Today I drove Tony here and there, then went out with Dad to Bridgnorth for a mooch. First we went to the small park, where we went to find the smooth conkers. They are really strange as they are so huge & almost black, and have really smooth shell/skins.
We went on and had a walk around the town, looking around the shops & looking at the views, didn't take long to waste time before we had to carry on home anyway.
Look at the beautiful weather, Dad didn't even take a jumper!

I don't even remember what I did today really! But I did get a couple of pics.
First is just autumn colours, second is a bush in our garden and lastly is these cool lit up trees that are outside the international hotel which I first spotted last night when I had to make a run from work for the chef to fetch some ice cream XD
It felt strange taking pics of another hotel, but i really wanted to take lighty tree pics as I planned on going to Wasall illuminations tomorrow but when I looked it up on the nets it turns out they've closed it for the next 3 years!! Guess I shouldn't have procrastinated about going last year ;x

Mmmm...autumny

Today I didn't have a lot to do so i went out to take a pic of the only thing I could think of XD This is the bonfire they're building for the Donnington Bonfire on the 14th of Nov. I've not got to go the past couple of years, but i've booked it off this year so I really hope I get to go. It's always crowded with chavs & is freezing but I wanna get some cool photos of fireworks! =D
The other pic is just showing how nicely autumny it is around here, the season really is so much nicer when the sun shines :]

Today was pretty cool. Tony had left early in the morning to go help finish breaking up the camper, so when I got up I had the house to myself as dad was out too. I had some mail, even though it is the first day of the sodding postal strikes, so I opened that, it was random stuff for the pullips.
I decided after some net dossings tha I wanted to learn something new today (so it wasn't a complete waste ;p) so I went on youtube and learnt to make an origami crane! I <3 the internet.
Then I went out as the sun had come out, I had a place in mind where I wanted to take photos, as you'll see ;D
Then I went onto Asda & then Staples as I wanted to have a look for Stickers for a forum swap I'm involved in, before sort of realising I've got a ton at home I can swap with :]
It was a pretty slow but fun day, I like days where I can get lots of random pictures!

My very first Crane!

Today was another difficult day pic wise, but later on in the day we nipped up town as we both had the day off. I'd taken the first pic on the way over to my house from Tony's, but it's pretty plain, unfortunatly the better pic I got (and only other for today) blurred cause it was just about to rain so I had to photo on the move in a murky atmosphere! Oh well, roll on better pics!

So sunny, so leafy!

Today wasn't eventful either really, but it was alot better than yesterday. First I got up and went down the sorting office to pick up a small parcel, it just turned out to the the charger I ordered for my DS, boring! XD
When I came home I went on the pc a little but it was sooo sunny outside so I took pics of Paise outside for a while, then lay in the sun for a while more XD For Octobe the weather is awesome!
Then we went out and I dropped Tony off at Pauls, explored some roads a bt then came home and cleaned out the mini a little. I don't know quite how it got so full of crap, it's amazing how much those side pockets in the back can hold I think!
I went to the PI to try and get my uniform back from the drycleaner but it wasn't there, so Heather was not happy when I came in later on in my white shirt, but it is the stupid german bosses' fault for not letting us wash our clothes at home! I prob won't get my uniform till Monday now.
Oh, I drove the sei, Terry around a bit today too!

Today was fairly relaxed, when we got out and about Tony wanted to take his baja out so we went to Ketley. Robbed my batteries for the romote though so no pics from there xp
We went to have a look in Tesco, then went back to Tony's house, pretty much just dossed in the kitchen for about an hour talking with his parents & playing with Brandy and then I ran him to work.
At home I had tea and then had to go onto work, was slow tonight but was just not in the mood to be there as only boys were in, I don't usually mind but they are competing between each other atm for a supervisor position and not admitting it, it's a lot more annoying that it sounds. xp

Wow, I'm horrible at keeping up with LJ lately. Today we didn't get home till 12.00, and it was all foggy outside. Considering that's not uber early & the weather there were so many people on the roads! I tried to get some pics of the lights in the fog but really only this pic came out.
When we woke up we chatted to Tony's mum for a bit and I got some random pics, then we went out to Asda and got a bunch of Rockstar Juiced- my new favorite energy drink XD (was gonna take a pic for the photo challenge, but it's not really a sweet) I went home and played on the pc for a while and had tea, then went and got Tony cause we had to be in work for 5, thought last night was a late one, tonight is gonna be fun x/

Today I tried this and that, once we were up we went for a little drive about looking for something to see, but although we found the odd country road I don't think I've been down, I kept coming back to boring places I knew, so we gave up and went home XD
I was on the pc for a wbit, then Dad was going down the postbox on his bike, so I went along too XD I haven't had a bike ride in over a year I think XD I'm so bad at riding, and it tired me out to probably do only about a mile? Still, it was fun for a change.
It was the only photo I got today too...

Well, lets get on with this XD I've managed two entries today so lets actually get into October...
Of which today I don't actually think I got up to much, I've got a bunch of random pictures from around home and I can't remember what else I did so you may as well just look at the pics!

I think I took this last year too

Today me and Dad went to Wolves for a small trip out. On the way there we saw a tank in a layby, so e went back and asked the guys if they'd let me take a picture of it, which as you can see, they did! We went onto a street just outside Wolves where there are a load of conker trees, but strangely enough, not that many conkers...of course, we still got a couple of pocket fulls! Then we went to West Park to find some squirrels & I wanted to get some photos XD We wandered about, the weather was nice and a tiny bit sunny and we chucked some conkers at the squirrels, which sounds not so nice, but they could chase them, grab them in their mouths then go bury them under a pile of leaves (oh yeah, no one but you will ever find that again, squirrel) we also gave them monkeys nuts which were too tasty to bury. We also looked in the big greenhouse and played on the floor chimes, it was fun for only a couple of hours x3

Today I went out with Dad to Ironbridge after I'd spent a while trying to fix Harley's head to stop it flopping/messing with the eyemech. I just can't get it right atm.
We went to the brewery first, they had a real fire! It reminded me of New Zealand X3 We had a small walk to a park behind the old furnaces after the brewery, this was the place I was supposed to go the other day when I ended up at Lincoln Grange. I remembered there being a ship here for kids to play on, but apparently it has been gone a long time now. The park is pretty bare without it.
We went to Madeley next to check out the progress of the chestnuts. The trees are totally packed with them this year, but it looks like it'll be another couple of weeks or so before they are ready, the ones falling off at the moment are white & tiny. We had a look about Madeley centre then, it is completely changing with the new large Tescos they are building, they have knocked down half the centre.
We got tea when we got home, a fry up! It was good x3

Guess what? ;D

Today we woke up pretty late cause we didn't get to sleep till about 4.30ish, and we over my house (once I'd got Tony away from a film) to say Hi to Dad who came back from the caravan yesterday. He was making jam and so we went to Shrews like we sorta planned when we woke up to go check out the chinese, we haven't been in months now and of course it hasn't really changed much- only they do hash browns now- obviously, exactly the type of chinese food I was after xp It's like they ran out of ideas for chinese food and just gave up and used English xp
We left just before 4 and went to Toys R Us, and they had the new ponies but they were more expensive than the ones I saw in Asda the other day so I left them. I'm not too keen on these new 'G4' ponies, but I'll get a couple for the collection, and a couple more of the little baby ones cause they are cute, then I suppose I'll have to wait and see if Hasbro sees the error of it's ways xp
I dropped Tony off at his brothers on the way home & took the single phot for today- a slightly autumny tree, woo! I was gonna take some more pics of the gerbs outside in the cage but it was nicer just to enjoy the time instead of hassling them with the camera again.
My Seicento has it's MOT tomorrow, I hope it goes through okay. Me and Dad sorta made sure everything we could think of was okay, so hopefully it won't loose a wheel on the way to the test centre and it'll go through with minors at best *dreaming*

It's a treeeee

Today I didn't know what to do again so I went and asked Dad if he was going out anywhere and after I helped vacuum the house we did :] First we went to a bridge...i don't really know how to explain it, it's an old showy bridge in the middle of countryside XD We walked a small path that ended up being overgrown so we walked back, exploring and taking pics of course. Then we went onto Acton Burnell to look at the church & castle of course! I took Paisley too as I'd just rechipped her earlier too, she has bluuuue eyes now X3 After we had explored Acton Burnell and sat and enjoyed the sunshine a while we went on to drive about the countryside a bit and found a cool view, and hayfields to take pictures of and then we found a tiny chapel! We explored the chapel too, it was one of the first buildings to be saved by the english heritage too as it's insides are all original 17th century. The key was left in the door too, we were surprised it hadn't been stolen XD
Also, cause I have so many pictures you guys don't see on this journal cause they can be somewhat repetitive and/or I already have too many for one day, I was thinking of starting up another secondary journal as like an overrun for this one? Like today I got a bunch of good pics of the different countryside & castle and stuff but I didn't want to overload here since I'm 'supposed' to only use 3 pictures a day (a rule I've been breaking quite a lot recently) & I never post pictures from days that I haven't taken them on, so if I don't use them on one day then I either have to re-take it another day or just forget about it. The new journal would either only be updated on days where I take loads of pictures I like and have already posted something similar for this LJ or it could also be like a picture a day, like a single picture but from the past rather than this one which only has that day's pictures on each day...does that make sense? So, what do you think basically, would you look at another photo journal? When I take too many pics in one day or daily of photos taken days or months before? Please help me & comment with your thoughts ♥

Today the guy who won the mini moto off ebay came to pick it up. He said he would arrive about 12, so while we were waiting I decided I wanted to charge the Seicento's battery, so I plugged it in. While it was charging the guy came and seemed very impressed with the moto and so that was good. He was buying it as a present for a 4 year old, and Tonys mum wouldn't let a 13 year old on it XD it conked out as the bloke had a go on it of course, but it just turned out to be the petrol. I stayed at home a bit then while Tony went to mess with stuff over his house, but he came back after a while to be run down to his and Pauls new 'racetrack'. After doing a sudoku I went home and put tea in then went out in the backyard to take photos when it started to rain ;d it was only when I'd gone inside that i realised the washing was still out there, so I had to rush out and get it too XD Tony then called cause he was getting soaked so I went and picked him back up.
What an eventful day xp

Today I finally got my logbook back for the mini but as Dad wasn't around today Tony's parents took me to the post office to tax it and then down the garage to collect it :3 It didn't want to start at first but after some fiddling with the 'points' it worked fine :3
I drove it to work tonight too, it was great X3 Though I am a little nervous of it, esspec the manual choke.

I have walked up town more times this week than I ever thought i would...and still not found anything decent to buy XD
Today i went up primarily to try and convince the post office to tax my car with the out-of-date green slip I got in place of the log book. The queue was huuuuge (out the door) but luckily there was a lady going through the line and she checked my documents, only she noticed and I was like 'O rly? I never knew, sry sry sry, isn't it weird I don't have my logbook' Lulz.
So it was a waste of time but worth a shot XD
On the way home though I saw this robin and it was really close so i got the camera out fast as I could and it just watched me, and then it let me follow it when it was bored of having pics taken of it XD I was really close to it, only a couple of metres, but the camera makes it look like i was ages away...i can't wait till I have a camera with a good zoom!

I'm not sure what I did today but it doesn't matter cause i did figure out how to get photos from the camera onto an SD card, so now I can show you the ones from a few days ago that I took when I went to the caravan :3 Only shame is I didn't take one of the big building behind the campsite, or it's dungeon-y like basement, but I suppose that's a pic for next time I go then :3
I will put those pics on the old entry i did for that day, which is here.
Todays pics though include the awesomeness of 'strong' caffeine fizzy pop and the new gate the coucil have installed over the park after the chav kids who loiter after sunglasses girl and co. wrecked the old one.

OMG! A new gate!

Today I had to get up early to run the mini keys down to Tony and get some petrol for it so it could be driven up to it's MOT. Once i'd done all that I came home and did some odd stuff on the PC, then went upstairs to sit in the warm in jens room and do some puzzles in a book, but i'd only done one when i fell asleep XD I slept till 1, when dad came up and said he was going to Wolves, so I went too.
We went round 3 different places looking at beermats, well, dad looked while I stayed in the car X3 It was a good drive even though the mats weren't any good and we got home just in time to put tea on.
I didn't have work tonight like I thought as apparently it was very quiet so they cancelled me and instead me, Tony and his siblings went over the park and watched fireworks Tony lit for half an hour, the rest of the night i didn't do much though.
Oh, btw the mini passed! Woo! Just needs it's windscreen wipers replacing apparently, the other stuff that was picked up was only minor or easily dealt with.

Today I dropped Tony off at work and came home after taking a few pics to meet with Phil on msn. She wasn't on though, so after about an hour of messing about on the nets Tony came home and we went up town cause him mum had said she would go halves with him in a new leather jacket he'd seen. It's pretty cool, it has the red bull logos on it, so instant win really ;p
We did odd shopping in the town, which although was cool was also odd after so much time with very little money, it almost seemed wrong to spend it XD
At work there was a hallow'een party and Tony wanted to try out his jacket so went by bike, while i was ahead in the car. It was about 15mins after I had already been there that Tony got there too, it turns out that not only had the bike not wanted to go and took ages to start by bump starting it up and down the road, but then at the Asda roundabout some car just cut in front of him and he braked to avoid hitting it and the bike went from under him ;d He had to push it all the way to work as it wouldn't start and I drove him home before going back to work myself to deal with the hallow'een party. I got a pumpkin from it, I may be able to get a pic of it at some point ;p
Anyway, luckily Tony wasn't hurt badly considering, though not one sod stopped for him when they could see he had fallen off at the island. He has hurt his hand and it was quite swollen and got a grazed knee and sore arms from landing so hard, and the brand new 125 quid jacket? Luckily it too only got a scratch on the shoulder.

Mining equipment, anyone?
