SO GOOD

Well the Asus  Nexus is wrapped up ready for collection tomorrow between 09.00 am and 16.00 pm of course i will be up early just in case like you do.

Been reading about the American homeless person who received a diamond ring in his collection when a lady emptied her coin purse in to his cup , she had taken her ring off and forgot , when she realised what had happened she went back the homeless guy but he had already left for the day , she went back the following day and the homeless man was once again in his spot under bridge she asked if had found anything valuable in his cup he said he had and handed her the ring , she was so touched she posted the story on line and asked for donations to help the man out for his good gesture hoping to get around a $1000 they received  $150,000,  the ring was worth $4000  the money was given to  homeless guy can now afford to buy himself
a house and get off living on the streets for good , well it cheered me up.

Below is Billy Ray Harris the homeless man who's no longer without a home so Good be a film before you know it .Restores your faith in the world.

NO LONGER GREAT

MONDAY
Its cold and grey might even snow it was trying yesterday whilst we was in York but it was not laying and ended up more like sleet today feels colder and the skies greyer

Phoned Asus support up got through on the fourth attempt after so long you get disconnected and have to re call , i received a repair number and was given a site address to go to to fill out a form for the item details my contact details to arrange a collection for the Nexus .

The web address given was wrong but eventually i sussed it out when i typed the devices serial number it came back invalid back on the phone to Asus after three attempts i finally got the serial number sorted and sent the form i should hear something back via email within 48 hours.

Never know i might get a free upgrade to a 32gb instead of the 16gb model i have , i like Android and i like the Nexus i still want one and would still recommend one to people shit happens.

TUESDAY
Last night of working until two in the morning last twelve hour shift next week i have the week off so can chill out and relax and catch up with some sleep.

Got a email from Asus i have a  Rma number and its backed up  packed up ready to go , i am just waiting for a email with a pick up time and date , fingers crossed its supposed to be a seven day turn around.

My daughter lands in Manchester  airport on the 27th March at 11.20 am i have offered to pick her up .
She will have been gone just a year she be leaving paradise to come back here grey dull Yorkshire

It was on the local news a group of lads took a dog broke  its back legs , then  put a rope round its neck and dragged it in to a field , where they  tied it to a tree and to set it on fire , makes you fucking sick who wants to live in a shit hole like this with people who are not even half human , i pray what goes around comes back double.I think its about time that we dropped the Great from Great Britain .

DAY IN YORK

Went over to York just after dinner parked up by the river  we passed the York eye on the drive in it looked smaller than the one in Leeds town centre but they are mote then likely the same size.

The picture below is the Purple man he is a street mime artist he sits on his bike still until someone checks him out he then moves to prove he is not a statue , i don't know where he lives how he gets to the Shambles in York but he is there most days , what do the neighbour's say when he leaves for work what type of house does he live in what does he do on his days off , how much money does he get donated and how does he work his tax returns out what did he do before this has he ever had a regular nine to five job his he an eccentric millionaire ,

so in a week i have discovered a man with a cat called bob ,and  a man who looks after kangaroos , and a man who paints him self purple and  sits on a bike and does nothing all day , it be a hard choice to make if i had to swap life's with one of them , like hell it would be in the bush.



Meet up with my son and saw his girlfriend for the first time picked my son up first then we called for his girl , then we all  went back in to York about 10 miles away for something to eat we went  to Zizzi's a Italian restaurant Helen and i both  had Carbonara and some bread sticks which where freshly baked .
My sons girl is very sweet and polite she lives in Millington not too far from Pocklington , my son is moving to another village six miles away , my ex and her husband to be are selling up and renting a place guess more people are thinking like us cash the chips in and move elsewhere don't know how long we will have to wait to find a buyer i reckon end of summer we be packing fingers crossed.

BUSTED

Have totalled my Asus nexus 7 the screen is totally washed out i am going to phone Asus up Monday and see if i am covered under the warranty if not i might ask if they would fix it and bill me depending on how much it cost.if i have to buy a new one at least a small consolation is i can get a 32gb one for the same price i bought the original 16gb one.wont be until next month , it was my own fault it is nothing to do with the machine i put it in my back trouser pocket , as i was moving office and before i left i sat at my computer to check something out and i must have somehow bent the screen so it distorted it , but didn't crack it , even though it was in a sturdy wrap around case its totally busted .
I was gutted i have a lot of stuff on there films albums photos games etc etc  and i feel lost without it and i feel stupid for not having had  more respect for it , glad it was not the top of the range i-pad.

On a better note i got my camera plus my case back , i had pawned it and never went back for it , as it had not been sold  i bought it back it did not cost that much more than when i should have bought it back a extra ten quid ,  that was in  December and as i know its history seeing  i owned it from new . and the fact i have two 4 gb cards for it and  two lots of rechargeable batteries it is was silly not to buy it back especially as it is not the old.

Went to our favorite fish restaurant for dinner we had been in to town Helen bought some new Ugg boots and a leather bag form White Stuff , i nearly bought a bottle of Crystal head vodka it was £48 i was tempted but i didn't , and its still on my list to get , i got a 2.5 litre bottle of pear cider instead least my head wont be suffering in the morning..

Helen did a reading for a lady she didn't realise until she walked in to our house she had been viewing it the night before on line with the estate agents that we have it up with to sell , she thought it was fate spooky told Helen she should have said it was in the cards , the lady is coming back to view it Helen couldnt show her a round as the bedroom was a mess Helen is house proud some of the time , check it out here .http://www.vebra.com/property/805/23793266




Playing -  Dead Trigger ( well i was )

Watching -  part two "Kangaroo Dundee"  (part two)

Wanting - A working Tablet

Listening to - R.E.M "Around The Sun" (because i am depressed anyway)


ROO & BOB

Have been really tired getting to bed at nearly three am each morning and sleeping for five or six hours is taking its toll.
Have done nothing but work eat and sleep looking forward to Saturday morning two am and i can have a couple of days off , before the next two twelve hour shifts .

I have been watching a documentary on tv Kangaroo Dundee about a man living in the Australian outback near to Alice Springs, he lives in a tin shack in a compound that he built over a two and a half year period and he devotes his he looks after kangaroos who have been either injured or orphaned , he had to dig two and a half mile of trenching , dig out for over four hundred poles and erect steel mesh fencing to protect his herd , he feeds the joeys every four hours throughout the day and night , he works in a supermarket and washes buses for a local bus company to fund his life style , he has no toilet and no running water in his shack , he has devoted the last twenty years caring for these kangaroos and as a result of the documentary has received numerous marriage proposals and donations totalling £13,500 , he is a true hero and the kangaroo's respect love him as much as he loves them.



I have also been reading up on James Bowen he was a ex heroin making money for his next fix busking on the streets of London , he came across a ginger tom cat that had been attacked by either a dog or a urban fox , he adopted it paid the vet bill for the cats treatment ,   he named the cat Bob up and they are now inseparable , he takes the cat busking in the centre of London  with him and with the help of Bob his takings have tripled , he has withdrawn from using heroin and is now clean ,  he has written a book about his life with Bob and has so far  received £30,000 in royalties .


Two people the life's change for ever by being around and caring for animals both on the opposite side of the globe both would agree they life's will never be the same again makes you wonder.

FINGERS CROSSED

SUNDAY
Went for breakfast it was the best meal of the week by far , and i  couldn't finish what i had piled up on my plate there was plenty of onion potato gammon and cheese that got eaten , as always none of that got left it really makes the breakfast filling  all i need on top is beans and sausage,Its getting a routine now its so cheap we could not cook it ourselves for the price they charge.

Went to the Moors to Uppermill at Saddleworth looked at the estate agents Helen is convinced we can live there , who knows we will have to see what pans out , if we make forty thousand pounds that's around sixty two thousand dollars we would have enough to last us  for two to three years , that's  depending on the rent we have to pay and the weekly cost of living .

Living expenses obviously there would be food plenty of eggs for egg fried rice and omelet's cheese and onions along with  peppers mushroom and chicken and potato's we would have to be a on a limited spend each week and try to stay in budge
 ,Gas and electric hopefully this would be reduced as we be walking the moors most of the day specially in summer we be out the best part of the day and late in the evening

Would i have a car not sure if i packed my job in then no i wouldn't it be a expense we could not really afford the insurance and tax.

Mobile phone yes we both could not do with out a mobile phone after the contract was up i just get a pay as you go sim,

Internet who really this day and age could do without a Internet access it essential to our way of life as eating yes we would have to be online.

Once the money was gone if we had not secured jobs we would have to claim benefits until we gained employment this would be the last straw but we want to move for a different life to living in the city and its not about possessions its about a less stress full life

And i am sure .people have done lots more with less then what we will be starting out with the biggest decision and scariest  i have to make is do i try and carry on working and travel each day or resign from my job and take my chances if i was to continue to work which is the more likely ,   then yes ,i would need a car but my wage would cover the rent for our cottage or house and the expense of running the car form my monthly wage ,  i say its a good hours drive to and from work i start at two and finish at ten at night which in summer months would be no hassle the draw back is winter when it snows some of the roads are impassible maybe only for a few days but i would be snowed in.My thoughts are you always make it to work its getting home again or worse still only getting half way home then what.

MONDAY
We was up at eight Helen as an assessment to do if she is successful then she will be called in for a interview if she gets the job she will get a regular monthly salary ,  and this will result in us both having extra money to spend on the things we want which is always a good thing ,and  she will still do her readings either way.
It might mean we see less of each other through the week but we still have friday through to Monday and we can do more with the time we have go to more places on the coast and in the countryside guess it finding a balance what you have to do and what you need to do, so fingers crossed

ROUND IN CIRCLES

My Daughter is coming home after a year away she has only  another five weekends left in New Zealand then she flies back to the England , to her home city of  Leeds.I hope she some days returns to her travels and her days are not spent on the social without a job living in a crappy house or flat and reminiscing about her year spent abroad , i feel if she comes home she will regret it big time.

I went to work yesterday on my day off i got there at two in the afternoon i was suppose to do a twelve hour shift , at ten o clock a person came to take over who was not suppose to be turning up fcuking typical  i made the decision and went home ,  it cost me my day off and six hours overtime , but saying that  i was tired anyway ,  but was not impressed.At  least i got seven and a half hours overtime , and  i reckon could have stayed on  but didn't see the point in two of us being there.

I was suppose to be working nights for the week on the w/c 18th March found out yesterday it is the 18th of February which is this coming Monday , honestly if i did not need the money i would refuse to do it.

We had another viewing on the house today ,that's two Saturdays running , a lady came with her daughter and son to view it together they seemed impressed and said it was one of the nicer and better houses that they have viewed so fingers crossed all we need is one person to say yes cant be that hard .

Helen has a interview for a full time job on Monday so  fingers crossed she will get it ,  she has not had anyone for a reading for the last  few days ,  now she has two booked in for tonight that have confirmed by text  and three turning up tomorrow  ,we need these also  to turn up hopefully they will and we will have a influx of cash.


below is the observation wheel that travels the country it was in London for the Olympic games , it is currently in Leeds city center its £6.00 for a twelve minute ride , this is being promoted until April its close to where i work i will have to go on it not sure if its Helen's cup of tea it might be the only time that it is here in the city. We missed it when it was at Manchester and also at York we cant really not go when its in our city You can take a V.I.P pod capsule that has tinted windows and you get a bottle of champagne , its only been constructed a few days think i will give it a few weeks just  to make sure it stays on it's axis , pivot .some times it feels like i am  and my life is going round in circles now it will be.

UP THE REAR

I am working tomorrow on my day off , i will get seven and a half hours annual leave then thirteen hours at time and a half as i am working form midday Friday,  until two o clock Saturday morning ,tiring but worth it .

Someone went in to the back of  my car yesterday when i was out in the snow. My towing hook took the full impact of the driver behind me, his plastic bumper or fender  is no more. My tow hook got scratched ever so slightly , he was not amused he explained it was a mobility car , i explained that  he drove in to me and if it is  a mobility car they will fix it ,  seeing as there was no one injured it was pointless holding the traffic up further , with the snow there was cars wheel spinning and sliding all over and i was at the bottom of a hill , i thought it would be safer to get back in my car and drive off.

Helen fried some haddock fillets she whisked up some batter and the five filets were shallowed fried in the  frying pan we had them with hand cut chips , bread and butter , a cheap enough meal that was gorgeous , in the afternoon we had made a simple sponge cake with a butter cream filling fresh baked again gorgeous , Helen had a reading so we topped up on gas and electric.

Living like we do wouldn't suit everyone her son has been staying with us he is seventeen he likes it with us he likes the atmosphere and he likes that we chill and rarely argue with each other that we agree more than we disagree that we smile and laugh more times then we sad or down  , i think he thinks we are bohemians when really we are just trying to survive the best we can , next time round i am going to be minimalistic in the true sense of the word .

MORE SNOW

Its snowing again and its coming down pretty fast and its all white once again , if it gets too bad Helen's people she has booked in for readings are going to be staying in doors , if the snow gets deep it put people off travelling or even going out , i am off all week  when i go back i am doing five twelve hour shifts and i can take the car bliss happy days.

Be even happier when its warmer sunnier and we don't have to worry about the heating being on .
I dropped Liam Helen's son of at work a few miles away the snow is getting worse the road i have to go done is well busy the snow is going to be a nightmare and increase the traveling time there and back he was going to catch the bus i said we drop him of and pick him up typical good intentions always end up costing me , i should learn to keep my mouth shut.

I am only online due to the fact i am tethering using my i-phone didn't pay the Internet bill cant afford everything , some months if i get a crap wage and  its a struggle budgeting and something has to give , next month i have loads of extra overtime in should be my best wage in over a year , the month after should be a reasonable one as well.

I hope the person viewing our house Saturday puts in a offer it be time to sell up move out and move on.

BORING

Another boring day Helen did not get up rill after two this afternoon , might as well be at work cant do anything or buy anything or go anywhere half interesting at the moment its existing rather then living .
Someone has booked a viewing for the house on Saturday please someone buy it least will be out of Bramley not sure where but it wont be in this vicinity ,it want to live near the canal again no less than 500 metres away.

Downloaded all of the Terminator movies and the Matrix trilogy to watch as long as they are in avi format i can load them and  play them of my usb drive via my DVD player , other wise any other format i have to convert them if they are mp4 or mvk files i use Pazera free to convert them to avi files , one programme  for each file type and it takes around 30 mins , ages ago i use to rip compress and burn films that i hired on DVD format from Blockbusters , but I-Tunes , Netflix, and I Love Films have killed a lot of the trade for the DVD outlet shops , and i have not hired a film in over seven years .

We made pancakes cracked nine eggs put equal amount of milk to flour mix and fry in hot oil in the frying pan . Helen puts vinegar and sugar on hers don't ask me why its weird combination obvious she likes it she says its just like putting lemon and sugar on , i just  had Maple syrup on mine  , boring me i know,

Did a hour practicing my calligraphy, i reckon i have to practice one word in one style until its second nature if it takes days weeks or months even.

DREAMER

It was snowing last night we only had a few millimeters , now in the afternoon its looks like a summers day the sun is out and its shinning bright.
Helen as a interview for a job if she gets it she will be earning a regular income and life will be easier even if it only lasts until we sell the house , she needs things luxury items Ugg boots , leather bag ,a Pandora bracelet and charms and i need things mainly a  laptop and a half decent compact camera plus life would just be a lot easier if there was two regular guaranteed wages coming in at the end of each month.

Helen's youngest son Liam has been living with us for the last eight days , i don't think it will be permanent , it cant be if  we are selling the house.
He will at some stage will have to return to Helen's ex husband house or make the decision to  live independently ,he works but he does not earn anywhere enough to be totally financial independent , but i guess if him and a couple of good mates had the same notion it could be a possibility , he only works a few days a week for minimum wage as he is only seventeen.

I had a dream last night we was living near mountains with green hills and valleys in a small village somewhere in a place i did not recognise but it was idyllic , loads of work friends had come over to visit us and check out our home we were all sat out drinking and chatting and  they all was jealous of our life style , we were not rich as i  went to the off licence with a load of pound coins to buy beer i had the expression it was the last of our money but regardless we were very happy and they was  feed up that they lived in the city,sometimes dreams seem so real its a shame to leave them .

I have not had a omelet for a few days now and i am hungry , i need food in a hurry  its just after one in the afternoon i was up at half past nine and so far have just had three cups of coffee i keep having visions of my omelet cooking in the frying pan guess i need to make this a reality before my stomach thinks my throat's been cut.

R.E.M & R.I.P

Saturday
Mr Zeek called round to view the house with his girlfriend they where only about mid twenties and looked very impressed with the house whether this will translate in to them buying our we will have to see.He was already planing on taking a wall out to have one massive room.
So could he be the one that connects the dots and makes us sell up move on and start again it will happen , but the question is when.

Went to look at Laptops in the White Rose shopping center in Leeds ,  Asus is also looking a good buy and its cheaper than the Samsung , the processor is not as good spec as the Samsung and not much more than a pair of Ugg boots Helen was looking at.

Sunday
very lazy did not get up until twelve plan on doing nothing , its forecast to snow don't think it will three foot if it is England will come to a halt.

Well off all next week might have to work the Friday but  will get paid 7,5 hours holiday pay because i am on annual leave and another  13 hours at time and a half , i am working twelve o clock midday  until 2 o clock the following Saturday morning , this happens with another two days i have off annual leave , that's nearly two weeks wages for working three days cant refuse plus free parking its a no brainer.

Chatting with my daughter via Facebook will skype her on Tuesday morning.

Watching David Attenborough's  Africa got all six episodes to watch we both like natural history might make the house feel warmer while we watch it.



Craving - New Laptop.

Wanting -  Pear cider ,as its been while.

Needing - a fix of chocolate fudge cake and pouring cream.

Listening to - R.e.m - "Around The Sun" and "Collapse Into Now" and "Greatest Hits"

Finishing - Reading Chris Kyle "American Sniper " (You  have done the world a great service , we all owe you more than words can say , R.I.P Forever)

TIRED OUT

Monday
Totally tired its been a shit start to the week ,i have got to stay at work until two and  I had enough by  six.
I wanted to get in my car and go home I have had enough of trying to cover jobs because of sickness and annual leave , its a managers job so why leave it to me.its like locking the stable door after the fcuking horse as gone.Why cant I have a job I love a job where its exciting well paid and a half decent environment a decent canteen and at least a few perks and chance of promotion a company car and travelling.
Arrived home my tea supper was in the microwave Helen was in bed it was nearly half past two in the morning , I nuked the food  steak pie potatoes peas and Yorkshire puddings,
then i went to bed another fun day in the life of Bob.

Tuesday
Got up at eleven another two hours I will be back at work same shit different day , life goes on  we have a viewing for the house this coming Saturday hopefully a offer will follow and we can up root and start again debt free and With money in the bank not too much to ask for is it.

BACK TO WORK ONCE MORE

We did not go to bed until four in the morning playing stupid online games via facebook , we still got up at half past eight to go for breakfast at 11TH Earl we  totally pigged out i more than Helen ,i  had three sausages four rashers of bacon loads of baked beans and gammon and potatoes with onion and cheese , by not having a drink of coffee it was way too weak last time it was like dishwater ,  its pre-made in a peculator by not having a hot drink it saved me £2.00 so breakfast for me was only £3.99 .on the way home we went to buy milk and biscuits double packet of  Nice and two packets of malted milk , we then we went home and went back to bed we got up just after three in the afternoon it was a waste of a day off really we should be more disciplined and go to bed at a reasonable hour the trouble was we were not tired .

Helen has a reading booked in for six tonight , and all i plan on doing is having a hot bath having tea then maybe just go to be for a early night , if that's at tall possible .

I had a pear today and a tangerine the other day i have not had a pear for ages i use to eat a kiwi every day i should eat more fruit roll on summer will get loads of fresh fruit in winter all you want is stem , pies and curries .

Work tomorrow going back after a break does not phase me , i have only to work another five days then i have another nine days of sometimes work breaks the monotony of life and gives purpose and reason . being of work is ok if you can go places and spend money , eat out go for drinks and go shopping for goodies , like a speaker for my i-phone and Google that i can carry in my bag for work , a Leatherman knife , A Lamy safari fountain pen , a new Moleskin note book , a Diary and a Filofax , i need a new silver chain i broke the one i wore for the last five years , not sure why but i fancy a small silver skull ring Keith Richards and Mr  Johnny Depp wear them ,



 In 1978 the celebrated London goldsmiths David Courts and Bill Hackett were working on a small scale silver sculpture of a human skeleton. Using a real skull for reference they carved a perfect miniature replica which they then moulded. When the hollow wax skull was removed from its mould the inspiration for the ring was born. Further experimentation led to the creation of the original silver skull ring. At the same time an invitation arrived from Keith Richards to his birthday party in New York – so Bill and David decided that the new ring would make a fantastic present. From the moment he put it on his finger, the magic began and he has worn it ever since

20:15
Not had anything to eat since breakfast i am not starving but think i need to ea some food  before i  go to bed .

21.05
cooked another omelet its easy i like them they are quick tasty filling and i have all the ingredients and its only cooking using one ring and one pan , i have also on the  plus side a bottle of Budweiser not as good as a bottle of pear but at least its alcoholic beverage could be colder .

21.21 
Helen is now cooking a omelet , monkey see monkey do , or rather monkey smells monkey wants food i did offer she don't trust me she thinks she the better cook.



Listening to The Weeknd  "Echoes of Silence"and "House of Balloon's"

IN THE PIC

its after midnight so i guess its the start of the weekend Helen is playing bejeweled blitz on facebook after playing candy crush and  the dog is amusing itself its playing with a rubber hoop and tennis ball she holds the hoop in her mouth and flicks the tennis ball all over the room she will bring it to me and i will kick it she will play this for hours.
I have just cooked a omelette with mixed  peppers, onion, ham, and red Leicester cheese only takes around  ten minutes to prepare and cook but less time  to eat it , i just had it on its own no chips this is me being healthy Helen did not want one but did comment on how nice it smelled whilst it was cooking  ,i checked the Euro lottery all we got was one star pathetic just have to keep on trying , i guess if we deserve a win we will get one ,one day or maybe never a small win would be appreciated .



Its going to be Valentines day soon i have the whole week off will be skint so i cant see us doing a great deal  plus the weather wont be that great , i go back to work this coming Monday but  only for a week then its another nine days of and chill out time once again, after this week's break i will still have another  two weeks leave to take , then its the start of the new financial year  and will  i get over six weeks annual leave credited to me.

Today we went to the cobblers in Pudsey they are a dying breed Helen bought some boots and they are too tight they where reduced by £150 she got them a few weeks ago from All Saints there is a spray that stretches the leather you spray inside the boot and wear the boot or shoe for ten minutes and it will stretch the leather the spray was £3 ,  to put them on his mechanical stretcher cost £5 we paid for both . we will pick them up Monday hopefully they will fit.

Rest of the day crap was gone before it started Helen did not get up until around twelve she had a reading tonight i have seven psychopath's to watch to try and start reading a John Lennon biography and listen to Jake Bugg a English guitar song writer who went on tour as support for Oasis another great English band from Manchester.

19:15
I have not practised any calligraphy today i did last night one thing i have noticed its easy to miss letters out of words , if its some fancy script i am using your eyes don't always pick up on misspellings , if you could see how many errors spell checker finds on here guess its no big  surprise .

21.00
Just went to the shop bought gas and electric its bitter cold outside although at one stage today it was sunny and quite warm , didn't last next week its supposed to get even colder. we have decided to go for breakfast tomorrow and totally pig out i am going to make sure i eat enough that will last me till early evening hopefully it will be relatively empty last time i went i took sausages home for Pip.

22.00 
just made a coffee going to watch a film not that tired but we might go to bed before one am tonight this morning whatever time it will be warmer in bed .

A photography friend took the picture today at Whitby ,  a fishing village on Yorkshire's east coast , somewhere we have been to a few times over the years and will go to again soon , as there is a great fish restaurant there called the Magpie .
Download the picture below and  zoom in and see the ghostly apparition , the back streets are hundreds of years old.
  Bram Stoker stayed Whitby in 1890 and discovered the name Dracula , Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens also stayed in the fishing village and a monastery was founded in ad 657 ,one of the very first photographers also lived in Whitby he was the iconic photographer Frank Meadow Sutcliffe who recoded life in the fishing port he also did portraits and recorded pictures of the churches and Abbeys on Yorkshire coastline  through his camera , using 15 inch by 12 inch glass pane he died at the age of 87 in 1941 ,if your interested in the history of photography you will know all about this great gentleman.

WRITING THIS AND THAT

THURSDAY
The postman left a card telling me to pick up my package from collection office why  don't you just knock on the Fcuking door and i will open it and take my package from you retard, guessing it is my power lead for laptop as the office shuts at midday i will have to go in the morning and collect it.

12.30p.m
We both went to Louise's Hair salon our good friend for a hair cut Helen has her hair dyed blonde , so i go first it takes all of five minutes then i leave , then i will return to pick Helen up in a few hours so it is chill out time.

I saw my camera in cash converters i know its mine i can pay a deposit and buy it back when i get paid next or do i leave it and get a totally  new camera will sleep on it it works out cheaper than getting a new camera .

Been practicing my calligraphy writing set i have to draw it out in pencil first its too hard to do it all free hand and to get it right first time , but it is improving gradually i am using Vivaldi font which i have on office 2007 Old English is hard i have done a few letters i really want to learn Black Letter but a step at a time , i am watching a book on Ebay its Calligraphy for Dummies should be more than suitable then , i have posted a picture o the lettering this is my first attempt its bad i know but i am not pretending otherwise but hopefully i will get better.Also i have downloaded new fonts which i have installed on Microsoft office 2007
