Part One today. Should've been yesterday, but we're in the middle of a ruddy great storm, and they opted to leave it a day.

Neighbour's Cats

10th August 2023

Such a pretty cat.
It'll take your hand off if you try to stroke it, and will yell at you for daring to look at it, but it's a lovely little cat.
Our neighbours moved away from our street, to the new estate 'round the back, a *snip*

We decide to get rid of my brown bookcases. They don't suit the room. For the past year or so, I've been trying to decide what to replace the brown bookcases with. Should we just paint them, or shall I opt for something bigger and be*snip*

AGameAWeek Redesign

6th January 2023

Oh no...
So, off to Salford I went for a chat with the neurosurgeon. It's been 2 years since my last scan, and .. although he agreed that given how horrifically the last shunt went, I should probably get frequent scans, we also agreed that, under cu*snip*

Bad Day

30th December 2022

Good Aunt 1 regularly heads over to Ireland to visit Good Aunt 2. She does this maybe twice a year, and it's nice for Good Aunt 1 to get away. Good Aunt 1 has learning/mental issues since she was in an accident as a child. She's mentally stuck a*snip*

A Decade Later

Been reminiscing, today.
Reading through old threads, blogs, facebookings and tweets..
Kind of a bit morbid, if I'm honest.

Farewell, Laptop

2nd September 2021

My sister's visiting, moving all her stuff that she left behind, to goto her new flat.

I Had McDonalds

11th June 2021

About 5 years ago, Uncle Jimmy brought us some McDs for a treat.
Prior to that.. I'd say the last time I ventured into a McDs must've been 2009 or so, maybe??!
It's been a while, that's for sure.
McD added a new drive-thru close to our *snip*

Cutlery

17th May 2021

About 30 or so years ago, Mum bought some lovely cutlery for the house.
Over the years, knives have been bent as makeshift screwdrivers, spoons have been snapped in half trying to dig far-too-cold ice cream out of the tub, and forks have just plain vanish*snip*

The Consultant

30th April 2021

Early last year, I was fighting for my PIP disability, and one of the medical guys suggested I should probably be getting more frequent checks.

The Arcade

A huge arcade. Vast space, loads of cabinets.
But suddenly, an invasion..
The BBC decided to move in, removed a few units, and set up a temporary Snooker area, right in the middle of the arcade.
People were shunned out of the way, and ...then.. from th*snip*

Oven dying..
It's a fan oven.
We generally need to cook things at about 20 degrees above the higher (none-fan) temperature to cook properly.
The hobs can be quirky too.
