Onward

Well Christmas has been and gone, rather uneventfully for me, but that’s pretty much how I like it. I like to keep away from the materialistic masses and just have time to myself, review things and plan ahead for the New Year, also take time out to reflect about people that aren’t here anymore.

I’ve had a couple of good nights out and got to see my friend Gary that works in Hong Kong and came back to see his parents bringing his new baby over with him. He bought me the newest gadget from Hong Kong, a rechargeable remote control Helicopter that’s really tiny, its so fragile looking I’m scared of breaking it, though I have took it for a hover around my kitchen.

I went to Birmingham for a day out, maybe a blog coming on that one but it was rather uneventful to be honest.

There’s possibly a lot going to be happening in the New Year, that require separate blogs really, one being major surgery I have to face, the other being very much work in progress at the moment, so more later.

So all that remains is to wish all my friends a Happy New Year in 2007 !!!

Onwards and upwards!

Theory

Yay! I passed my driving theory test today, next is the practical test. The test itself was ok, though the test centre was a bit austere. On finishing the test the computer screen asked if wanted to volunteer to do some questions they were thinking of adding to future tests but I was more interested in my result! They give you the result in a folded piece of paper and the red certificate made me instantly think I'd failed, I hadn't, I'd got 34 right out of 35 so was well pleased.

With a broad grin I left the test centre and got hit by the No.38 bus !

Comments

It seems the new Blogger Beta has problems, especially with people trying to add comments. I'm not sure if this is fixed yet but perusing other blogs it would seems it is a wide spread problem. People on the old blogger can't seem to comment on the people that have switched to Blogger Beta. All I can say is after switching to Beta I haven't noticed a deal of difference, there are a couple of new features but things remain the same. I did have problems on the old blogger with photos occasionally but Beta seems again, ok.

So, sorry if you can't comment but keep trying or my ego will deflate!

Lincoln

Did some christmas shopping in Lincoln today with Pete who I used to work with and had a fab day. Though I've been through Lincoln lots of times and even stayed there for a beer or two in the past I've never really explored it.

Lincoln is a lovely city, though it doesn't really feel like a city, population wise it is smaller than where I live. Not being the largest of places its easy to navigate, apart from the steep hill leading to the cathedral but all the main shops are there plus a great variety of places to eat. Hopefully if I move over to Newark in the near future I'll be spending more time over in Lincoln.

Quote Of The Week

I was in Newark yesterday (and Starbucks opened there on Sunday - yay), Anyway I was browsing on the flea market and chanced upon a cd by The Mission for a bargain price. So when I handed my purchase over to the middle aged stall holder he said with a little cackle;

'Hehehehehe... little goth'

Well it made me smile anyway!
