bed and didnt get up till 1pm today. I look like hell lol. So the morale of the story is dont drink on an empty stomach and quite frankly I should of known better take time out to eat if you drink lol.

Worth Watching

It's been a nice Easter Sunday. My younger daughter Kim came round with my two grandsons for a while and to pick up their Easter eggs. The twins have enough chocolate to last them ages! I also got two eggs even though I'm on a diet and I have ate one already hehehe.

We watched the 3rd instalment of Red Dwarf, Back to Earth, and I did enjoy it. Him Indoors and the twins enjoyed watching it too. We aslo watched the rerun of Saturdays Primeval tonight as it clashed with Dr Who. All good fun and escapism no matter how many people pan it.........each to their own after all. And why knock it because it does not smack of reality....................duh, it's a TV show not a documentary! It's for entertainment and it entertains my family and thats a good thing in my book. Lifes too short to moan about anything and everything, if your going to moan then make it about something worth while ie why so many children are living in poverty............now thats something worth moaning about! (Even though it's a profound subject.)

I hope everyone is having a nice long extended weekend!

Nice Day

Had a nice day today. We had our grandson Rylee and took him and the twins down to The Rainbow for dinner as it was Michaels birthday, who is the owner and my daughter Beckys partner. We took him a nice choccy birthday cake and cards and chocolates as well as Easter eggs for Sunday lol.

I bought Rylee a Ninky Nonk book in Waterstones. All I know is that Ninky Nonk is a character from a small kids TV programme lol. So we sat in The Rainbow taking turns at reading Rylee's book to him lol much to the amusement of other diners.

We took Rylee home and we all sat down and watched The Quantum of Solace. Not quite sure of Daniel Craig as Bond as I really like Connery and Brosnan as Bond but I'm sure I will get used to Craig. I did like the film though and now we want to see Casino Royale as well.

After, we watched the brand new Red Dwarf, Back to Earth. I was looking forward to it with trepidation as I'm a huge Dwarf fan. I thought the episode was lacking something but I will continue to watch on Saturday and Sunday.
Him Indoors, hadn't seen Ghost Rider with Nicholas Cage so we sat and watched that as well.........I like the film hehehe and Him Indoors enjoyed it as well.
