Off to see the wizard...well Ditt anyway....
Yes, i write to you on th eve. of my mini adventure to Chester. I leave tomorrow afternoon to go to Chester to see Ruth (an old friend), Ditt (you all know who he is!), and Vicky (if she manages to actually get there!!). So yes, should be fun to meet up again. Even if it isn't everyone!
My train leaves at 13.14, so i shall be around til then. Today i finished painting the door which i had varnished. And it looks fantastic! A satisfying two days work! Now back to the idleness for another week or so! lol. This is the life for me. Short spouts of activity surrounded by oceans of nothingness. Wait a minute...this is beginning to sound like Andy's blog...oh dear!
Oooh also watched the amazing film that is 12 Monkeys tonight. Awesome film and brilliant acting from Brad Pitt. Wow...i really should work for a film advertising company!
Thought for the Day: COME TO CHESTER!!!

Keep the Aspidistra Flying
I must admit, my heart did sink a little when i was outvoted by the rest of my family, and hence forced to watch the aforementioned film, based on a book by George Orwell. Yes i was being very prejudiced and i soon learnt the error in my ways. The film was fantastic and well worth a watch. Highly recommend it to all readers...very interesting themes of class boundary and social goals, mixed with some good humour.
Here ends my outrageous plug...Tomorrow i am varnishing doors! Yes that's right seeing as i have nothing else to do, i shall be varnishing church doors with Katherine's brother Edd. Alas this means i must get to bed at a reasonable time, to be up and running for a 9.30 start! This will be i think my second earliest morning in the last 2 weeks, but still not a patch on 4.30am, whilst i was working at the Great Yorkshire Show. So finally i have something useful and constructive to do with some of my time!

M is for Monday
Hello world. It seems like ages since i last posted, but in reality its only a few days! And the world does not seem to have collapsed or even stop turning. Alas i fear that people do not miss my blogging! Either that or they are all busy having lives! Anyway i shall plough on regardless.
Sunday was a beach day. I spent the whole day 'sunning' myself in Filey, and swimming in the sea-which was a soaring 15 degrees! Though after you got numb it was ok because you couldn't feel it anyway! Had fish 'n' chips in the evening to round off the day and then drove back, arriving home tired and happy at about 10ish. Altogether a ost enjoyable day!
Today was far less interesting though i did go out for a meal with Katherine and two old friends this evening. Was good to catch up, and had an amusing and enjoyable time.
Then i watched the news...big mistake. I do not want to rant again, for the sake of all readers, but i struggled to watch news of red cross vans being hit in lebannon, of USA 'diplomats' lying and pretending to care about something other than themselves, and then considered the apathy of 59 million people in the UK alone, towards anything that does not affect them.
Thought for the Day: Can we really afford not to care?
