This post might take a while to load...

Hello!

It's been a while again since I posted, but I shall not apologise, oh no! The ironic thing is that to blog so often I'd imagine you would need to not go out of an evening after work, but then you wouldn't have anything to write about on said blog...a perfect catch 22 if ever I knew one.

So, things have been trucking along nicely in Room 27. I've been playing sports (both tennis and arcade games thank you very much)

I've been throwing eggs at people's heads...sorry Mr. Jack...



I've been getting jabbed up for the Big Trip to Africa and have the Rabies vaccination in my system, something I never thought I'd do, especially since I've been to Africa twice now (gloat, gloat) £135 is the biggest joke, 'but the trip was free' I keep reminding myself...

I've been entertaining family and losing baaaaaadly at card games.

I've been watching this video so many times I now know it off by heart:

We hosted my Dad and Gill and also Josh's parents a.k.a the In-Laws here this past weekend which has been calorific and fun filled. From pub quizzes to garden drinking, to curries, from IKEA trips, quiz machines, 20p book sales, picnics in parks, cupcakes, to more curries and playing cards, it's so nice to have a nice house that we're not ashamed of inviting people to! OK so the mattress on our spare bed would be more comfortable if it was made from nails, but we don't have to sleep in it, and most visitors are usually drunk when they fall into it!

We went for a walk on Sunday to Otley Chevin, heck I even took my binoculars! It's a beautiful place and one I want to go back to when I'm not desperate for a wee! Why does that always happen at the furthest point from a toilet...?

Here are a few pictures from the weekend just gone:

Where I'd quite like to live...love that turret

He ain't heavy, he's my brother...

 Sunday Chevin Strolls

 Windswept, but what a view...


 Lucky Chevin Heather, let's see what luck it brings me.

Things I'm excited about:
  • Only a few weeks until I'm floating above the Serengeti in a hot air balloooooooon! Surreal!
  • Finding Red Velvet cupcakes in Tesco
  • Having 20 followers on Twitter! It's a small step in the right direction!
  • Bank Holiday coming up, long lazy weekend heading my way...
  • Finishing my current book 'One Day' by David Nicholls, I just love it!
  • Having fresh OJ in the house, you can tell the In-Laws were here...
