ANOTHER WEEKEND GONE

Friday
Half three in the morning we are on our way to A&E Helen's heart is racing again we are in four hours before being sent home , I get four hours sleep before I go to work , i was bitching and i was  not happy ,and as always they do nothing apart from the normal ECG and blood test and we go home.
Five hours later i am at work totally cream crackered.
best thing about the day i get a diner kebab on the drive home after i finish work at ten .

Saturday
Went to Trafford Centre at Manchester i took some of the ps3 games back to Game the two Batman's and  Tomb raider "Underworld"  which is full of bugs , to trade in against  "GTA 5" it is awesome i would like to get next on my wish list is "Battlefield 4" and "Watch dogs".
The Christmas lights was switched on tonight the main streets of Holmfirth they  are all now light up for the festive season most of the shops have Christmas trees above their door ways it is very magical it will be the first Christmas i have not spent in Leeds hopefully its a special  one.
bought some more after shave whilst out shopping a bottle of  Joop Homme Wild and a bottle of Davidoff Game both in sprays both under thirty pounds might wear them together one on each side of my neck just to confuse people thats how i tested them and it smelt good .

Helen had a reading a woman came from Huddersfield came a mean feat in the cold and dark specially because we are not easy to reach some of the roads are steep narrow and intimidating for some ,  i went upstairs with Pip and we fell asleep on the bed whilst the lady had her cards read.

Sunday
Went to Toby carvery for breakfast just after nine this morning , we found one not too far from were we live ages ago when we first moved here , but have only just bothered about going it was no worse or no better than the 11th Earl we used to frequent in Leeds.

Went to a garden centre on Huddersfield road and bought some artificial candles that feel like and look like real candles except they are battery powered , also bought some freshly made scones for tea.

The weekend as gone too fast once again it is Monday looming fast another mundane week at work  .

SNOWS HERE

Monday
Fish are dying we have had five die last night making a total of seven dead  since the weekend fingers crossed we loose no more , we need more fish might try a breed we have not had before .
Took Pip out this morning it was cold the grass was white with frost and it was the coldest morning so far can't wait until it snows as long as I can get to work saying that being snowed in for a few days would be good.
Might load up Assassins creed as tomb raider underworld is full of bugs there is loads and it's annoying I have made more progress but it is just getting irritating .
Picked up a kebab met pizza and large fries it was bland should have for chilli's on it a jalapeƱos it was late cold I was tired looking forward to getting home and was not thinking.
Trying to get Christmas week of not sure if I can only trouble with working in hospitals some people don't get to go home.

Tuesday
it snowed this evening for the first time since summer , but  it was way too wet to lay and settle but cars were passing that had the dreaded white stuff on the roof and rear windows etc , so snow is defiantly coming our way just how bad not sure , thing is it won't have to be that bad for us to get snowed in and for me not be able to make it in to work .

I am hoping for a nice quite relaxing weekend hopefully go the Chinese at Uppermill again 0n Sunday evening and maybe nip out to get more fish for our bedroom aquarium .

Went to Kobe restaurant in Horsforth it was Helen's son birthday we went for a celebration meal we had linguine carbonara with bacon and chicken sides of  onion rings and for a change a bowl of  sweet potato fries the meal was excellent the service was slow there was seven of us crammed in to a both and it was way too cramp too hot and uncomfortable i was glad when we got outside in the cold nights air .



Sunday
we bought another fish tank for the bedroom 40 litres , one tank is just going to be for Discuss fish all the other fish  are going in the new tank and are now on the dresser in our bedroom Helen's cousin Sharon  is collecting two orange discuss fish for us and they are only ten pounds for the pair , we was going to get four but they only have two ready.
We got both tanks set up heaters and filters working both blue and white lights working all ready to rock and roll and all the fish are swimming around happy.



Early evening just as it was getting dusk  we went to Uppermill Saddleworth to a Chinese take away restaurant "Hei Hei "it was one of the nicest meals i have had in a while the chicken and sweet corn soup was excellent spring rolls super and the duck curry noodles and fries cooked to perfection .

WHERE I LIVE

All of these pictures are a few yards from my cottage all are unique all different .


Front and side elevation of the white cottage .


The house below is 1.2 million pounds should you fancy a detached five bedroom stone built home.
The interior is not to my taste I be knocking walls down and creating bigger spaces.


High point of my walk taken with my Fuji finepix. 


Zooming in the  same position high up on the road half mile away from where I live.


Roof tops and chimney pots  of Holmfirth 


Yorkshire stone slate roof gets better with age.


Another mill  chimney just  left of center 


Love this white cottage rear photograph it has been mortilised on the "Last of the summer wine"


There is loads more photos at on point you can zoom in to the town center we are so high up there are houses above and below on different roads and streets .

NOT WORKING

Helen had to go to the doctors again with her anxiety and panic attacks it causes many symptoms including breathing problems , the only appointment we could get was at twenty five past four .
seeing as i don't start work until four it meant i did not go , not sure if it went down well with my managers but i had little choice.
After the doctors we went for fish and chips to Compo's cafe then drove over to Uppermill to do the lottery and get cigarettes.
I have to go to work tomorrow Helen does not want me to she like it if i never left her side and never went to work in Leeds , i don't think we could survive on the dole be too difficult it would be nice but not at all realistic.
Still playing Tomb Raider "Underworld" there is quite a few bugs in it but so far so good i did down load a walkthrough as some of the climbs you need to do , need a lot of figuring out mainly where to start each climb .

Watching -  "2 Guns " and "Trance"
