J.E.D.I JULY!!!

So this is it then. A sad, sad day in my life, because today is the day that concludes the epic month that has been J.E.D.I July.

Well i must say that after a very sceptical start, things have gone rather well. There have been days when I haven't had the time to write an essay (such as today) but I have made an entry every day on time, bar one occasion, so for this I am pleased. I have learnt a new skill (self discipline!) and how to write blogs, poorly!

Upon reflection, it has been a very good month to write a blog. some of the main highlights to name but a few include Lydia's birthday, Karen's birthday, throwing loafs of bread at ducks in Beaulieu, Bowling with Dom and Lydia, and recently, the Bold Forester Thursday night pub quiz to name but a few!

I will have to add it more information on these events in the days to come, due to being sat at work, my input in greatly limited!

So there we go, I've started the last blog of J.E.D.I July, which is the main thing, and the good news is that I pledge to continue to write a blog entry at least once a week forever more, which I'm sure we'll all agree will be enormously tedious!

Anywho, back to work for a few hours!

More to follow chaps!

J.E.D.I

So with one day to go before the end of J.E.D.I July, and with a sense of great anticipation of a grand conclusion, I sense a hint of disappointment, for tomorrow is the same as any other day, I will have very restricted time in which to write this blog! Si if I start tonight's now, at least I will have written something by the end of today!

It's been a generally tedious day so far, where great amounts of money have been spent on Matt's Birthday present (although not as much as on others this year) and I now hope and pray it turns up before Sunday after paying £12.00 to make sure it does! Anywho!

Looking forward to pub quizzing it up later, should be good fun, I shouldn't think I'll have any input at all, but there we go! I'm generally quite a dim person, so this isn't my forte'

really looking forward to seeing Lydia and Dom! It's been a day of much solitude and teeedium so will be nice to get out and have a laugh.

I must now leave though and go back to pretending to be busy!

See you sooooon!

3rd and final Fill In Blog

So this is it then, only a couple more blogs to go, and I still don't have enough hours in a day to write one! : (

I'm failing miserably!

Yolk!

No time to spare! Failed again! Night all!

Lethargic

Is about the best word to describe how I'm feeling. I am suffering from a serious lack of sleep and I ache more than ever before after yesterdays awesome family picnic (I was invited despite not being much to do with the family)!

Anywho, whining over, today has been very much the same as every other day of the week, nothing achieved, learnt or gained. Oh well! Pay day tomorrow! However, if I work my monthly finances out, after paying my rent and paying off my card debt, I am left with £125 pounds, which isn't enough to get me through a week and a half of petrol, never mind anything else, so I guess I will dipping back into my overdraft again o do more damage to my credit rating! SIGH!

Looking forward to this evening though, I've heard Dood has got a new digi cam, so will be good to see what he's got, and of course spend some more time with the lovely Lydia, which I'm sure will make my day!

So off for tea.

See you soon all!

Unique

I'm running out of 'U' words!

Fantastic day at the picnic! Cricket was awesome, being the only person to get a 6 and catching 8 times, I'm pretty pleased with m'self!

We got to 20 as well!! : P

Had a fantastic evening with Lydia, I can't believe how much I love you!!

Must be time for bed though! Can't say I'm looking forward to work too much but there we go!

Nighty night all!

Jealous

...is what I am of just about everyone else.

Footy today, I was jealous of all the other people sat on the other side of the stadium, for they were not sat in and facing the sun. Good game from Saints though. I think out of the 76 odd photos I took, only 10 ish focused properly.

So they game was good, 3-0 to Saints, but that was about it. II have failed at everything else today, and consequently, my one and only gorgeous girlfriend doesn't love me any more, and I do not know why. I think being walked out on, can generally be taken as a dumping, so there we go.

Funnily enough, not in the mood for writing much else today. Hope tomorrow will be better, but at this rate, who knows

Incredulous

... is about the only word I can think of beginning with an 'I' at the moment.

This will be the last day I will cop out of writing a true blog because I am too tired and I don't have the time!

Just a thought, who are Saints playing tomorrow?!

Dopey attempt!

is what I will be from J.E.D.I. if I continue to keep not writing anything each day!

Big Blog due!

Exempt

So I've failed to produce any kind of blog worth reading, again!

As we all seem to be doing, I promise to expand on the weeks events sometime in the not too distant future!

Stick with me!

July 21st! Bestest Day of the month!

Happy Birthday Lydia!! and Happy 8 months toooo!! : D

I will have to summarise today, tomorrow, due to the fact that I managed to forget to do something quite important at work today, and so I am consequently forced to pop into the office for 6:30am, meaning a 4:30 rise :( :( :( oh well!
So I am off to bed again! Thank you doood for everything you did for me today, appreciate it. And it has been the bestest hour with my wonderful, loving, beautiful, sweet and caring, fantastic soul mate this evening.

More to follow tomorrow!

The best Fill-in blog yet!

So I'm sat here at 00:03 on Monday morning, happy as Larry with me ice cold Magers

It has been quite possibly the best day for quite a while. Seeing as it [was] Sunday, I didn't feel any need to wake before 11, so I dragged my sorry self up at 11:34 to commence making myself remotely presentable to take Martin to work at 12:30. Not being the most observant during this time, it took me until 12:40 when I got home to realise that no one else was there! It turned out that mum had taken Milo to the vets for X-Rays and Dad had gone somewhere else. No matter. I had to stay at home and keep an eye on Joop, which is always good fun. With the additional temptation of a sliced and diced apple, I had him half-sat in the leather arm chair with his bum in one corner, head and paws over the opposite arm and back legs hanging off the front! Funny enough, but I was crawling around on the floor jabbing the poor mutt sneakily
obviously causing huge frustrating and great humor on my part! Poor dog. Anyway, 3pm was fast approaching, so a quick shower and off to see my lovely Lydia!

Seeing as me and Lydia were short on ideas for activities to fill the afternoon before 'TopCorn' at 8, we decided to visit the ice cream shop and ducks of Beaulieu. However, not all went swimmingly. At the newsagents, there was a small error in communications between me and the shop-lady in purchasing Lydia's ice cream. I asked for the requested Medium sized, Raspberry Ripple ice cream by saying, '2 scoop, medium raspberry ripple please', to which a Ginormous 3/4 scoop mound of ice cream was produced, much to Lydias horror and dismay.

I thought this was hilarious! Obviously I had to help out at this point, ice cream was in danger and tragedy had to be averted! Ice cream severely reduced - Lydia, slightly happier! We plodded down to the riverside with our not-white full size loaf of fattening white bread, and persisted in throwing lumps at the seagulls. The absence of ducklings became apparent when we noticed the ducks didn't stand a chance against the seagulls at getting any bread whatsoever, so they clearly can't do too well at protecting them against predators. 2 and a half ice creams and a whole loaf of time later, we retreated back to the car, moments before it started to rain, which was lucky!

Back at base, me and Lydia settled down with a cup of tea and I was read a couple of pages out of Jane Eyre by Lydia, about the main character describing the misery at her all-girls school, such as the cold walk to church on a Saturday, and her measly half slices of bread for dinner etc etc. My lacking capability of recital is in no way a reflection of the mesmerising reading prowess of Lydia! *brownie points, brownie points*!!

8pm arrived- TopCorn!!! The usual hour of motoring madness from TV's three musketeers! The highlight being James having to drive the Morris Marina (cream and beige exterior, brown interior) - the highlight of Ians early driving years! : P

The last trip of the day came after, where me, Lydia and The Doood ventured out to the Bold Forester for the last few drinks of the weekend and a good old natter.

Back home at 11:00, and after bidding Dom farewell, me and Lydia had one of the best half hours ever, without being too graphic, we had a good heartfelt chat and reminisce in the car <3>

Yours

It's been a busy day. Thanks to Dom for sorting the Saints tickets out! Awesome!

However, I didn't realise it was possible to break my own heart! I've know sadness tonight like no other, and I am fully responsible. My selfish, and hurtful words and actions have been causing limitless grief to the one closest to me and tonight I have finally realised the errors of my way. I don't want anyone to feel like sadness we have tonight again. Time for a new leaf and a fresh start. I have learnt a lot today, and mistakes made, will not be made again. I'm sorry... and no matter what I am always yours.

Ludicrous!

Stupid internet! I couldn't connect until now, so consequently have no time to write a blog!! Again!
Sigh!

Utilise!

.... or how not to, more to the point! A very tedious day at work was followed by a game of golf, if you can call it that! I don't get as wet as I did during the game, in the shower. I really haven't been so wet as that! Accompany this with the most annoying 'rich boys' ever, it made for a really tedious round. No matter, at least it won't be so bad next time...!?

This was soon forgotton though because of a lovely '2nd sitting' of 'Becoming Jane' with my gorgeous girlfriend and doood.

Anyway, jobs loom.

Toodles

Jolly James McAvoy

Phew!! Today seems to have gone on forever, due to the fact that I had precisely 38 minutes sleep last night, which isn't that good! Ho-hum. Having been awake nearly 24 hours I'm a tad tired so I'm keeping this short.

Work was the same as any other day, more work done than respect and knowledge gained.

Table tennis however was a bit more successful, I won something against very stiff competition, so all was fun and jolly times were had!

Following a quick tea, shower time and trip to cash-coughing hole-in-wall, it was straight round to my 2nd home to watch 'Becoming Jane' with my perfect soul mate, which so far is a very good film. I'm clinging onto the fact that it will improve the more I watch and the more I am able to follow and understand! : P
About 10 minutes in, the 'dood' came home, and joined us to help eat the food (and watch the film!) which was nice.

Tomorrow is another scintillating day at the office, then glof with Doood, and then another glorious few hours with Lovely Lydia!

Nighty night!

Fill-in Blog 2!

I love the way that each time it comes to the day when I need to write a blog with the title 'Fill-in blog' in order to separate J.E.D.I and July in my titles, nothing much really happens in the day! Excellent.

Work has been stunningly average this week thus far! Hoping it will remain so. However, things seem to be looking up on the most part for the rest of the week, Table Tennis with Lydia (and Dom if cricket should be cancelled), Glof with Dom on Thursday, and bowling Friday. Then to cap it all off, footie and shopping with Lydia and Dom on Saturday!! Phew, and Sunday to explain to the bank why I have expired my £660 overdraft! So that should all be good.

Anywho, had a fantastic eve with my gorgeous girlfriend and it was great as always to see Dom (albeit briefly).

Roll on another day in paradise!

Indiscerptible

I am not going to be writing much today, for I feel that I have taken the shine off the day for myself and others somewhat. But anywho, the title of the blog shares some significance with the only really good part of my day - 21:00 onwards. I need not explain this part, for you all have suitably capable imaginations!

Daylight hours have rapidly been consumed by computer gazing and clock watching while 'helping out' with the new kid in the team from another department, who quickly overtook me in terms of knowledge and ability but I claim responsibility for that!

Following such tedium, came the laborious task of washing my car ~ by hand! Considering the rather extensive surface area, and the amount of chemicals needing to be applied, the job took nearly an hour and a quarter. When the polishing had been completed and I had moved far enough back to not be able to see the remaining muck, I was pleased with my efforts! My work will be in vain though, following a few days of heavy braking resulting in a thick layer of brake dust on and around the wheels, no~one will know the pain I have been through!

I could not have wished for a nicer evening though, through all the pain and tedium, to be cuddled up with my lovely girlfriend for a few hours, everything has been forgotton! It's a shame 23:00 always comes round so fast though! Not to worry, tomorrow is nearly here!

Note to self however, some form of sporting evening with 'Doood' is required this week.....


Night night all.

Draining!

What a long day! I seem to remember going to church this morning, but it seems like such a long time ago, it could well have been last weekend?! Anywho, it was an interesting service on being a son of God, not a slave of God, or something like that, it was all very good and meaningful at the time.



Shortly after, and following a good clean-out of my car, I popped round to fetch Mr McGill for a round of glof, and stopping briefly on the way to pick up Mr Baker, headed for DGC in the glorious sunshine! SIGH! Shortly after came the inevitable headache and an atrocious first few holes! However, things soon picked up following the demise of Dom's bogie round and Kevs ever decreasing score, and things didn't turn out too bad in the end!



I think there was a gap of a few hours after glof. My headache had worsened and I just lolled about and had a lay down for a bit trying to clear it. 3 litres of water and 2 ice creams later, I was just about man enough to drag myself up and get in the shower before this weeks edition of Top Gear(corn). I think the thing that does Top Gear(corn) for me, is that I think Clarkson and I share something in common.....?!

or perhaps this...?

Anyway, enough of that!

So, filled with wisdom, (and knowing the Renault Megane R28 R is a greater waste of money than a Ford Focus RS; that a 1st class letter is faster than the new Porsche Panamera and that 1 bag of Microwave popcorn is far too much for just one person), myself and Dom set about tonking a tennis ball around the garden (again) for no apparent reason in another small game of 2 person cricket, which was exhausting... again! (we had a quick bash just before Top Gear(corn))

Meanwhile.... poor Lydia had been neglected and had buried (or been buried) in Inkheart, so dripping in sweat and smelling of something not very nice, I took it upon myself to ruin the peace and tranquility by trying to make up for the time I'd just spent winning cricket. ( : P ) This however became too unbearable (the heat, not Lydia) so the two of us nipped out for a quick drive so pathetic lil' me could cool off.

And that's about it, I think. Phew! Off to bed so I can wake up in 6 and a half hours to start another draining week at work.

Love you Lydia

Nighty night all!

Entirely Hopeless!

Okay, not funny! Following my pathetic excuse for a 'blog' yesterday, I now can't go back and edit it! Whaa?! So now I'm left with a couple of words to excuse myself from the daily challenge which I assume makes me fail if I can't add anything to it!? Sigh!

Other than that, things are good, not including the fact I woke up half an hour ago!! : ( Not good. I needed to catch up on my sleep from during the week, although I'm still a good 20 hours short! So now I'm feeling a little bit more than groggy! Yawn!

So anyway, today, not that there is much left of it, but hopefully when I've mustered the strength to put some clothes on and eaten some lunch?!!? I'll be lucky enough to spend some more time with my lovely soulmate Lydia. No idea what the plans are yet but we'll see. At least I get to talk about you, lovely one! haha, be careful what you wish for! Apparently, you like books and then just this morning, you found the two inkheart sequels in the bookshop and they're massive!

In other news, I've left my new toy on charge overnight! I popped into B&Q yesterday for something completely different, and managed to find a HUGE 3,500,000 candle power halogen spot light, which literally lights anything up no matter how far away it is, even the clouds (at night obvsss). It needs another 8 or so hours plugged into the mains for a full charge but won't need charging again for 3 months! Sorted

Last nights film night was good though, watched Lydia's new Miss Potter, the story of the legendary children's books author.

Much food was devoured but some left for the next installment which is tonight, at 7, where the entertainment is a bit more 'brain-dead'. I ordered my childhood favourite movie which came Thursday last week, 'Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius' is about the funniest thing I have ever seen, so I'm sure everyone will just think I'm stupid! Oh well!

Anywho! Ramble ramble!

I'd better go and 'wake up'!

TTFN!!

Jump!

Yay It's Friday!!

It's been, as a whole, a good day! Following a lovely text and email conversation with Lydia my day seemed to stay okay. There were no important people in the office, so the atmosphere was light and humerous, and little work was done! Generally not a bad day so far!

I decided to pop to B&Q to look for a wood chisel which was easy enough, but I ended up buying a rather large 3,500,000 candle power spotlight, which will be on charge almost non-stop until this time Sunday.

Other than that, we are having a film night tonight which shall be good fun, watching Lydia's Miss Potter' which I'm looking forward to.

That's about it today really. More info to follow tomorrow!

Yawn

It hasn't been a great day, I have achieved nor conquered anything at work, and then came home.

I thought a quick round of solo golf would sort me out, but I seem to have torn a muscle in my side, which is now giving me grief with breathing. I was also rubbish at golf.

And I am also worried sick about Lydia who seems so unhappy at the moment and there is nothing I can do about it. I understand so little and I just want her to be happy. I know it will all work out gorgeous.

Anywho, back to a seriously un-constructive day of emptiness.

Sorry for all the glum-ness, but I really don't have anything positive to take from today, other than emailing Lydia throughout the day which, as always, was a true pleasure.

Night night folks

Lovely Lydia

It's Wednesday already! I was completely convinced it was Tuesday today until about lunchtime. Worrying times! Anyway, it's been a very very busy day. Following a less than moral boosting prep talk from the 'manager' on 'how to manage my day' (what a prat) this morning, the day didn't get any easier. I haven't stopped since 8 this morning yet I don't feel I've achieved anything! It seemed to get really hectic at about 16:55 so I was running between floors like a lunatic trying to sort things out and didn't manage to leave unil nearly 20 past. Sigh!

Anywho, still got this evening to come which I'm sure will be really good as always! I'd better get in the shower or end up smelling, which I'm sure won't go down well with Dom and the lovely Lydia!

Toodles for now!

Udders

...is about the only remotely random title I can think of beginning with 'U'!!

Anyway! It's been a busy day with not a lot to report so far - just a very average day in the office. I seem to have more on than ever, so not looking forward to going in tomorrow but there we go. I haven't even got anything to say about it really. Just been one of them days!

Looking forward to 20:30 though. Seeing Lydia and possibly Dom if he fancies it!

I'll update the post a bit later on today!!

Offski!

Jeopardy

It has been a rather odd day! I knew today was going to be different but I had no idea I would be in so much peril!

I got up early this morning to ensure a prompt arrival for collection at the office at 8, which means getting up at 5:45 which is far too early! However, my drowsiness only lasted until about 8:05 when we left for the first job, as I found myself in the front seat of a 5 year old Pug with shot brakes doing 80mph+ down single track country lanes and braking later that I thought possible :S. We arrived at the first appointment at 08:06... or so it felt, however it was nearly 9 and I had been concentrating so hard on surviving I hadn't noticed!

There was nothing interesting about the first visit, other than some of the homeowners didn't get along and so were just hurling abuse at each other. Sure it's tedious but it filled an hour which means I had to get back in the car...

10:07!! : P Next appointment. This time in Eastleigh. I can't even remember this one! That's not good really seeing as I did the report a few hours ago.

Then again, after the last visit, consisting of a trip into a newly burnt out council house, all boarded up and falling down, it isn't surprising I can't remember.

We had to undertake a survey of the property, including breaking down the asbestos (Artex) ceilings with a spade in the pitch dark with a full Haz-Mat suit on.

All quite exciting really, being covered in asbestos! Walking on floors that you had just been smashing was also quite disconcerting, as was being told upon arrival that squatters may be inside and that I may only enter at my own risk under the understanding that I could protect myself if there were any such creatures lurking within. Thankfully there weren't!

In striking contrast, this evening was consumed by being tonked at glof, again, and relaxing and 'canoodling' with my gorgeous girlfriend!! Yay!

Anywho, I'm hoping that tomorrow will be much more average!

Toodle Pip

'Fill-in' Blog

Hi all.

Been an interesting day. I can't really remember this morning but we had a trip out this afternoon and was lovely.

All else is good.

Sorry for a pathetic excuse of a 'blog'.

Out of time

I've just ready through this, and it is a wee bit daft. I haven't written anything! FLAIL!
Oh well, I can't do anything about it now because I can't remember what happened that day!

Perhaps it's just a 'fill-in' blog! : P

Independence

Here we go then! 4th July, Independence Day! Spent the best part of this afternoon with an American Family, so that was good. Have been lounging around in the garden in the sun with temperatures reaching 36'c at 15:48 this afternoon. HOT! It has been enjoyable but generally quite quiet, until 17:22, when we had a formation flyover by the Red Arrows, which was quite cool!!

(Both of those photos are ones I have taken this afternoon, and are not downloaded to illustrate a point!)

I can't really believe its 19:11 already! I haven't even been up 7 hours yet and I've already celebrated Independence Day for the first time and seen the Red Arrows! But no doubt the best is yet to come. I've got about 30mins to write this and shower before being at the Bold Forester for 8 to meet Dom, Mike and Matt, I think. I don't really know who is going to be there but it should be good anywho.

However I think the highlight of the day will be after the pub, where I will once again, but privileged enough to spend more time with my gorgeous and fantastic other half Lydia. I can't wait to see you!! <3

So the best is yet to come. Roll on shower time!!

Delightful!

Day 3! Already! It'll all be over tomorrow at this rate!

Not done an awful lot today so far, spent a teeeedious
few hours at work this morning and continued to fail
miserably at doing things on time! But that all seems
like an eternity ago now! I came home for about 13:00ish,
I can't remember what time exactly, and bumped into 'The Doood' in
Dibden! Well, not literally, I just flagged him down!
Sorry if your chips were cold by the time you got round to devouring them though!

Returned home to the shell of a house where once again,
mess and devastation reigned and not a single specimen
of human in sight, so I let the dogs in while being dribbled
and jumped on. Spent an hour of so watching Top Gear
on iTunes and then had a really quick shower before
leaving the nest to go hunt for ice cream. I thought I'd be
a little bit cocky at this point and drive around the
'Road Closed' sign on Roman Road thinking it didn't apply
to me, which was a bit dim. It was only at the point I got
flagged down by the workers that I gave in, seeing as
they had blocked the road and I couldn't get through
even if i tried.
I was forced to turn around! Flail!

After a short detour, half way round stupid Dibden, I turned up
10mins late for the ice cream expedition, but fret not!
Considering we didn't leave until 20past, all was not lost! It
was worth the wait though - my first ice cream didn't last
me too long, and following pointless running up all down a
hill by the cricket pitch with no obvious motivation, I soon folded
under the temptation to buy another! Yay! The new Ferrari California
in Lyndhurst is AWESOME as well!


So here we are, all sat in the garden, on the laptops, writing blogs!
Oh well, they will be here to take me back to the 'Safe House'
soon. Hopefully not before the wedding tonight. Not
my wedding may I add. That time will come and I can't wait!!
Truth be told, I can't remember any of the names of the
people I need to remember so I guess I'll just call everyone
male 'Steve', and everyone female 'Steve'.

Should be a laugh! : )


Anywho, yabber yabber yabber! Time to stop doing stuff for 10mins today!

Back again tomorrow!!

- Just a little photo from the future : P

Excitement!

What an awesome day! Or what an awesome JEDI day 2!

Work : S Average but not too bad!!
Cinema! : D Ice Age 111 is hilarious!!!
Play ; P Defo one of the most amazing things in my life!!

Thank you all for a awesome evening!

Wedding do tomorrow!! Yay!!

I'd better shut up now!!!

And just in the knickers of time : P

Jubilant!

Here we are then!! Day 1: or what's left of it!

Been a fairly average day for the most part, and then I
came home! Ha!
Had a lovely picnic with Lydia at Anderwood after I failed
miserably thinking I could find a better spot in Burley (which is lovely)
but carp for picnics! But nonetheless, Anderwood was lovely also.
Not including the invasion of little polish tourists vacating their
native land via means of coach and mini bus.

Anywho, following this was slightly less than a few hours with
'The Doood' and lovely Lydia where many bits of films where
watched and many crisps lost their lives.

Moment of silence...

Fantastic day as a whole then : )


Not sure what tomorrow will hold, but no matter how
carp the day is going to be, I know that I'll be able to
come home and go out with the best people on earth
and my lovely, gorgeous and wonderful perfect soulmate
*Brownie points*Brownie points*Brownie points*!!! : P
I hope there aren't too many silly people that want to
watch Ice Age tomorrow! It's going to be great!

Happy 1st JEDI!!!
