A Lovely Day with Simon

By Friends & Family, ShoppingNo Comments

Today Simon and I went to Manchester Minerals and I bought this lovely quartz cluster:

(The picture really doesn’t do it justice. I did try many times to get a good picture, but the camrea on the BlackBerry Storm isn’t the best.)

It is beautiful and has loads of points. Ideal for using it to protect my new apartment. As well it has a hole on the inside that I can put other crystals in to charge.

After Manchester Minerals we went to the Trafford Centre and had a coffee and a to-die-for muffin. We then headed to dwell…(see my next ranty post for that story).

Thanks to Simon. I had a much-needed-after-recent-events lovely day.

Hugs,

Antony

This Weekend & The Cabinet

By Friends & Family, Home, LifeNo Comments

As you are probably aware from my previous post (see David & The Housewarming), I have canceled my housewarming. This ment I needed to make plans for the weekend. So Simon have decided to go to Manchester Minerals.

A few months ago I went with David and I saw this beautiful quartz cluster that was £200. Rather sensibly David suggested that I didn’t really need it and that there were more important things I needed for the apartment (see The Move). He was right. But Simon and I are going back to see if it’s still there, if It is I was meant to be.

Talking about things I want, do you remember The Cabinet? Well it’s been reduced, but it’s still expensive. I can visualise it in my living room. I guess I’ll have to see how much I get paid and really think about if it’s worth the price. I could even hold on to see if they reduce it more but there’s always a risk that they’ll sell out. What do you think I should do?

Blog soon,

Things are changing…

…and it’s all good!

I know I have started to feel stuck in a rutt. So I decided to get myself out of it!

I went to an apartment block to see if their were apartments to rent but soon discovered on entering the sales office that there weren’t. But with the encouragement of a work colleague (and friend) we viewed two apartments. The second I loved!

So yes, I’ve decided to buy. If I can. I have reserved it and am meeting with a Financial Advisor (who’m I have already been in communication with) and we are going to put an application in. So I don’t want to give any further details at present or supply photos, until I’m certain.

But if all goes well, I could be moving out of this house-share in 6 weeks or less! Yippee!

I would like to thank my family, friends and work colleagues who have had loads of open and honest conversations with me. You have been a invaluable source of support – allowing me to use you as sounding boards. However special thanks must go to (in no particular order): Simon, Mum & David. They have been fantastic! Thank you.

Update you soon,

Antony x

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
