Happy Christmas

So it's the 25 December so it must be Christmas if you celebrate that kind of thing. For me it's a day off so that is always good.

Drink

Having a the bears from jig hug the beer is a bit strong for me as there appears to be a lot of hops which appears to overload the flavours for me.

Drink

Drinking fullers 1845 all i can say is wow.

This is not a session beer but something to be enjoyed with respect as it is a great beer with a strong taste.

Shoes

Why do women have so many shoes?

I don't know the answer to this question but I am sure that the answer if there is one is going to be good.

Time

Where does all the time go when you are on days off?

I mean I woke up at my usual time and decided to do some reading, the next thing I know it's 11.30 where has the time gone to?

Reading

I like to read this is something that I have always loved and it's something that I have always done. So it is always a pleasure when I get a book that is great to read the only problem with this is that I then find that other things that I should be doing are not being done and that can and does lead me in getting into trouble, but with a  good book the trouble caused is I think worth it. Most of the time the books I now read are on the iPad, which in one way is sad but it is easier to carry far more books than if they were paperbacks. 

One of the joys of reading is that you can sometimes find a new author and then find that they have written lots of books, so you know that your reading list is going to be full for the next few weeks as you read through the list.

The first time

So this is the first time that I am using a program called swift key I am not sure yet if it is going to be quicker than me typing all the words myself but I have read that it needs to learn more about how I write before it can start to be quicker than me typing all the words myself so I will give it a go and see what happens.

Solstice

So winter solstice has been and gone agin and the night soon should start getting shorter, I read somewhere that the daylight difference beetween winter solstice and summer solstice is 7.5hours that's a lot you just don't realise just how much light in the winter here in the uk you loose.😀

Wow

Wow so much time has passed since I last had something to say here on my blog. Not too sure why it is but there you go.

One of the things I like about having my own personal and for all intents and purposes private blogs is that I can write when I want about whatever I want as the only person who reads this is me right?

So having had this blog for a long time I have noticed that I can go for many weeks with nothing to say and that alright as its my blog and sometime I just don't feel like I have anything that I want to say.

So I may or may not do a couple of more blog entry's before the end of the year it all depends on just how I am feeling.

Cold

Well a cold snap, I forget just cold it can be.

Cold weather

So the weather people have said that it's going to turn a lot colder this weekend not sure that I like that.

Sad

Things are still sad due to my Mum passing away in late October.

Bad times

Bad times as Mum died on 23 October 

Sunrise

So I have just noticed that sunrise is now getting later and later in the morning which should not be a surprise but it is its just that it appears to have happened rather quickly. I suppose this means that winter is now with us for the next few months.

James Follett

So the other day I managed to read a peice of work by James Follett that I had never read. It cost me some 2 quid but I think that it was worth it. There now is very little published work of James's that I have not read. Sadly I don't think that there is much unpublished work to find as James was never very prolific as a writer which is sad as a lot of his work was a good read. What is also sad is that a lot of his work has not aged and so if he had been more productive far more of his work would have been seen and enjoyed by more people. Sadly the only way you can see and read his work is to download it from Amazon. The good news is that it appears that most of his work is available as kindle books which is good, dare I say it but they are also cheaper than when they were in paperback.

Last night of the proms

So last night on the television i watched the last night of the proms and it was rather good to see that everyone seemed to enjoy it. It is also a bit sad as it means that winter is coming.

Websites

So I have finally got all my website domains sorted out it has taken rather a long time but they are now all mine and all working which is good as it has not been like that for some time. In all it has taken some 2 years for the domains to be sorted out but the good news is that they are now all working as i want them.

Lie in

I had a lie in today but it was not your normal kind of lie in as i had it at 3 in the morning as i could not sleep. So I now find myself in the position of being very tired but wide awake which is not something I want.

Updates to the websites

So we have just had a bank holiday here and I think you can guess what the weather was like. So that gave me some free time to have a play on my websites. The result was that I have managed to update the sites that I own.

For some of the sites it turns out that I have not updated them for more than two years which was a surprise to me, the good thing is that I have updated them.

Darkness

Just a note to me that it is now starting to get noticeably darker in the evening
