Today sucked. We drove to Hull to go see Tony's Great grandad as he has wanted to talk with him for quite a while, but when we got there, he was in an ambulance Xdd The doctor had rushed him in as although he thought he was fine, the doctor thought he had a bloodclot in his lung. So Tony didn't really get to talk to him and was quite upset as he was afraid he wouldn't get another chance to see him (his Dad died of a bloodclot, so its quite raw). So we chatted with one of his grandads friends who happened to be visiting and she reassured us, he does things like this now and then, and then to Mel's sister who turned up, and we left about 4 and went back home for a little while.
As it was our last night there, me and Tony told Mel to take us out to a place he liked and we'd get dinner, so that's what we did, it was really nice too.
I'm not 100% what the thing in his great grandads lung turned out to be, but he is out of hospital now so it seems a bit like a bit of badly-timed bad luck! Hopefully we will go up again soon as Tony really wants to talk with him.

On the way there

Current Mood: disappointed

Tony was still pretty ill today so he stayed home after we'd nipped out for some rock and me, Mel & Mel's mate went out to the sealife centre. I'd wanted to go all week and cause Tony was sick I think Mel felt he should take me, I felt a little bad about that as he didn't enjoy himself much, his mate seemed to think it was fun though XD
Everyone knows what's in a sealife centre, so here's some of the better pics I managed to take. The weather was awful today too with mist, the first pic is a photo of the fancy huge hotel XD

It's there, honest!

Current Mood: rushed

Today we went to York! It took a bit of fussing as we meant to get the train, but then we found out the station was only running buses while they repaired the lines. Mel was not happy and refused to pay train fares for a bus, so we went by car XD York is such a beautiful place! It has some tiny streets and lots of modern things too, it really is a lovely city. First we went to the Minster, I kept calling it a cathedral but apparently you should not, because it is a minster....as it turns out it has a sodding cathedral built into it and to me looked like a massive church anyway! It was really beautiful though, luckily we went on a day when they were only holding minimal services so we didn't have to worry about avoiding those (Not that it's a problem for me, I'd just rather not get in their way!) so after a bit of an explore there we went on to get some foods & find a pharmacy as Tony wasn't feeling well, he seemed to have the same thing Mel had only was taking it a little worse. After some lunch we went to look at a small round castle, I climbed to the thing and took some pictures, but didn't go in. When I met back up with the other 2, Tony wasn't good at all so Mel thought it was probably best if we went home. So we shall have to visit York again sometime! I would like to go with my big camera & take some pictures that aren't skewed (I don't know what was wrong with me at the cathedral but every. single. one. of my photos is off one way or the other xdd) and explore the basements & tower some more, I would also like to maybe climb the castle for the view and then look at the roman walls which we only saw a tiny bit of XD Next time then.

Tudor houses everywhere

Current Mood: cold

Today we went on a bit of a tour about even though Mel wasn't feeling very well. First we went to Whitby to have a look about, it's the town Bram Stoker's Dracula is based in :] We got breakfast and had a look about, took some photos of course and that, even played on the slotties for a little while but didn't make it up to the castle for some reason, I think it was because Mel didn't feel good (he didn't tell us at the time) after a couple of hours we went onto Pickering. It was further away than I realised but was still a nice town. We got there just in time to see the steam train come in :] This is the place where Heartbeat films it's station scenes.

Today we went to Yorkshire with Tony's Grandad, Mel :] It took us quite a while to get there, but I fell asleep for most the way so I didn't notice too much xp
We went back to Mel's first and had some tea and a bit of a relax, then went out to explore! He lives about 5 mins from the beach at Scarborough, so cool x3 So we walked along the beachfront and Mel pointed things out to us that were of interest, a lot has happened in Scarborough, I hadn't realised what an important town it used to be.
First is the giant hotel in Scarborough built in Victorian times I believe. Then I was lucky enough to be there when they were setting out a lifeboat for practice. The third some should recognise? And lastly is Scarborough lighthouse :]

Massive hotel

Current Mood: aggravated

Today was really sunny and so after nipping here and there sorting things out with Tony, I went home and just sat in the front garden reading mangas XD I got Spyro out away from Hugo for a while and we both sat out the front, then I took a few pics of her on the fence ;p Tony called me to say his new car had arrived at the top of the street, so I went to have a mooch, it is red. Apparently it is a Nissan 300zx, but i don't know alot more about it. Don't ask.
The sunset tonight was really nice too, I spent quite a few minutes running arod the house trying to get the best pic. Oh, all these photos are taken with my old Casio QV-R61, borrowed back from Dad, no more messing about with the phone photos for now.

Current Mood: excited

Today was an okay day for photos :] We had lots to do today as we were gonna go to Yorkshire tomorrow, but as it turned out we put it off till Tuesday. So we got half of we we needed to get doe done then I spent some time mooching round the house for pics, so I posed my monster high dolls outside, took a few pics of the sunset, wich looked awesome, then got a pic of Titch, the smallest baby dragon :3

rly? yeah!

Current Mood: good

Well, I was doing pretty well to be caught up, but now I may be a littleeee behind again. Fail. Well today wasn't too interesting and as i was wandering about the garden i just got pics of a couple of the plants.
First pic first as it's a little dull. I actually missed yesterday too as it took me a little while after midnight to realise I'd forgotten to take a pic x.X

Another day where I didn't do much, I can't really remember what I did but i got back from town or something and took these couple of pics so I'd have a picture for today. The one under the cut is Atlas, I really don't understand why he is the only one of the 4 brothers who insists on chewing the wire in this corner. I've been waiting ages to get this pic, today he was a little too absorbed in his chewing x3
Tomorrow I go to Aber, so I hope to get some cool pictures x3

Current Mood: geeky

I did hardly anything today & got quite bored so about 3 I went out to explore, using some flimsy excuse on myself to get myself out the house XD I visited Asda for bits then still had time before I had to go pick Tony up from work to visit Sainsburys too. There was something I was looking for that I couldn't find in asda, anyway all I ended up with was some cakes from this display XD
Oh, and the last pic? Well, lets put it this way, someone paid this for a single mixer (less than 1/2 pint) sized Orange juice on room service, for a little perspective, if you need it, that's about $6.60 US dollars, and about $9.20 NZ dollars!! People are idiots.

They do look nom, don't they? ;D

( And one from work I thought was amusing...excuse phone pics please )

Current Mood: tired

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!

Very old advert

( More Bridgo Pics )

Current Mood: thoughtful

Today was Tony & I's 3rd anniversary! ♥ It sure doesn't seem quite so long, and yet in another way it seems longer XD Strange how time works.
We just wanted to spend the day together really and didn't have much planned so we went up town for a mooch. I don't think we even bought anything particually XD We went along to Asda after so I coud get Tony some batteries for his remote control cars' controller so he stops robbing mine & I can take pics while he uses his car! Then we went back to his house for some dossings & watching comedy programs :]
Popped back to mine around tea time & said Hi to Dad, then went out for tea. Came back around 8 and watched some more series, then put on The Young Ones...boring show from the same people who did Bottom ;/ Made us both go to sleep!
It was a good day anyway, just fun to spend some time together ♥

Current Mood: happy

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

( & those other things I described )

Current Mood: bored

Catching up...catching up...
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 :]

Current Mood: procrastinating

Today I got up a tiny bit early to go out with Dad. Tony wanted to put a new engine in his baja so he stayed at home.
First we went to Bilston to look at the market. It was fairly interesting but never seems to change visit-to-visit. Dad found some sweets and also got some pork chops. And some more sweets xp he also got a toy for the gerbils. We got some lunch and ate in the car, then went onto Wolves.
We looked around the normal places in Wolves, Forbidden Planet has put the price of manga up :c one of my favorite mangas is now £7.99 per book! Amazon from now on by the looks of it.
Dad put an ad in the express & star paper, and then we went and looked at the market.
We were on our way home by 2.30, but it did seem we'd done plenty.
Pics of the boys with their new toy. Moss does the right thing by exploring, Dmitri leaves him to it to do the gerbil thing of killing that surely dangerous cardboard that has suddenly appeared in the cage xp

How many eggs do you need?!

Current Mood: relieved

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!

( & venturing outside... )

Current Mood: lethargic

Today was a pc dossings kind of day at first as I wasn't sure what to do I think. Tony went to work at 5ish after helping break up his step-dads camper truck thing, but its not all done yet. I had the night off tonight =D I took some pics outside with Mosaic cause I'm sick of not having any pics to see, but as it turns out I got a few pics today anyway.
I went up town with Dad later on just for a mooch about, there isn't much new up there as usual and we pretty much just got sweets from poundland (in the last pic!). We went to the library too ans i got some books that look okay, I would like to start reading again and mot just skimming the web xp So saying, I spent the rest of the night on the nets! Go me.

It's a robin :3

( Just different things :3 )

Current Mood: anxious

Today I went out to Wellington with Dad. Usually Wellington is dead on Wednesdays, but you can tell it's coming up Christmas cause most of it was open today, not bad! Some new shops had opened too so we had an explore :]
After Wellington we went out a strange way and found a chinese supermarket x3 I'd heard it had opened but didn't have any idea where it was, now I know! It's so cool, they sell some ramen pots I could only get in Aber before now, plus they have loads of other tasty looking noodles and snacks...also a lot of not tasty looking strange meats & stuff 0o I only got some mini mochi, same sort of thing I got from Shrews' Setonakai last time, looks like their use is deminishing now!
We went to Home Bargains and got more than we meant to and i took the only pic I got today- taken on Dads car.

Cheeky Snail

Current Mood: hungry

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!

( Just as leafy, not as sunny )

Current Mood: mellow

I really haven't actually done anything in the past week it seems where I've actually managed to get pics I'm happy with or think will be interesting to see for the day, like today where I pretty much stuck about the house and comped, so i just got this not-great pic of the gerbs together in their bowl...
Later when I went to pick Tony up (he had work tonight but i didn't) I took my camera randomly but got these pics. The one with Tony in wasn't supposed to be a serious pic but I kinda liked the way it turned out so there you go. The other is cause I love these trees we got in over the summer, they are so cool! They are real too btw.

Crummy shot
