Sundog
Saw my first sun dog of the year while driving home, it was a really bright one with some really dramatic sky behind it and to the side of it, what annoyed me was that I could not stop to take a picture of it.
Valentines day
I see that the card company's and lots of others I now trying to make sure that valentines day is a big spend a bit like Easter or even Xmas.
I think that it has just become an way of making money, which is sad as it's supposed to be a pagin day!

Music
Just downloaded a new album from Above&Beyond and I must admit getting over 300 minutes for £7.99 does to me seem like a good deal.
So far the music has been great

New printer
So finally after what seems like for ever we have gone and got ourselves a new printer.
As we have got sick and tired of paying an absolute fortune for ink and also because we wanted a wifi printer we went for a kodak printer.
The wifi setup was very easy and it work a treat.
I even managed to download a free app which let's me print photos from my iPad.
All I now have to do is find an app which will let me print from my word apps and my iPad is finally connected.
So far the printer is working well and the results of the scan and print are also good.
Cost of in is very good and much much cheaper than the old printer.

Dates
Can you have a date with your wife?
Can you have an affair with your wife?
I don't know the answers to these questions, but it's fun I think to ask them cause if you don't ask them who will?
I think when I get the chance I will give the Internet a good going over and see if anyone else has asked these questions and if they came up with any answers

Games
Why is it that certain games you like as soon as you see them and others no matter how much you see them and how many times you see them played they just don't do anything for you?
I don't know the answer to the above question but it's something that I have noticed not just with games but also with book and television programmes
I suppose that it could also be true for other thing that people like and dislike.

Blogs
So this blog of mine is now a few years old.
Which is a bit like me!
Now the thing is that before if I wanted to write a post I had to be on my computer which is at home, which means that I have no chance of just doing a post on a win.
It also takes a while to log on to the site and get into the position where I can do the posting.
As you might know if you read this blog I got an iPad at Xmas and one of the free apps that I have downloaded allows me to do my posts on the iPad and then upload them when I have a wifi connection.
The great thing about this is that I can do a post whenever the muse strikes, even when I have no wifi connection as it will store the posts and then will upload as soon as there is a connection.
The net result is that the number of posts I now post has gone up a lot which is good in that a lot of those odd thoughts that you have at odd times are now getting recorded.
As this blog is a notebook for my ideas it means that I will get more of them recorded and perhaps will be able to look at them in more detail later on.

Baths
Why is it that having a bath is always more relaxing than a shower?
I don't know the answer to that question but I do know that I do enjoy a good hot bath.

Blood
I am as you know if you have read this blog a blood dinner of more than ten years.
So yesterday I gave blood for the first time this year and all being well will give at least twice more possibly three times Delong on the timing as it all depends on the calendar and the availability of the blood bank being in my area to collect the blood.
You can give blood every twelve weeks so they say as your body has to build back up all the iron and stuff that goes onto your blood.
So how many units of blood have I given?
117 as of yesterday, it's not a bad total and it's nice to think that each unit that o have given has helped some three people!
So if my maths is correct(not that I claim to be a mathematician ) I think the total is somewhere in the region of 351.
So I have helped some 300 odd people, it's nice to think that I might have made a difference to their lives.

Writing
So as you know I am writing this book and as i said last time I have done the first draft.
No the problem I am having is that as I come to do the second draft the software that I am using to do the job is for some reason or other is having problems
More significantly it keeps crashing when I try to remove lots of content that I no longer need.
I have already treks just using the computer with nothing else running on it, and sad to say I am getting the same failure.
It goes with out saying that it is now really starting to p@@@ me off big time.
As it's stopping me from getting on with the book.

Windy
So very windy outside not sure how long it's going to be going on.
But the noise outside is so loud that it woke me up early, the noise being the wind through trees near by the house.

Training
Funny I like to learn new stuff or to have stuff I already know explained to me in a different way.
What I don't like is the travel!
And what's worst thing about it is that my discomfort at the thought of traveling is getting worse swell.
I don't understand why it is happening as for many holidays travel is all part of it.
So go figure I don't have a clue as to what is going on with me.
But I am going to fight it

Midsummer murders
Well just seen the last episode of midsummer murders with John Nettles in sad to see him leave but nice the way that they treated his character in the end
Time
Time is something that you can either have too much of or not enough of.
I would say that just lately I have a real shortage of time.

Month two
So the first month of the year is already over, some will say good others will have the opposite to say.
All I can say about January is that it was an expensive month in that the wife had to have two new tyres on her car which was an expense that we did not expect to have but that's how life is, you never quite know what is going to turn up next.
So I wonder just what this month is going to bring which is of course no change for the month before and the month before that.
I suspect that if I go looking back over my blogs that I have said the same thing or something very much like it before.

Coffee
Do you like freshly brewed coffee in the morning?
I know I do
Just thought I would record that here

Plans
I have made a few plans on some of the things that I would like to do this year.
One of them is to write a book!
Now if you have looked at other posts on this blog you will see that it is not such a strange or outlandish thing to want to do, as I have in the past written the odd book or two.
The good news is that I have got off my arse and have done something about it.
In fact I am surprised just how much I have managed to do so far.
I have done the complete first draft of my new book which is good.
My plan now is to put it to one side and let it mature for some days or weeks and then look at it again.
Hopefully this will give me time to see what needs to be done on editing it and what is missing and what needs to be taken out to improve the book.
Only time will tell, so look out for another post on how this years book is going.

Cold
A bit of a surprise at just how cold it is today, not sure what I expecting it to be to be honest, perhaps I am thinking that spring can't be far away or that I want spring to start early!
