SEATED

SUNDAY
Paul Weller ,Roxy Music Kings of Leon , David Bowie , Stone Roses , Linkin  Park and James are some of other albums added added to the iPod over four thousand different tracks it's not even a quarter full Apple should bring out a updated version of the classic because for Apple in this case
bigger is better.

We went to Ikea I know what your thinking mad person bought specially on a Sunday we bought a new king size quilt cover and four pillow case and some new covers for the cushions on the settee.  they was also  was selling 13amp plug in adapters which allows you to charge three usb devices simultaneously , that's the  iPad iPod iPhone sorted should they ever run out all at the same time  .

I also bought a dining table with drop leafs and two wooden painted grey  chairs and some tie on cushions .
 its the first time we have had a table in the cottage since moving in two years ago we have put it in the corner by the front window you can see all the flowers in the pots on the outside wall looks very English country garden .It took around twenty minutes to assemble the chairs together  and around fifty minutes to do the table with sliding drawer it was worth it eve if it was around ten at night when i started .

We had been out for Sunday dinner at the fleece in Holme and Helen had a half past seven reading which lasted way longer then i had to drive to the 24hour garage fifteen minutes away hence the late start.

MONDAY
Went to Sainsbury bought some matching pasta bowls , desert bowls and side plates to match the white and blue dining plates that we bought last week , we also bought some rattan place mats and cup mats   , and and few tea towels and a pair of oven gloves that are also follow the blue and white theme .
Waiting for the weekend its like being a teenager once again.

EVERY SONG A DIFFERENT BAND

FRIDAY
I bought some new Emma Bridgewater big love and  lots of love  tea towels which matches the blue and white set of four mugs  i also bought in the starry skies design .
I also added a matching  bunting also for the kitchen area .Helen had bought also buy Emma Bridgewater a biscuit tin and a coffee , sugar , and tea tins in the same design , which was delivered today also from eBay .

SATURDAY
The iPod was delivered but we was going out so i could not rest it and load it with songs until i got back in the evening .
We went in to Leeds city centre i bought a pair of royal navy blue Adidas trainers my last trainers was also Adidas i was thinking of getting some Nikes but they cost more just for the little tick.

Bought Helen a 38mm space grey Apple watch and paid for a white band it is quite good better than i thought it would be not much good if you don't have a iPhone , i don't know if i want one to be honest  we are not allowed to wear  any wrist watch at work which defeats the point really .

Went to the Aire bar on the outskirts of town  i use to go there with Helen we meet up each dinner time when i was working  at the council.
 We meet on the bridge lower down then walk up to the bar and go and sit on the balcony over looking the river Aire  with a Magners for my hour or so dinner break .

It was hot we was sitting inside the bar but got a table after waiting around  fifteen minutes outside on over looking the river .
Helen's son Liam came to meet us we had burgers made with real steak i had mine with pulled pork very nice very filling .

Factory reset the iPod and loaded it with albums from Linkin park and Def Leppard to Stevie Wonder and Madoona and Rollin Stones to Mumford and Sons and another two hundred or so albums I will put more on today there is 140 gab left , it plays perfect and the player is more or less scratch free it's nice and well worth the price I paid. It's set to shuffle brilliant every song an unexpected surprise and it all blends in perfect .

OK

If you put a smutty title to your blog post and  you will see you get loads more hits or visits some weird and strange and wonderful people out there lol .

Waiting for my 160 gb iPod to be delivered hopefully by tomorrow i ordered a black leather case from ebay to house it in and that arrived today , the Apple music player should be here by tomorrow fingers crossed not sure if the seller as got of his or her arse and posted ,  it even though paid for it last Thursday hours after i won the item . i also ordered a new case for my iPhone 5s also in black to match my iPad mini , The  black carbon fibre iPhone case also came the day after it holds two bank or credit cards and it also  has a bank note slot behind the card holders .

The weather picked up yesterday but today its back to normal i doubt we are going to have a decent summer which is depressing .

Had my yearly appraisal at work yesterday it was very good , i was told i had improved immensely from the previous year. I told my manageress i had done nothing different from years previous .She was adamant i had come on leaps and bounds , i still argued that  i was doing OK but doing  nothing different from last year , but in the end i said wouldn't argue and if she and others saw it that way then fine .

SOUND BUY

Listening to Snow Patrol - "Greatest Hits".

BIRD DOG.

We have booked Pip our Jack Russell in for a trim wash nails doing and teeth doing we dropped her of this morning at nine o clock ,  i hope she is ok she when we pick her up she can get quite nervous and withdrawn fingers crossed she likes her morning of doggy pampering.
When we picked her up she looked liked  she did when she was a small pup she looks a lot better with her coat scissored cut instead of her being clipped , if they are clipped then  the coat tends to grow back thicker.

When we went to pick her up just after one this afternoon they was an amazing parrot perched on the railing outside it was the owners of the dog salon it never flies away apparently it was in the shower earlier and was out side getting some rays .

I finish my course of prescribed antibiotics today after two weeks , but i  guess i will  be good and wait until Friday before having a bottle of ice cold Kopparberg pear cider  , i might even wait until Saturday.
We might have our once a year barbie depending on the weather since i got poorly i have not eaten any chicken so i am going to get some lamb and steak instead that's if the weather is still good .

R.I.P  Christopher Lee you was a superstar you are now a legend  .

PRESS THE BUTTON FOOL

MONDAY
Got my first item of Amazon the Swees 25500 mah power bank i got it before dinner time i only order it on Saturday late morning incredibly fast.
I charged it up to the maximum when all four of the charging lights were light i unplugged it from the mains and plugged in my iPad nothing happened i tried all of the three ports nothing , tried my phone nothing i tried swapping lighting cables nothing.
I emailed the manufactures for a refund.They sent me an email and  i have to print out the packaging labels to send it back and find a drop off point after doing all that , when i was putting it away in the box i saw a small button on the side of the power bank and  hey presto once you plug your device in  that needs charging and press the button on the sides  it charges it fool   , what a idiot i am  i feel a right nerd .
To cheer myself up , any excuse for a ruby , i bought myself a Mumtaz lamb kahari curry and a basmati rice for my dinner before going to work at half past twelve .

Hate Mondays and hate work i have decided that the best two things about my job is payday and home time .

TUESDAY
I need more white T-shirts from Primark at £2.99 a throw they are excellent buys i can no longer wear black with the cat and dog hairs show up too easy on black.

Bought a tube of tortilla Pringles for when i get home tonight ,  i could not decide what i wanted to eat i was contemplating a stuffed crust pizza as i have some chorizo in the fridge but  i am still not trying to have a full blown meal on a night and so far so good , but  some nights are harder than others .

Helens  book i ordered is winging its way to her and also my ear phones are on the way to me i think her book will arrive first , by the dates given.

Reading "A Girl On A Train " by Paula Hawkins .

SUNNY AFTERNOON IN THE SUMMERTIME

Today I went to York with Helen and Erin getting there just after one , after walking up the river Ouse we went for lunch to the "Slug & Lettuce " i had a slow cooked beef pie with sweet potato chips , Helen had fish cakes and Erin a chicken skewer the food was pretty good and the service ok it is directly by the river then follow the stairs  on to Bridge Street turn right and it is  is there .

We spent a few hours in York i bought some white chocolate and raspberry fudge which is way too addictive  ,in the afternoon we went to Costa coffee and i had a tropical fruit drink it was a lot  like a frappuccino but not as bad for the brain freeze ,

After leaving York we drove over to see Helen's son Kris and his girlfriend Jenna they moved in to there home just before last Christmas and we had not seen them since we stayed an hour and half  after  leaving them we went to a very nice country pub for evening food "The Foxglove " nice interior and very nice grounds .
 I was not that hungry so i had a starter for my main course which was the lamb Kofftas kebabs   , Helen had steak and Erin had the hunters chicken , Erin gave me some of her onion rings and garlic mushrooms Helen gave me some of her hand cut chips so it was like having a main course after all .

UP TO PRESS

Went back to work Tuesday it was the longest shift ever i was so glad when it was over .
Even the drive home seem to take for ages , i actually went to bed after half an hour of getting home , i was that tired .

I had 385 unread emails to go through a lot i just deleted , i had my return to work interview which was ok , and i had forgotten my password to log on to my pc so i had to phone the I.T. dept to reset it a pain.

I really need to pack work in , i have decided it is not for me , if only it was a possibility instead of a dream .
Work was a little bit better Wednesday but not buy much not been eating when I get her me on a evening hopefully I can continue this .

Looking forward to the weekend might even get to the coast and get some fish and chips , sea air  and a walk in the sea specially if we go to Robin Hoods Bay .

I cant wait for Friday to come i feel like booking a fortnights annual leave i might book some for end of July first week in August .

FRIDAY
Euro lottery is £72 million i have bought four tickets and Helen has bought one if only be  a total life changer , not only for us but for others we know .

SATURDAY
The Euro millions was not won it is now standing at £82 million next draw is on Tuesday .
Bought a pair of Mrice E300 ear phones from Amazon. They cost me only  £14.99 ,  i got them because they had a great review and write up on Wired they are claiming that they are better or as good as ones costing ten times as much so on that basis i bought a pair , get them in around ten days

I also bought from Amazon a Sweex 25600 mAh usb power bank for £26 ,  it will basically charge your i phone ten times so it would easily charge from flat , mine and Helen's iPads and phones if we was away for the weekend .
And the paper back book "A slice of jam and bread " by Tommy Rattigan it is to do with the moors murderers Myra Hindley and Ian Brady .I bought it for Helen i will read it after her although i prefer it on ebook.

I also bought three new T-shirts from Fat Face i need decent T-shirts if i am going out anywhere half decent.

Watching -  "Run All Night"

GOING BACK

SUNDAY
Picked my son up from his some in Skirpenbeck just after half past nine i then  drove him over to Leeds to pick his new car ,  its a lot better than the last Corsa he bought saying that its a lot more expensive . it is a nice looking VRX  in electric blue  i think it is around 148 bhp 1.6L turbo so it should be very nippy , i hope he avoids the speeding cameras and other cars other wise its going to be a short lived hobby .

MONDAY
Took Helen to see the heart specialist nothing more was said then last time it is not life threatening she can take beta blockers each day or have an ablation done under local anaesthetic where a wire is threaded up through her vain via her leg take about an hour fifteen minutes with a 95% chance of it working and !% chance it will fuck the rhythm of her heart fully then if that was to happen she would need a pace maker fitting.

After we came out we went for a sandwich to Subway not bad meatballs and cheese with tomato Italian sauce .
Went shopping to Meadow Hall at Sheffield i finally bought a bottle of Bvlgaria Man In Black Eau De Perfume at a cost of £54.99 i have been wanting some for ages , i also bought some Jack Jones jeans and some Adidas training shoes in white and grey along with a light blue polo shirt , a red checked short sleeve shirt and a blue and white stripped  t-shirt and a khaki green water proof summer rain jacket which i will also wear in winter which was a bargain at £45 , i needed cheering up as i am back at work tomorrow it takes a few days to adjust a month of is a long time , and it is still grey raining windy weather which is totally depressing as i type this it is dark and you can hear the wind howling not a nice evening it is only 22.25 and it is the first of June it is a joke .
