Was up just after nine this morning , and we are planing on going in to Leeds city centre and buying a guitar for Helen's Christmas present , i bet it will be busy as everyone gets paid at the end of the month , but its very cold but saying that at least the car is clear of ice and i can get in and drive off with out freezing my fingers of scrapping the windscreen like yesterday the sun is putting in an appearance so sods law that tonight will be colder.
Not had any earth shattering news from my daughter she is keeping a low profile she moved in to her new place the previous Monday yet she has not bothered to post any photos on face book and she has nor skyped me , she has pasted a few things on Facebook but nothing saying what she is up to our if she is ok .
one of the nicest things is wearing new socks , new under wear and new jeans i have my new Jack Jones jeans on and they feel good and have that new jeans smell.
We picked my Nephew Mark up he is an insomniac and he was outside waiting as we pulled up he was our advisor on guitars and what not to buy , Helen only criteria was that it was black and had six strings .
We ended up going to a shop out of town having looked in three possible shops in the city centre , we ended up buying a black Yamaha electric acoustic for £266 we got a padded case thrown in it has a really nice sound Helen bought a stand for it , and i will get her a leather strap , she wanted to play it but its to go to Santa.
On the way home we called at McDonald's got a winter warmer burger surprisingly good ,with large fries and best yet a banana milk shake.
Sunday
went to our favorite restaurant for breakfast and it turned out to be the worse food we have had there even the coffee was not up to scratch , mentioning scratch my car had been keyed through the night by some low life tosser , after breakfast i went to a hand car wash to get all the grime off then i bought some black touch up crayon and some black wax its not an invisible repair but its better than it was.
My calligraphy pen came yesterday and i had a write with it just jotting down words writing my name i am quite impressed with it might get the next size down the one i have is a 3.5 mm nib the one next size down is a 2.4 mm i also ordered another twelve black cartridges , i will order some different colour inks once i have mastered the basics .
