Today…

…I started doing up my car interior all Christmassy, not too much but just to give it some festive spirit. Mostly done, tinsel is up, a few pretty things are hanging and I just have lights to put in.

…We went into Coventry for the big lights switch on. People from Mercia (local radio station which I rarely listen to cos it plays pop crap all day long over and over again). It was wet and cold. There was a carnival which was pretty good. I got an Ikea balloon! - which I gave to Coco (Nicola’s cat). And doughnuts and candy floss, which is a must at these type of things. There were people everywhere, a bit odd for a Sunday night. Then Sky Blue Sam (CCFC mascot and local hero) did the big switch on. Apparently the Big Brother twins Sam and Amanda were there somewhere but it was getting very cold and not worth the effort to see (playing (or miming? well the Fast Food Rockers mimed pretty terribly at Nuneaton’s do a few years back) in a free pop concert for the rest of the evening).

…It started snooowwiiiiing!! Good end to a Christmassy day.

Also, is it wise to eat candy floss before bed? I don’t mean before as such, I mean munching it IN bed while tapping out a (rare! lol) blog entry moments before going to sleep (I’ve been up since midnight working all morning very early although lovely to get the afternoon off).

Firstly you may notice a few changes. New look with my dad’s jungle cat taking the part of the header image. I’ll drop the full image at the end of this post. And a matching green background. I call it the jungle cat because since my grandparents got the ‘lively’ new dog Sammy, the cat (Kenny) has been scared of going indoors lately. So often lurks in their front garden, amongst the greenery.

Been spending so much time out recently it’s unbelievable. Spent a lot of time with N over the last few days, eating out a bit and went to see Evan Almighty too (really good film). Great company, it’s been really nice. Tomorrow night we’re thinking of driving out into the sticks with a picnic or something to watch the meteor shower, depending on the weather also. Or maybe just stay in the garden or whatever. Would be nice if we can see them, only seen a couple of odd meteors over the last few years, hardly anything.

Been so hot recently, still need to get some sort of sun tan (finish what I started back in Ireland) but rain is forecast for tomorrow onwards, but who knows what will actually happen. Camping later in the weekend so no doubt it’ll be guaranteed to rain! Rain, sun, snow, does it matter camping will still be nice whatever the weather.

Hope you are all having a good weekend.
