Let you know when I’m back,
Antony
The last few weeks I have been packing for hopefully my move (see Things are changing…). The photo above is about three quarters of the stuff. In the next few weeks I will be packing the final bits ‘n’ bats.
I am due to move in the next few weeks – how exciting!
I tried to have a sort out whilst packing to get rid of things I don’t want or need. The thing is…I am a natural horder! I feel I need everything. I am always worried that something I throw away I will need next week?
(This has happened to me in the past. I’ve thrown something away and then then a few days later, had to go out and buy the item again.)
Are you a sheder or a horder? Post a comment and tell me!
Just thought I would share,
Antony
Hello Readers!
I am fustrated today as everything in relation to the apartment is in their hands. So who’s them? The house builder, the financial advisor, the bank, etc.
There is nothing more I can do at present and no way to speed the process up. I want to move as ASAP (see Not a Happy), but it looks as if there are going to be a few delays. This is why I am sooo fustrated. I guess I’ll get there, just things aren’t as straight forward as I thought they’d be.
On a positive note on Monday my Mum, Sandra (offical title my Step Nan) and I went watching Tina Turner (photos and a few clips to come soon promise).
With regards to David, he has adjusted to the inital shock that I as he puts it will soon “be a home owner”. I tell him off when he says this – I sometimes don’t feel grown-up enough to own my own home. Besides which the bank will technically own it for the first 35 years, so it will just be like renting (apart from I get to keep the place when I’m old(er)).
I’ll keep you all updated and promise to get the Tina Turner stuff online when I get a spare second.
My Love to All,
Antony x
Wow, it’s been busy.
It’s a lovely evening of chilled out blogging for me (I know it’s about time).
So lets catch up….
The other weekend David and I went to Alderley Edge. It’s kind of like an…well…an edge. A beautiful view (unfortunately I didn’t quite manage to get a picture. David and I had an intimate kiss – it was lovely. We did have to watch out for straight people about but that’s what you get when you live in a hetrosexual world.
I did manage to get a random picture of a cave:
(David and I had to sneak under the fence to get this – which was haliourious as David had a backpack on!)
In other news, I have rather naughtly started buying for the new apartment. I bought this kettle:
It is sooo camp and flashes all different colours when it does different things. – I know, us gays are attracted by bright multi coloured lights! As you have no doubt guessed, the apartment will be a gay one.
This weekend just gone David and I went to Manchester Minerals. We both bought various crystals (for a lot cheaper than they would be at various new age shops I might add). But I bought this big clear quartz:
I have decided I am going to buy one a month when possible to fill my new apartment, with positive, healing energy. David and I both knew that it was Ostara on Saturday (see Pagan Festivals) and although we did nothing specific. We did recognise (and buy the crystal) for my new home (new beginnings) as well as buying several
Orange, red, yellow and pink.
Crystals. Do you think that will do?
Sunday was Mothers Day and I went down for Sunday dinner at my mums. She cooks the absolute best Sunday dinners I have ever had! Gordan Ramsay – eat your heart out!
Mum and I watched the two Narnia Films, especially the Prince Caspian one that I haven’t seen. I realised that a lot of the film themes around sacrifice. If we made more sacrifice’s for one another, would the world be a better place? (Just a random thought there!)
Hope the update was worth the read. Coming soon, Tina Turner – photos and videos.
Hugs,
Antony
