Yup I have ben avoiding the LJ, just the posting bit really xp My keyboard on my pc is so horrible to type on it puts me off doing it at all, which is a shae cause I really like it, but it needs to be something else, like a decoration. It's simply not a practical object.
Today I got up a little early an since there was no one else about but it was a lovely day, I sat outside and decided what to do. The weather has been great lately, like BBQ style XD
I went for a mini walk and got some cherry & plum branches hich are covered in blossom for the gerbs to have a munch at, so much cheaper than buying them in bundles from the pet shop!

So many future cherries

Got a bit of a run of single-photo days at the moment it seems. Today was really rainy and bleh and all I could think of to take a pic of was my bonsai. Been a while since you've seen the bonsai, that's cause about Nov/Dec most it's leaves fell off and I'm not sure what it's problem was, as it's supposed to be a bit of an evergreen, but now it's back in the front window and seems to be noticing that's it's spring! I think it will grow really well this year x3

Spring leaves <3

Today me and dad went to check out the new Tesco in Madeley and have a little drive about. Tesco wasn't very exciting but Dad got some easter eggs xp~ On the way home I saw these Daffodils! They're the fist ones I've seen this year, except on the tv of course, I even asked dad to go back so i could take a pic of them!

See daffodils zomgs

Today I got some better pictures :3 It was a pretty good day, fairly sunny and even though I was in work early I actually got a few pics I was happy with and didn't even have to take my camera into work ;p I even managed to clean out 2 of the gerbil cages, it was really productive till I had to go to work at 3 ;p
Oh the last pic is for Jen to show some of Tai's toys. Spot the gerbil!

It's Shakespere!

Okay, last one of f-list spam ;p I'm nearly caught up too woop! No doubt it won't take me long to fall behind again.
Today I didn't get up to a lot, me and Tony went up town.
The crocuses are growing in our garden, I don't remember this bunch growing here before, but we don't seem to have many crocuses left so these are pretty welcome :3
The second pic is just for fun, the tills at Asda discount te specials as you go along, but it just looks like the machine can't add XD Well, I find it funny anyway.
Guess which album I've been listening to for the past 3 entries!

Today we went to Wolves as a sorta last min thing XD We haven't been in a while and so it was about time to look around again. We went round a few of the shops, normals like the DVD shop, and also to Entertainer (where they had a cruddy selection of MLPs ;d). I wanted to feed the squirrels at west park and bought some pistachios, which can't be very good for them, but I couldn't find monkey nuts ;x only we didn't have time in the end so I'll have to save them for next time we go!
The pics of the pullip under the cut cause she got new clothes again, Jen should recognise these!

Have you ever seen such a pretty tulip?

Wasn't sure what to do today, but we had stuff to do when we got up, then my new tyres came into the garage I'd rung yesterday about it and I had to go in at 3.30. I seemed a bit early when I got that way so we had a 5 min look at Priorslee lake first. There was only 1 baby to be seen from the parking place, I may have to go for a walk soonish and try and see some ducklings.
The tyre place was a bit of a wait but i watched a cartoon on their TV and then me and Tony checked out the poundshop next door. After a bit the wheel were all fitting so not bad at all :3

Gooses & single baby goose! xp

It was beautifully sunny again today and after going out I wanted to walk somewhere, but could only think of Apley park, so that's where we went. It's a nice place to walk about, esspecially on nice days, even though you don't see much there very often once you know the place XD I did see some squirrels arguing though and some other squirrels watching them!
When we came home it was still nice so I put the gerbils out and they got a bit scared at first but then sorta got used to it. I didn't want to bring them straight back in as I want to be able to put them out a bit more for something else to explore. Tony polished the mini and blackened the underside while I watched the gerbs and had tea. It looks good!

Washy face gerb!

I was gonna go out to a place called Market Drayton today as some market was on that I heard about on the news last week, but then Tony's mum rang and said we could have Sunday dinner over there at 2 if we liked, so we did and then by the time we'd finished we didn't really have time. Tony robbed my DS to play a new game I'd got which he found he likes- a mechanic game XD I fell asleep for a bit and when i woke up I decided we had to go out as it was a nice day but since it was about 4 now I decided to go to Wroxeter. I haven't been there in ages but I keep being reminded about it by the turning on the way to Shrewbury. It was closed when we got there, but it didn't matter as I was planning on being pikeyish and just looking over the fence anyway, which gives you just as good a view XD There were lambs in the paddock over which distracted me considerably but when the sun came out I got some good pics and then we went back a different way for the view :3

Spent most of today messing about the house, once the sun came out though I went and took some pics in the garden, other than that pretty much just enjoyed the warmth x3
When Tony got home he tried to put his savage together but the bolts weren't working so we went out to get some self-tapping screws and then to asda to get some bits and bobs. Tony tried to put his savage together while I made tea, curried sausages! I haven't had any since I was in NZ so it was an okay change as it turned out alright! Better washing of the rice next time though XD

First tulip in the garden <3

Ah it's a Daffodil special day! I did have a couple of other pics I could've posted today but since I went out for a quick walk to the stafford park island (what? I said it was a quick walk! XD) and found this great string of so many different daffs, and it is spring, I thought a day special would be better than a week (which I probably could of done XD) Considering these are 'wild' daffs, there are so many different types! Not up to much today otherwise...I think we just had a quick trip to B&Q and then to the garage again so Tony could get some stuff for extending his savage XD

Coolest daffs EVAR x333

And cue the week of hard to get photos....cause the weather has been getting worse again and now I don't have a working car to explore with either (not that i ever am sure where to go Xp). So today I don't really remember what I did, it was pretty bright out...oh, I read outside while Tony polished his bike :3 Yesterday was lovely for reading, today i needed a blanket ;/
On the way home I got today's pic, most the cherry trees are in blossom now and already some of the petals are beggining to fall, it like one of the japanese cartoons ;p Who needs to go to Japan during the spring when we've got the same here in england? ;p

Today Tony went to Pauls and I sorta had a quick clean up of my room before finding something to take a pic of =D It wasn't very sunny today so it wasn't worth sitting out, instead I messed with a flag on the mini trying to see what it'd look like with a St Georges flag painted on the bonnet XD I dunno really, what do you think?
With all this nice weather lately makes me wanna travel or go somewhere. Tony wanted us to go to the beach tomorrow with his brother, but unfortunatly I'm working. Hopefully we'll be able to go soon, before the weather turns sucky again :3

Today was really nice out, sunny and really wanted to go somewhere, but we just couldn't think where to go. We came over my house to bother Dad while he was sunbathing and reading and he said he'd take us to the Cider House near Bridgnorth. We went out and got quite lost around the county lanes and didn't find the cider house XD It's so hidden for a place trying to sell stuff! So we went along another lane dad knows and ended up by the river, right as the ice cream van turned up! First whippy of the year X3 We went to another place Dad knows then, which had a folly that we walked up to, it is in the middle of an estate that looks like a lovely place to sit and do nothing in particular in summer, so looks like we'll have to come back at some point!

Today we weren't sure what to do so a drive about seemed in order. I like doing drive abouts but I seem to find it hard to leave Telford, just end up going round in circles Xp Today though we did manage to get a bit out of Telford, to Newport. Tony hadn't seen the B&M there yet to compare it to the others, and it seemed a mild excuse to go out there and see what we could see anyway XD
We went via Prioslee, where the local kids made this big red nose in the grass near a garden center (RND was yesterday, but I didn't know about it till it said in last night newspaper), then onto Newport, where I failed to find the canal again, I have a better idea of where it might be though XD Then home again. It was a pretty standard trip but something to do so all good :3
I made these nests last night at about 11 XD Meant to do them for ages in the tiny patty pans, but now they're done, look cute too x3

Nest cake, anyone?

Good old Friday the 13th...again, of course nothing happened ;p But we did go to Wolves to pick up those new mini stalks I bought off ebay. Indicators still didn't work all the way but I don't think we caused too much havok, even when we got a bit lost a couple of times ;x overall though it wasn't too bad, we couldn't find the house number but luckily going in a mini for mini bits pretty much gives you away when you drive up and down a pretty secluded street ;p
I took the pic on the way back, cause the crocuses looked so nice from the road in all the different colours :3 Also, there was the baby daff, aww x3
When we got home we were just in time for tea, Roast chicken nomnom =D

Lots of spring flowers

We went out and about today, first to Apley park where we walked about a bit and my digicam messed up for awhile, then to Morrisons, on the way there Tony figured out what was wrong with the camera (wasn't reading the memory card, but was acting really strange) so we went back to Apley park and I grabbed a couple of pics I'd missed uot on earlier. Apley park is covered in snowdrops too ;D So you get more pics of them =D just wait till the doffodils bloom... XD
I ran Tony to Halesfield so he could run his petrol car there with paul. Work tonight.
