HIGH RISE

 Raining again was going to take the dog out Bailey then come home and cook a full English breakfast I stopped of at the local all night garage last night and bought some sausage and black pudding .I can't be arsed talking Bailey out in the rain either of us enjoy getting wet .gain 

Bailey is limping again went back to the vets another fifty quid he did get better not sure why he might have hurt himself either jumping off or on the sofa we went out came home and he was picking his leg up hopefully more rest or its a cost of 2.5 k to get an operation .

Bought a cold shoe mount for my Hohem gimbal so I now I can mount both a microphone and led light  should I wish .

Also looking at a editing software program Flimora it looks very good and a lot cheaper than Final Cut Pro .

SATURDAY - Went over to Helen's sons new flat he is on the ninth floor , you ca see for miles,  first thing I'd buy , a decent pair of binoculars .He needs carpets throughout and plenty of white emulsion he even has a small balcony get a few plants and a patio table and chair be eating out alfresco if you don't mind the pigeon shit .To be fair the flat is fairly clean the bathroom looks quite new white and clean it is double glazed and has no signs of damp .

A BIG HEART

 SUNDAY - Two garden centres in one afternoon first we went to Newbank garden centre at Royston then we went over to Newbank at Bury it was a drive out and something to do we bought a giant heart made out of twigs and some garden pots and a few plants .On the way home we ended up yet again ordering our Sunday roast from the local pub The Boshaw Trout that is the fourth weekend we have had dinner from the pub obviously its nice food or we wouldn't keep going back , its an hard habit to break .

Bought a black Tushi tactical belt with quick release buckle of eBay I have ordered another two one in jungle camouflage and one in plain grey they are around £8 and I think a great belt .

Also of Amazon I have ordered a gimbal adjustable ring mount that clamps on to the gimbal also you can mount and hold both  a light and microphone for filming at night it was only a few pounds with next day delivery .

Helen son is moving in to a new flat this coming Saturday he is on the ninth floor it over looks a nature reserve lake which is quite a nice view ,

There is also a Greggs , Subway , McDonalds fish shop and post office as well as a pub and working mans club  what more do you want o we bought hime things he needs and  hopefully a friend of mine is sorting out a double bed we can take it all over for him Saturday morning .He already has the keys so hopefully no waiting around as we have other things to do in the afternoon .

Went to the Guy Fawkes Inn had a pint of cider and a pulled pork sandwich would have been better if it had more pork in it but it was nicely cooked and presented we sat outside  in the beer garden .We had a meet up with Paranormal Newcastle with Kayleigh and Louise what they don't know about hauntings in York isn't worth knowing hopefully we can meet up again soon and hopefully it will be sunnier and warmer than it was today .

The heart is too go over our bed at the moment we have a canvas this will look a lot better if it doesn't fall on to our heads .Will put it up tomorrow just had Sunday diner again from our local The Bowshaw Trout .

HIS AND HERS

MONDAY - Took delivery of the green shed it came in the morning I was out getting six paving slabs for the shed to sit on .It was getting dropped off as I got back to the house there was no time to start the shed build .I need a hand grinder to cut three of the pavers .

TUESDAY - Bought a angle grinder and a pack of discs from Tool station just over £40 its always handy to have a disc cutter .Cut the pavers was easy enough dug out the soil and laid the paving .Had to remove three Ikea blue bags of soil got the pavers quite level .

Started the shed build screwed the back panel and one side panel to the base , then the opposite side panel then the two front panels then both apex pieces finally the two roof panels . I also got the two roof  roof panels on and felted , had to stop to get ready for work at six .

WEDNESDAY - Hinged the door and fitted the hasp and staple fitted the side infill pieces and the wood edges that hold the felt down . emptied Helens shed and moved hers alone then pushed the new shed into place , had to change the older shed door to open the opposite way just spited it top to bottom needs the paint touching up where the old fittings where  , both sheds in place need to get some more timber for shelve supports and shelving that will be tomorrow .

THURSDAY - Bought wood to fit out both sheds with shelves the new shed  is just having one wide shelf the old one shelves on three sides rain stops play will have to wait for a day without any rain might be a while this is the U.K .

DEJA VU

SATURDAY - slept in it was half past ten in the morning when I dragged my arse out of bed not slept in that late on a Saturday for years what a waste of a morning . Helen had a couple of readings to do over at the salon in the afternoon .

on the way home we ordered fish and chips from our local Inn The Boshaw Trout we ordered them with baked beans and mushy peas the fish was cooked in beer batter and the chips triple  cooked nice and filling  way too many chips .

SUNDAY - Went to Ikea bought four black dining chairs and two white floating shelves for our main bedroom .

•                                      

MONDAY - Went over to my daughters Salon she did our hair its has been  a while I had  grade one on the back and sides .Helen had hers coloured and cut .

TUESDAY - Back to Ikea got rid of £175 its easily done as well as other soft furnishings and cushion's tea lights and candles bought a giant wood chopping board a bread board two more lamps that you can dim which look like old fashioned lanterns .

FLAT PACKED

Been busy the last couple of days as the furniture flat packs from Ikea arrived Wednesday afternoon we had ordered  a eight drawer unit for our bedroom as can't have enough drawer space and a day bed with three drawers  that converts  into a double bed all you literally do is just pull the base out as its on wheels ,  This is in Helen office work room .There was no major issues assembling wise all went together as the instructions did not have that many spare bits fixings left over and nothing was short or missing both units are solid wood and in white .We will have to move the desk that you see in the picture when we want to pull the bed out but that's only once every blue moon should anyone want to stay over at any time .

The drawers below I have the top right drawer and the drawer below that one  I do have more drawers but that's all I am allocated still I am only a man with limited needs .

Anyone who has never bought an Ikea piece of furniture because they think they are cheaply thrown together or are not solid or will fall apart when moved trust me they are not I have never had any issues with furniture flat packs from Ikea .

SUNDAY ROAST TO GO .

 SUNDAY - Drove to Leeds to the John Lewis store at the Victoria gate we used the on side car park parked up took th lift and exit in the John Lewis store itself .I was taking a pair of Levi Jeans back as they didn't fit they were a Christmas present and with the covid restrictions I had not been into Leeds city centre .I exchanged them for a gift card . I ended up buying a large  Bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier's "Le Beau " very nice I have been wearing Jean Paul for years .

Getting back to the car park was a nightmare we didn't realise the lifts for the car park where located only on one floor we went to every flor and asked various staff all telling us different places to go we finally got out and back to the car only to find out to pay you had to go back to the first floor , I finally paid and we headed home .

We called are local Pub The Boshaw Trout and ordered Sunday dinner I had the roast beef and Helen the roast pork the picture below is before it was covered with a rich dark brown gravy it hit the spot I love beef with a nice horse radish sauce .

The rest of Sunday was spent watching You Tube before going to bed at reasonable time I am back at work Monday doing my 18.00 till 02.00 shifts .My shingles are a lot better but still irritating and still giving me bursts of pain and tingling sensations of hot needles going into my skin this only happens a few times every few hours hopefully I will get back to normal as quick as possible .

MONDAY - Woke up just after six a.m had a shower went down to the kitchen to make a coffee feed Bentley who had followed me down stairs and was nattering me for food ,The road we live on his finally getting tarmac on it the paths were done last week the road this week should only take two days no more dirt road brilliant , they raised the man hole covers and other iron work last week  ready for the tarmac going down .

Will need to iron my work shirt and trousers be nice if I was not going back at all its been nice spending time at home be even better now the weather seems to be getting closer to hot summer days .

We are going to York this Saturday my son starts his night job today hopefully he will continue to be employed for months to come but I am not counting chickens a week at a time hopefully the weeks will come and go and he will still be working without a regular income you have nothing ,Your spending power zero living hard and going without things is common.He has been wanting to get his iPhone fixed for the last few months the screen got smashed hopefully that is now on the cards if he continues to work .

 

ON THE HUNT

 SATURDAY - I will be back at work this coming Monday after twenty four days not at work be a long first shift hopefully without any major issues or hiccups .I have had both Pfizer injections should be safer than ever .

Helen has been looking for Comfort fabric conditioner perfume deluxe Aqua Bloom I bought a bottle and it was a while befog we got round to using it when she did the smell from it was really strong sc ended smell that lasted was real high end perfume smell , of cause we used it and couldn't find it in any of the major supermarkets or retail stores I bought her six 1.178 L bottles of Amazon hopefully we have nice smell clothes and bedding for weeks to come .

We are going on a ghost hunt tonight to Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds we have been here before it will be great if the rain stays away Spirits Within Paranormal we are getting quite  a following us we are trying to get to  book a night at 30 East Drive one of England most haunted houses . And the Old Nick at Gainsborough that was a theatre but before that it was a police station with 23 recorded deaths and suicides 

                                                                         30 East Drive 

                                                                Old Nick former Police cells 

                                                              

Ghost hunting gets us out and about I do prefer indoor locations the weather does not matter  and its usually warmer and sounds are more easily defined with no hollowing wind or birds and other small animals making weird sounds and less ambient noises from traffic and other people near by .
