Sunrise

Really noticed this morning that sunrise is getting much later, had to have lights on to drive in at 7 today.

G Live

Went to G Live last night, and I must say the 20 odd million that it cost to build appears to have been well spent.

The show we went to se was called Jackson and was very good it was just sad that the place was not full but there were enough people there for it to be okay the lead singer called Ben was very good and seemed to have a lot of energy and appeared to. Be word and move perfect through all the songs.

I shall look out for more shows at G Live, the only snag with it is that old chestnut of parking, and the local council thinking that motorists should play through the nose for parking at night. Although saying that the parking was only 1.50 for the evening after a certain time.

Cat

So we have two cats and very nice they are, but lately the younger cat has taken to being rather aggressive in wanting his ears being scratched. How does he do this? By head butting you to get your attention and nudging you if you stop.

Ios7

Just a small note to me that now that I have Ios7 installed for a week or more I really don't notice any changes in the way that it works other than it just works most things work the same or perhaps a bit better.

One thing that they still have not changed is that the screen keyboard still does not have cursor keys which makes it a pain when trying to correct a typing mistake as you often end up having to retype the whole word again.

For some reason there also appears to be two different coloured keyboards why?

Any way for me it works which more than can be send for some of the apps that I use on it.

Drink of the day

The drink of the day today is.....

tea!

I don't think I need to say anything more do I?

Weekend

At last the weekend is nearly here, and I must say that I need the lie in even if it's only until 7am!

Grey sky

So all that we have had this weekend is grey sky all week end no less!

It's not cold just dull grey

Reading

Still reading which is good, currently have two books on the go. The first book I have been reading for some weeks now and is called The A303 Higway to the sun this book is okay to read but for some reason I have found that parts of it are not what I wanted to read about eg there is politics about road building ect when all I want to know about is the A303 and it's history, but apart from that it's interesting in that some of the places you pass through on the A303 are places that have a history even if they don't or did not change history.

The second book that I am currently also reading is an anthology of science fiction stories which date to the last thiry or so years the book is in kindel format and so far the stories are ones that I have never read but there are stories by authors that I have read before if that makes sense?

As a book goes it's huge 700 pages and the cost on the kindel 39 pence! I know!

At that rate even if half the stories are not to my liking it really does not matter as I am sure I will have read more that I do like.

Drink of the day

The drink of the day today is......

Tea!

Yes again! 

Drink of the day

The drink of the day today is.....

Tea!

Why not?

It always some how hits the spot.

iOS 7

So I have taken the plunge and have upgraded my iPad to the new so, it works and has given me more memory. What I find hard to believe is that people are having problems with how to use it why?

It's the same as before just that it looks much nicer!

Tanglefoot

Tanglefoot is a real ale that comes in cans and bottles. It's a strong ale but it is easy to drink and has a nice complex taste, which is the reason that I like to drink it.

The thing is does it come in draft, and if it does does it have a differ in flavour to cans and bottles? 

Does it have a different strength?

I don't know the answer to these questions.

All I do know is that it's nice to drink.

Reading

I have been able to do some reding which is nice, it's something that I have always enjoyed, so it's great that I am getting the time to do some reading and also that I am having fun and reading stuff that I have wanted to do for some time.

Mostly at this time I am reading on the iPad using the kindle programme, which for some reason is better and easier to use than the iBook programme.

 Why?

No a clue it's just what I have found that works for me.

So I am glad to be reading again after months of not reading.

Sleep

Sleep is something that when we don't get enough of it we miss it, so I am missing sleep I think I need at least 6 hours a night to function okay the next day.

I know some people need more sleep and other less but it appears for me 6 hours is just about right.

Lost light

Just noticed tonight how dark it's getting so early in the evening. This means I suppose that  autumn  is due soon.

Post holiday

Well holiday is over and that's not good as I have gotten used to the idea of having a lie in to 7am!

Missing

It's funny but we had our daughter and boyfriend say for a couple of days with us on our short break and she went home to today, don't tell her this but I missed my daughter !

It's a very strange sensation missing one of your grown up children!

It can not put into words the feeling of loss ? That one has

It's even stranger in that daughter live with boyfriend a and has now done so for so e time but still I feel a loss when she went home!

Is this normal!

I think it's something that all parents who are close to the kids feel but how you describe it to others is the problem!

So I shall say it here for me to look back on when I am older I miss my kids.  

Relax

How to relax?

I don't know how to relax but after a couple of days when I have no alarm clock telling me when to wake up I find myself awake at 7 in the morning instead of 5 so I suppose that's what a lie in is called.

The fact that I am also not wearing a watch and constantly checking the time must I think mean that I am relaxing, if this is the case then I am relaxed.

Hot tub

Why is it that a hot tube is just so nice after a long walk?

I don't know the answer but I do know that I can recommend a hot tube after a long walk especially if you end up 1377 ft higher than when you started!

September

So it's the ninth month of the year and I find myself on a short break and very relaxing it is too
