Man and Van 2

Either the stickers have been removed or the super stickered van is in fact a different van. I make this assumption as the van this week is back to its usual small stickers. In other news I remembered to put the bins out this week.

Donny Osmands Father Dies

That was the title of the article. It made me think, well surely the father of all Donny's siblings has died as well. It turns out that yes the father of all of them has died. But the article writer clearly thought it only significant that Donny had lost his father. Why are some people more important than others I wonder.

Last weekend

Last weekend was when I was at Dad's, and the brothers were there too. One exciting thing that happened was that me, brothers and cousin went to watch the mighty Ipswich Town. We used to have season tickets in the rather sedate Britannia Stand. The boys moved this season to the North Stand. This is where people do standing and singing throughout the game. I was a little bit worried about this as the place I have mostly watched football from was the sitting quietly and nicely Britannia. But Gareth, Paul and Steve promised me that it would be ok, that it would be just like watching an away game in standing and noise terms (which I quite enjoy) and that they would look after me. I did actually really enjoy it very much. The Town did winning by three goals to nil, and did some fairly good playing. Our keeper saved a penalty early on in the game. We sang one of my favourite Town songs (Edward Ebeneezer Jeremiah Brown for those of you that are interested). Paul did some amusing shouting (if you are going to hear what it was it will have to be from Gareth or Paul because they write things funnily, unlike my boring recounts). I enjoyed a nice half time pint. The toilets were quite pleasant. Ray gave us some Fruit Pastilles to share. This weekend we play the scum at their place. They are having a shockingly awful season.

After the game I had some lovely soup and dumplings, and then learnt how to make boxes out of old greetings cards.

Horsebox

Right so this weekend I was at my dads. It was a lovely weekend. I popped into holiday club at his church (where I actually spent most of my time playing with my friends 2 year old girl), I saw a college friend and his family, I had fun with some marvellous people such as Zo, Pinder, Kev, Leanne, Mrs Ruth, Gareth, Paul, Steve and Dave, I saw the town win (I might do so more blogging about this some other time), I went to church and was able to chat with a some lovely people. It was a rather lovely weekend.

On my way home I did have the misfortune to meet a rather blind (or maybe just not very good at doing looking) driver. It was on the A14. There had clearly been some big horsey event earlier in the day for there were many horseboxes traveling along the road (most of them the all in one kind of horse boxes, none of this inferior horse box trailer type thing attached to a car). Anyway one of them decided that pulling out into my lane while I was driving past them was a good idea. At first I thought he was just drifting slightly over the line. Then I realised that he was actually coming into my lane. Then I was aware that I had gone over the white line, over the cats eyes, and was in fact as close to the crash barrier as I would ever like to be thank you very much. For some reason I put my indicator on. I don't know why I didn't flash my lights or beep my horn, in my moment of panic my brain thought that indicating would be the best way to get the drivers attention. Thankfully the driver did realise just in time that i was there, and pulled back into his lane. It was all slightly hair raising!

When I got home I ate two crumpets, one with just butter, the other with butter and golden syrup.

Man and Van

The man who lives in the flat below me has a van. It is a white van that is used for work purposes. It is quite large, and parked outside my window when the man is not at work (or using it for social purposes). Until last week it had one sticker on each side with the name of the company he works for. This week it has stickers all over it, stating what the company does, phone number, website address (which doesn't exist btw), etc. This is just something that I have observed this week.

Things I have had trouble with since moving.

My ironing board
Virgin mobile
Storage heaters
Drying clothes
Buying the right amount of food
npower
Spiders.

4 of the above have been resolved.

I have just joined amazons rental thingy. I am a bit clueless about films. What would you recommend I watch? Bearing in mind that I don't like much swearing or fighting. I always find myself leaning towards chic flicks, but want to expand my film watching experience. So, suggestions please.......
