A Long FANTASTIC Bank Holiday Weekend

By Friends & Family, Happiness & Joy, Pets4 Comments

What a fantastic weekend it’s been!

Friday I saw my friend Simon, had a brew and a long overdue catch up.

Saturday some new tables arrived. I’d bought some gorgeous small tempered black glass ones to replace the chunky wooden ones I had. This made room for the kitten climbing centres I bought. Shaun (my long lost brother, blog post coming soon to explain, promise) came round and helped me build them. Bless him, he had only come round for a brew. We had a good day, just talking and building the tables. It was ace to spend some brotherly bonding time together.

Sunday I went seeing the kittens. Oh how big they’ve gotten in three weeks! And they’ve now got names! Of course, I’ve got photos for you:

Today (Monday) I went out for a drive with my good friend JB. We went to a nice country pub for lunch in his flashy Honda S2000 Yellow Convertible. Then we headed to one of my favourite places for ice cream:

Hope you had an equally fantastic bank holiday, roll on the next one!

Take care,

Antony

Getting Motivated Again…

By Happiness & Joy, Life, ThinkingNo Comments

Sometimes in life things hit you out of the blue and knock your motivation (see My Darling Baby Brother & Grief). Recently all I’ve done is work, eat, sleep, more sleep. But then, inevitably things come along that get you motivated again.

I don’t what it was for me: the kittens (see New editions to the family), the 5,000 word assignment that I finished last weekend (which gave me a sense of achievement, pride and relief), the increased exercise, better diet or time spent with family and friends. Perhaps it was a combination of them all.

All I know is that I’m feeling motivated again and starting to be more productive with my time, doing things I enjoy. It feels great.

Blog soon,

Antony

Partying – despite the weather

By Friends & Family, Happiness & Joy2 Comments

Despite the cold, icy, snowy weather bringing the country to a stand still (well according to the papers, like we believe what we read!), I’ve been out partying.

I was kindly invited by Sye’s mum to her birthday. A good time was had by all. I had fun dancing, badly, with the subtly of an elephant. Yes, I am ashamed to say that I stepped on Sye’s toes once or twice.

So now the photos, taken on my iPhone4 (Click on photos for full size image):

Write soon,

Back Home

By Happiness & Joy, HomeNo Comments

It’s took a while, but I’m finally back home! The tenant left my apartment in excellent condition, for which I am extremely grateful. It’s been my first weekend back home in the smaller second bedroom (see photos below) so that I can rent out the master bedroom with it’s en-suite for some extra income.

(Where the magic happens, by that I mean sleep)

So what have I done this weekend at home? I’ve been all domesticated, tidying up, cleaning and done plenty of home cooking using my slow cooker:

But I’m most proud of my Shepard’s Pie with cheese:

Think before I went to Benidorm I couldn’t cook, look at me now. Nothings better than a home cooked meal.

Take care,

Antony
