Hang on while a roll a ciggy……

‘Cough cough’…….

Yep, today is ‘National No Smoking Day’
Like I give a damn, its the only bad habit I’ve got left…..

Been awake all night again, this sedate, stranded lifestyle has its good points and a few bad points too, the good, a safe, warm, clean home…. the bad, one bus to Brigg six days a week, a huge gas bill, too much time in front of this computer for ‘online company’…….
And its bloody frozen outside again this morning, white over with frost and decidedly ‘not going out weather’….
Oh well, I’ll be awake a while yet no doubt so time for a cuppa…..
Happy ‘Hump’ Day to my American readers…..

Damn the cold…..

Awake all night again, looked outside around eight this morning and everything was white over again, outside temp’ a chilly minus 5F….

Got my first proper gas and electricity bills for this place on saturday lunchtime…. not nice, gas is the worse one with it being gas central heating and water heating, I could do with a soak in the bath but now not sure I can afford the luxury, time to make some cutbacks I guess, no more treats, no more booze…..

Things are looking up with the birds, seems to be getting a lot busier recently with the continuing cold weather, taking a que from Daffy I’ve listed the ‘visitors’…..

Robins – x2
Great Tits – Numerous
Long Tailed Tits – x4+
Coal Tits – Numerous
Blue Tits – x4-6 usually
Green Finches – Numerous
Wrens – x2
Assorted Sparrows – Numerous
Dunnocks – X1 or 2…. Hard to tell as they hide so well !
Wood Pigeons – Numerous fat ones…. LOL
Collared Doves – x6+
Blackbirds – Numerous
Thrush – x1 so far, good for getting rid of snails!!
Starlings – Numerous…. noisy, greedy little buggers!
Crows – Were numerous until I stopped using ‘tray’ feeders

No doubt there’s some I’ve missed but thats the list of regular sightings!

Time to make a coffee and go chat to the lovely Dee on msn messenger…..

SeeYa…….

‘ A Shoppin’ and a Boppin’

Upbeat title, shite day……
Went shopping this morning because I had to or go hungry, bloody freezing out, heavy frost and around minus 2F, roads like wet glass, idiots playing the ‘look at me I’m a fast driving wanker’ game, already a smash just around the corner from here, car turning left onto my road slid sidyways into one coming in the opposite direction, turning left one was no doubt going way too fast for the road conditions….

Oh, and my mother spoke to me (lower case ‘mother’ intentional), she was in Tesco’s doing some shopping……. this is the woman, along with her husband who decided back in mid August to have nothing more to do with me re: ‘normal parent/son’ type stuff…. I thought she had a bloody cheek after all the shite I’ve been through, culminating in my parents attitude, to be honest I’m a lot happier not worrying about them anymore….

Another crappo instance, couple of nights ago a ‘friend’ I know in Leeds came online in messenger stating she was ‘at the end of her tether’ and a large amount of paracetamols were the only way to cure it….. like the mug I am I spent the next over 3 hours chatting to her, cheering her up etc….. at the very end of the chat she freely admitted she was lying to me when she said I’d helped……. that was upsetting for me as those of you who know whats happened to me over the last few years will understand….. basically I’ll never make the grade as a Samaritan, and if it comes about she did top herself it aint through lack of trying on my bloody part!
(Hanging is quicker P if you read this…. Paracetamol can take up to five days of agony to kill you!)

Anyway, on to a lighter note, you’ll notice, I hope (wake up you at the back!) a new link in my blogroll, tis Jason, the old JC74 from P27 and 20six days, seems the skulking little thing has been on WordPress and couldn’t be arsed to browse for known names for quite a while…. I don’t recall what her name is Jason but PUT HER DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION! ( lucky barsteward! LOL)

Righty O…. Facebook says I have fish, plants and crimbo gifts to accept so I’m off…. (no Daffy, I ALWAYS smell like this…)

Catch yer all soon, first comment on this post gets a *HUGZ*

Frozen Outside…….

Another sleepless night due to too much daytime sleep while suffering from a heavy cold last week, I’ve been pottering around quietly for a few hours (its now nearly 0530hrs) sorting paperwork for shredding etc, needed to put some stuff in the bin simply to get it out from under my feet having run out of flat surfaces to dump stuff on temporarily……..

And guess what…… theres a heavy frost outside and its bloody *COLD*  !!

Sods law aint it, this morning I have to go shopping because I’ve just about run out of essentials….

Next job – hunt the thermals…….
