Serious Pigeon is serious
Sunday 30 August 2009
at
23:49
I went to London with the wife and son yesterday, took in a few places. Mainly went to take my son to the transport museum again (He is a bus/train fan). Also I fancied going up on the London eye with him. That was until I saw the price. They want £27 pounds a person for a go on that big wheel! Well they ain't getting anything near that from me. Pfff I say it was overpriced at £7 a go. Anyways we had fun.
Best pic I came back with was this Very serious looking Pigeon who eyed up our chips in the Liverpool st station Macdonalds.
The other pics didn't escape my photoshop placing, along with a couple of some plums and damsons we got from the allotment for more jam making earlier.
(Before anyone says, my wife is carrying the fruit cos I was carrying our son and some tools! Honest, I was! :-) )

Went to the Museum
Friday 21 August 2009
at
21:32
So I headed to the town museum today with my son. They had a childrens activity day thing on, making forts and playing table top wargames. He had a great time, I had a good day of it too. Great gardens there and I grew up around the corner from here so it took me back down memory lane :o) Anyways heres some pics thrown together with my new-favorite photoshop place function ;p

Another exam
Saturday 15 August 2009
at
20:13
I just had another end of section exam today on my CCNA. Now the hardest thing about these tests ive found so far, is the journey there on the trains. Seems London underground have consulted my tutors (behind my back!) and rescheduled upgrading their bussiness only on days when I have to travel across the country... Forth day school this time around and the forth time for disruption...
So I arrive at the Campus five (yep, 1-2-3-4-5 !!) hours late for a seven hour lecture thing and walk through the doors and see this :-
At which point as you could likely guess I was a bit peeved.
But after sucessfully resisting the urge to give up and say a rude word or something, I discovered my lecture group were actually in another room nearby, so all was not lost. I caught the end of the talk and sat the test, and passed, yay!

Climbed a tree
Wednesday 12 August 2009
at
23:12
Walking back from my allotment today I saw an apple tree heavy with fruit. It was on no ones personal ground, just some scrubby bit of bush near a set of neighbourhood garages. So in my shorts and wellies and at age 37 I scooted up there and managed to gather a large try of perfect cox apples in no time, all free !
I love this grow / gather your own food thing. Feels really good, eating a plant that you did all the work forfrom a seed. Also feels nice getting free apples and the childish rush of climbing a tree again!
AH and it rained silly while I was doing it, this is England ^^

My beginning
Monday 10 August 2009
at
21:18
It all started in February 1972 when I joined the queue of hapless human beings in existence. I emerged screaming from my mother's womb in a place called Harlow Newtown, England (the screaming wasn't so much being born but realising "I live in HARLOW! Ahhggaa!").
My Mum was a housewife and my Dad at that time was a gardener. All very normal post-war newtown stuff. Our house was next to woodland and allotments and there were parks and fields all nearby too. I grew up not being sure if I was a town kid lucky to live in a leafy suburb or a country bumpkin who happened to have the convenience of a nearby cinema Was all cool though by merit of the biggest complaint I have from the ages under around 14 was that we never had enough cake in the house. I of course realise now that there will never be enough cake in the house ...

The reason for Cupboard Creatures
Friday 7 August 2009
at
22:34
So im 37 going on 16 and I spend a large amount of my free time at the computer.
Cupboard Creatures is Cupboard Creatures because I once had a cupboard under the stairs with my PC in it, at which time I was unemployed, and I basically lived in that cupboard. I emerged from said Cupboard after about 3 years with nothing to show for it (other than 5 level 70 world of warcraft characters, a beer belly and a divorce^^.I dont regret the WoW time ;p) Since then I've upgraded the wife and tried to sort-out-mah-shit in a worldly sense.
But even though my wife and son are wonderful and I love them loads and am so much happier leading life with them the way things are now, there's a little bit of my heart still in that Cupboard, grinding another char to 70 or reading forums all day sipping cheap lager then singing along to windows media player ;) Im a big kid at heart, always have been :)

Check this out!
I captured this butterfly on my phonecam today at a duckpond. This duck pond where mannequins go fishing on their own little platforms... WTF? ...My son acted like this was something he sees on every street corner, which puzzled me more! Are fishing mannequins some culture fad I missed or something ^^ ?

Sawbridgeworth
at
18:02
Had a damn nice family walk around Sawbridgeworth the other day. We took in an antiques/collectors centre (junk shop to you and me^^) which was really interesting...for me and my wife....Ethan (my little lad)spent about 3 minutes scoping the place for ice creams and power rangers and once he concluded there were neither present, he began the 'are we going home now?' bit that kids do on these occasions :-)

Sunny day, rainy evening
Thursday 16 July 2009
at
21:44
Went for a long walk with the Mrs today, around the shops. We took in, among others, the new camping/outdoors place thats gone up here. First impressions were tepid.'middle-class-twat-macho-wannabe-ego-rubbing' came to mind but i think Barbeque tarzan works too ;) . Padded recliners and heated foot cosys..., matresses that look deeper than the one on our bed at home, pah! You're supposed to get chased by bears and/or get hypothermia when you go camping, not sip cocktails, but hey whatever ;p
Went to the mudfarm later on today, Mrs got some pics.

Blisters
Wednesday 15 July 2009
at
22:39
I've got blisters. Big popped ones on the joints of my fingers and thumb. Ones where the pain is almost nice when stretching them but tingly nasty running spiders when mmy hands are relaxed =( They're from skimming some turf off my allotment, about the size of 2 parking spaces...(the cleared area, not the blisters;p) I gotta come up with something interesting to blog about soon!....
Im taking Ideas if anyone reads this! Just make a suggestion and Ill write what I think about it. Or something ;o)

First time ever at the gym
Tuesday 14 July 2009
at
20:18
So I started at the gym today. Wanting to lose some belly and gain some arms^^ Was ok I guess, treadmills (with built in TV's showing soap operas -no sound just the picture, WTF is with that??) were off my list tho. I have to walk 40 mins to get to the gym (and 40 back after) plus this kinda thing knocking round the web puts me off ... :)

Orange sky
at
00:19
I dunno why but I have some very clear memories from a young age (4 or 5) of looking out of the living room window in my parents house and seeing the sky in a strong shade of orange in the late evening. I've often wondered why I don't see that nowadays. I thought it may be the sodium street lights or pollution through the clouds (there were factories with big old chimneys a bit behind our house). Maybe its my eyes getting less sensitive over the years and children still see orange night skies! I dunno, its a nice memory though :]

The future is neat sausages
Friday 3 July 2009
at

Ok, when I was growing up the general belief about what robots in the future would be like was this...
Sharp witted hunters of men. Meticulous and cold in their persuit of death to the inferior human!
What we got was this...
Cold, hard sausage liner-upper. Still cool robots :-)

This are my wife and son, Ishi and Ethy
Wednesday 17 June 2009
at
22:48
Due to female-body disorder whatever it may be called, my wife thinks she is fat and therefore acts like im suggesting she chews and eats a live spider when i ask her about putting her pic on my blog. To save her (and me!) this suffering i have done alot of Photoshop mucking about so that they're are barely recognisable. This will prolly only just cause a "You think im ugly so you wont link my real picture!" kinda thing. ....A man cannot win, just keep on trying to understand and help his wife to see she's loved. Silly woman scrubs up wonderfully also ^^

Sick as a pig-parrot mutant hybrid
Friday 12 June 2009

14:54
Still ill but not dead just yet. Went to the docs and i got to give a poo sample in a little blue bottle.... it crossed my mind to put a little picture of Abba or something in there for the grins (I CANT STAND ABBA!).. the little bottle has a tiny spoon in the lid. A poo spoon no less. Some designers get all the posh jobs it seems ^^

MP3 player and Allotmenting
Sunday 7 June 2009
at
19:17
Been to the allotment with my music player a few times now and im forming a pattern of tracks that make me work harder at different jobs. Currently the chilli peppers are the best choice for digging to and placebo seem to make the manual shearing of the (miles of^^) grass a little less mind knumbing. Radiohead dont seem to mix well with the earthy type stuff i got to do there. The research continues.. ;)

Ok, Im an English male 37, living in
Essex. I have many strange and varied experiences to share (if requested). Mostly I like to hide away and wait out things in the dark,...
....thats not working out too well for me lately. I gotta get some form of work to be a real husband and dad. But mostly on this blog I think it will be me just giving strange thoughts on just about anything. All kinds of strange thoughts...
