MAgical mySTERy tour...

So I had a dream about pet names for some reason. I can't exactly remember the dream but this morning it got me wondering what peoples pet names are for their partners or kids.

I have to venture off to work once more now, but I suppose I can't go without telling you our pet names. Ok here goes.

Wifey says to me "Good morning my little what is that!" (Taken from Open Season)

And I say "Good morning woot!" (Short for Cutie Wooty McWooty of course)

Oh God should I even be blogging this? LOL

Right I am offski - ta ra for now!

Yep I'm still a freak...

At least I think so anyways...

In the end it says "Together Always"

So Ukraine beat England and it was a Manchester United players fault.

This makes me rather happy for many reasons: -

a) I hate Manchester United!
b) I rather dislike Rio Ferdinand (I shan't use hate in reference to any human).
c) England were already through so the result changes virtually nothing.
d) Ukraine only have to beat Andorra and Croatia are out. Revenge for what happened a couple of years ago.
e) Even though she has bragging rights and I now need to buy her a kitten, wifey is rather happy her team won.

And when wifey is happy, the night will be a good one!

I woke up this morning alone downstairs on my sofa and headed up to wish wifey a good morning. One hour later I got up and had a shower, got ready for work and had a rather relaxing drive to my office contemplating the wonderful fact that it's Friday.

I settled in, made myself a nice cup of black earl grey, one sugar, and switched on my PC. My emails were empty, I had caught up on my work - finally! I tidied up my documentation for one hour and then the boss shouts over to me...

"I've been driving around with something in my boot all week but you haven't been in the office to collect it. I was driving past Oddbins last weekend and your favourite beer was on offer so I bought you a crate. I'm just waiting for a call and then afterwards we can head down to the car park and we'll do the boot to boot transfer."

Luckily I had parked right next to the boss, and ten minutes later there was a crate of Veltins beer in my boot. It's by my feet on the floor as we speak ready for tomorrow night.

My blackberry made it's usual futuristic bleep - I had an email. A reminder in reference to the hotel I have booked for 17th October in Ashton-under-Lyne. Oh balls, I wish I hadn't bought a non-refundable room now that Dina has cancelled her birthday party due to some religious festival I don't quite understand. £55 wasted. Oh well I'll give them a call and see if they are understanding.

Ten minutes later after a nice chat with a rather lovely lady, my Blackberry made that rather familiar bleep once more - another email.

"We are sorry you have decided to cancel, you will receive your refund between five and ten days".

Woohooo, £55 richer - happy days!

I think I'll take wifey to Blackpool tonight to see the lights, something everyone must do at least once in their lives.

My colleague turns around and asks me a strange question...

"What time will you be going to the firework display?"
"What firework display?"
"Aren't you going???"
"What firework display?"
"The one in Southport, the competition"
"Oh, well first I've heard. I'm off to Blackpool to see the lights, so I guess not"

6pm arrives, "I'll have the soup for starter and the salmon fishcakes with a baked potato". There I was sitting in Southport, Frankie and Benny's enjoying a rather romantic meal - ahhh this is the life.

7.30pm arrives, the rain stops and we walk about twenty yards from Frankie and Benny's. A few sample fireworks explode in the sky, and we chat happily about our usual stupid stuff.

8pm arrives and we are greeted by one of the best firework displays I have ever seen. Better than Blackpool lights.

9pm arrives and the displays have finished. It's raining again but it's ok because luckily I had my trusty wedding umbrella still in my boot just a few yards away.

9.30pm arrives and there we are munching on sweet popcorn and drinking Coke. Surrogates has just started. Yes this is the life.

11.52pm arrives and I am writing a blog having just seen a rather amazing film. It reminds me of sitting here hours on end (often without sleep) chatting online - missing out on life.

I'm not missing out on life any more. Yes - this is the life! Now I have something to blog about!

It would certainly make my little tipple more interesting.  Speaking of which, I can see some Laphroaig coming my way tomorrow.... ahhhhhhh.

And also, this girl is very very talented and I think I'm becoming a little obsessed....

So it's my mums birthday tomorrow and I've bought her something really rather cool. Well it looks cool, I'm not sure how good it is in practice.

As you probably know, my mum hasn't been so well for a fair few years now and spends a lot of time alone with Tia Maria (her dog, not the drink thank God). For the past few weeks I have been considering various gifts that would give to my mum hours of mental stimulation (that doesn't involve Coronation Street, Eastender, Strictly or X-Factor) and so I came up with this...

It's a funky little device that burns all your LP's (for you youngies, that's the spinny vinyl thing on the top) in MP3 format onto a pen stick, SD card or a USB pendrive. Since my mum has about 2000 LP's this will be hours (maybe years) of fun for her. The quality might not be so amazing as a song you can download, but this is free and easy!

So do you think she'll like it?

Oh, and it also plays the LP's, CD's and MP3's on the funky speakers as shown, so we can't go wrong.

So did everyone celebrate a 250th birthday last night? I did, I had two Guinness before I was too full and so I moved on to whatever the guest beer was at the Scotch Piper last night. We walked down there with Tia Maria (little Yorkie Terrier as mentioned earlier) and she was so excited to see all the other cute dogs there that she was pulling me there by the end. So anyway, to cut a long story short, later in the night a few people with learning difficulties came into the pub and had a field day with Tia. She loved it, she wasn't judgemental in any way, she just wagged her tail lots and gave them rather cute little kisses and it was fun. In the end I agreed to come back to the pub with Tia more often (as long as they bring back Top Hat, I miss that beer very much).

So in conclusion, dogs and cats are therapeutic don't you think? And hopefully so is the USB LP player...
