New Bike (Non-motorised)

My other half is taking the plunge and giving up the fags (trying to anyway) and to avoid too much weight gain he wanted a pushbike to ride around on.

Interesting Times in Exeter

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad noone was seriously hurt, but the bomb was a bit of a fuss over nothing really. The only thing he blew up was himself and a toilet.

Random observations about people and stuff.

Want a Flat Packed House?

Source: hazel_eyes
Wednesday 30th January 2008, 11:29am

Ikea have taken flat packed goods to the next level.... entire houses!

There are already 3,500 prefabricated wooden "BokLok" homes in Scandinavia and now they are building some in a development in Tyneside.

The 36 flats and 47 houses are aimed at those earning between £15 and £35k and do not already own a house. A flat costs £100k and a house £150.

I have mixed feeling about this one. As house prices are so ridiculous these days its almost impossible to get on the property ladder, so affordable housing is welcome. But.... prefabricated wooden houses? I would imagine you'll get to know your neighbours far better than you need to, bit dubious about the insulating properties of wooden houses, not to mention the perils of finding you've got a jumbo sized special Ikea screw missing.

Marshalling Jets the RAF Way

Monday 7th January 2008, 11:50am

I came across a YouTube video which I think shows why the RAF is the best in the world.

The video shows RAF ground crewman Dean Tabreham demonstrating to the rest of the world how to put a smile on the pilots faces before they go on missions. Not only is is very, very funny, but it has also raised over £1000 for charity.

Christmas in Cornwall

Source: hazel_eyes
Thursday 3rd January 2008, 4:49pm

Happy New Year everyone! I'm sorry its slightly belated, but I'm just about getting myself back together again after the festivities.

My xmas went something like this.....

My sister picked me up from Exeter on her way down to Cornwall to see Mum and Dad. We then went for a few drinks in the evening and had quite a good catch-up natter. We don't see each other very often and are both rubbish at phoning, so it was nice toget a couple of hours to chat. Its weird going back to where you grew up, we saw a couple of people in the pub that we went to school with 18years ago. I ended up doing the corny 'Hi, don't I know you from somewhere?' line cos the staring was starting to get a bit obvious lol.

Meanwhile my other half was on nights and finished his 12hr shift at 6am xmas day. He then drove down to his Mums and cooked xmas lunch/dinner, I arrived there just in time to open pressies before lunch was ready. Poor hubby got to bed at 1pm and slept through til 8. It was then that his xmas cold kicked in.

Boxing Day we spent with my parents and sister, then a short visit to grandparents on the way back on the 27th. Eating far too much chocolate and generally doing not a lot then ensued and we spent New Years Eve at a neighbours party. I left at 4am and hubby rolled in at about 6.

Its soon time for Chris the christmas tree to be recycled and decorations to come down.... phew is all I can say.
