Glad to hear he is well

By Amazon, Friends & Family, Gigs & Shows, Life, Love & Relationships, ThinkingNo Comments

I was killing some time before the panto (went to see Alladin with my mum & gran this weeknd), window shopping shoes and listening to the new Girls Aloud Album on my iPod. When all of a sudden out of no where someone appeared in my face and said Hi.

It was an ex-partner. I was glad to hear hear he was well. I am pleased it was not awkard, we were able to catch up and then go our own seperate ways.

Panto was good fun and made better by the fact David came round afterwards.

Write about random events soon,

Christmas Cards

By Friends & Family, Life, ThinkingNo Comments

Hello All,

If you are pagan, you will know there is a lack of affordable Yule cards. I’m not sure if it’s because of it being a niche market or to do with pagans views on saving the environment.

Anyway, the majority of my family and friends are Christian and as such send Christmas cards.

I have got underway with my address book. I’ve found wonderful friends that for various reasons (distance, time, etc.) I only seem to communicate with once a year. It’s such a shame that these wonderful people, many of whom where a big part of my life have moved on, as have I.

Does this happen to you? I imagine it’s just part of life. People moving on.

Write soon,

Antony

Blast from the past & Eagle Eye

By Friends & Family, The Web, Thinking, TV, Online Streaming & FilmsNo Comments

I recently had a message on facebook from a old school mate, talk about a blast from the past! It was nice to hear off the person in question, if not a little odd.

This is the thing about facebook, it allows all mannors of people from your past to get in touch with you. Some you would like and some you may not. Now whilst I don’t mind this person getting in touch, I have had others add me as a friend that I’ve chose to ignore. Sometimes you past is your past for a reason.

In other news…David and I went watching Eagle Eye this weekend. It was an action film about two people who were being instructed to do things for an unknown purpose. It was all action. The story line was weak and easily worked out. A film that is worth watching once to say you’ve seen – but not worth buying on DVD.

Tomorrow I am going to see The Feeling, so excited.

A Visit to Simon’s

By Friends & Family, Life, Music & RadioNo Comments

This evening I have been to visit my good friend Simon. I am glad to see he is well and I got the opportunity to give him some TLC. Whilst there I found this interesting article: http://www.virginmedia.com/music/news/weekinmusic/080919.php

"Amy and Madonna get LEGO makeover

Amy and Madonna get LEGO makeover

LEGO has celebrated the 30th anniversary of its minifigures by commissioning mock-ups of stars including Amy Winehouse (left), Madonna (right) and Cliff Richard. Sadly the figures aren’t set to go into production – alongside the likes of Jacko, Lennon and Elvis – but it’s one step closer to LEGO immortality for Winehouse and co."

I always had lego from being a small child. It’s nice to know even with all the computer consoles on the market, that lego is still part of most children’s childhood. It develops so many skills in children including:

  • Physical Development – Fine motor skills including the pincer grip.
  • Creative Development – Develops imagination.
  • Social Development – Develops skills in sharing and negociation.
  • Cognitive Development – Develops problem solving skills.
  • Emotional Development – It helps children express their emotions.

I often wonder what skills the computer consoles develop and if they have the same dramatic influence on development as these physical toys?

But I have wondered off the point… Back to my visit with Simon.

We had a good catch up, over a brew. Then as I was leaving I couldn’t spot the candle I had made him last year as a Halloween present. I asked him where it was and he stated that he had accidently burn’t it, having another one quite simliar to it. I had given it to him with the expressed permission that he wouldn’t burn it as it was the first candle I had ever made. But him, being a dists he did. I had to laugh, it’s a Simon(ism).

This was the candle in question:

Simon hasn’t been well recently. He stated that he had burn’t it and afterwards started to feel and get much better. I had charged it with some lovely energy. So although I would never say that it was because of something I did, he got better. The energy may have had a positive influence in the process.

Overall it was nice to see him, especially with him looking so well. He really was on top form. We both need to make more of an effort to see each other more.

Take Care,

Antony
