Return To The Forbidden Planet

Dancing with sunbeams....


It got pretty intense...foot-stamping, hand-waving and shouting...

I must have had the luckiest couple of days I've ever had...long story short:

- I'm owed quite a lot of money...and a considerable bit extra per month from now on!
- I don't have to go to Paris tomorrow...and the early April trip looks a bit easier now
- Interflora boosted their fuck-up bouquet with some chocolates. Sorry for swearing Ma...


Dinner!

- Flo. Is. Hilarious!



- And gorgeous at the same time



- I went to the best ever school musical thing last night with Missman: Return To The Forbidden Planet, in Bristolian!!...it was the best theatre I have ever seen!....there is no sarcasm here...just a sly grin.
- Loving, loving, loving being with Teh Laydee...without wishing to get all ghey or anything

- I have mastered that chinese 'seaweed' thing you get in chinese restaurants (the stuff that isn't actually seaweed...it's greens/cabbage)....mine's no-fat, no-salt...and really tasty.


The other picture made it look even more like jazz-baccy ;)

Oh. Hi to Liz, who I bumped into last Sunday....Teh Ricolah: let's go for drinks instead!...and Riobard del Brono: return my calls you bastard!

Spring-A-Ling-A-Ding-Dong

Seems Spring is here. Today at least...

Thank You Sara!

A nice Friday to complement a rather busy week and then a Saturday morning mooch with Missman. Went a bit bonkers with dinner after Rosie dropped Flo off; I kept cooking various things until I realised the time, so we had:

Steamed Tuna with some roasted lime, slow-cooked onions & PepPers, sweetcorn, rice with nori flakes and hemp seeds and some sprouting brocolli on the side...some apple a bit later on for pudding.

A big bath with lots of 'bupples' [which must be said in an almost reverential whisper]

Today, after porridge and Bagpuss we bumbled about until the morning nap, then I attempted to tidy up before our lunchdate at BFC with Missman...I did most of the eating, Flo chased a boy in circles for a while and then we decamped (via mine for the buggy as 0.005mph is no speed for an adult) to the Farm where goats ate Flo's shoes and most animals (except 'Pik!' & 'Dak-Dak!') were ominously absent.


Just gimme a sec, yeah?...

A pint! A pint on a Sunday afternoon....in the sunshine (ish)....for about 30 seconds it was pure bliss...the rest was just fairly amazing. Makeup skillz for the Missman...I may need to buy a lipstick for those occasional 'Oh Noes, what's left to entertain Flo?' moments!

Back home, where we both napped for an hour, before taking her back to Rose with a bonus 200Gb of media goodness....off to Lyon this week, though I fear I'll be stuck in airports having missed connections most of the time (I mean, come on, 30 mins between 1 landing and next take-off....twice? On the last flights of the day?....)

I wish I had a picture of Teh Chile in the corduroy jacket with the pink turnups and the lilac summer hat...you'll have to use your imagination unless you saw it.


It's not shitting, it's not fitting....all I want is...MEH MEH MEH!

If YouTube is being ghey again please click here to access a video of Flo (which in retrospect looks less safe than it did at the time) having a go on a slide...

Gyrru

Got the new Gruff Rhys album, Candylion...it's ace! Gave Missman the cardboard candylion model it came with. She's good at that putting things together stuff so it seemed appropriate.

Bristol's hilly. I sometimes forget quite how hilly...except when walking up the buggers.

Hilly.

Teh Byottifarl Chile and I are both super-tired. She went to bed at 6:30, it's 8ish now and I'm not far behind her.

Last night I displayed my ginger-strength for Missman by accidentally (ha!) ripping a door off the wall, played someone else's guitar which I praised & cursed at the same time and then made 'sex noise' in my sleep...I contend I was dreaming of the iPhone!

Today I mostly got caffeinated then got ripped off here (don't believe a word of it) with Missman and bought what looks like a great book from a Charidee Shop for £6 . Bargain!

Flotos for you....I sleep now!

Eggs Perry Mental

Right. I'm knackered, a bit fed-up of feeling guilty (for no reason) for not posting quite as often or in quite the same rantageous (yes it is a word...if I say so) way as I have in the past. I blame Missman (joke). Actually, because I told Missman of the site I suddenly thought I'd better re-read some of my older posts to see if I came across as some kind of mentalist. What I mean is, a different type of mental from my mental....ya get me?

Also, Ricola better phone me soon or they're in trouble!

By the way, I don't want an iPhone (which you may have inferred from the last post), but that interface does look awesome. If I'm a fanboy at all, I'm a Mac OS X fanboy and possibly not even that as I'd rather it was all free...I'm still running a Debian machine as a server and using the Daptop regularly now I sorted out some of the wireless issues. Somehow though, my Mac Mini has become my machine of choice rather than just the media machine I'd intended.

I'll also admit to heaving several huge sighs of relief at work today; just before I went on Yuletime holiday I realised I might have 'over sold' something to Belgium and that I'd possibly fucked Belgium (ugh!) and thus probably a very, very expensive project right up. I couldn't do anything about it other than worry (not that I do that much) about it a bit over the last few weeks. Anyway, long story short we finally caught up on the matter today and it turns out I'd just twisted it round in my head (and so had one of the Belgo's which was why I was worrying) because their techie guy is definitely on the ball and had also noticed my cunning 'call per service' (too long a story) plan...it just wasn't flow-charted correctly. Also, Maggie is back which is really good and I'll be working with her now.

The paragraph above has been written suspecting that Teh Bo55 still has this thing RSS'd or bookmarked. But it's true...and cannot be submitted as evidence for my next Performance Review ;-)

Flo has some seriously sore nappy-area issues, but is happy enough despite being a bit pasty and under-the-weather-looking. She ate loads of Fishcake, Rice, Brocolli and Sweetcorn and was sooo tired she wanted her bed at 6:30 right after her bath (lots of shouting and splashing...and bubbles)...let's hope she sleeps through as I've another killer 2 days at work coming up followed by (hopefully) some debauchery and then a full Saturday...Flo's staying a bit later than usual on Sunday.

O.O

Seems I can rant when I have it in me...except now I'm definitely going to bed before 9!

You thought I'd forgotten....haha!

Happy F*****g New Year!

So. Yule has passed. I got way better presents than I gave...so now I feel mean. Had a great time at home, yadda yadda...Back to Briz to see Teh Byootifarl Chile and Missman.

All is well. I just hope that between them and 'life' I can get enough sleep!

Speaking of which, I'm going to wake Flomo up for the fireworks at midnight...after all she did wee on me while we were reading a bedtime story!



Oh and you've not had video for a while so try this for size...

So long for now...

Probably the last post of the year as I'm off to the parents for Yuletime feastings...I'm thinking of a new look when I come back!

Had a really wonderful afternoon/night out yesterday, though my camera is truly crap in low light...and I'm not exactly a skilled photographer. All hail Missman!

Here's a bunch of photos from the past week...See you in the New Year I have no doubt!

Notice the ingenious art studio setup!

I poke you in the nose Daddy!

She's in my heart everyday, why not stick her in a box for a bit?

Guri 1 : World 0

Morning. Day one (proper) of my Yuletide holiday...and boy has it started well.

• Flo was gorgeous yesterday despite a cough & sniffles.
• I taught her to "Jump"*
• Pink Velvet 'Loons!!
  
• I'm going here on Thursday...been wanting to go for ages.
• The fire alarm has finally been fixed (though this means I'm paying rent again).
• I built a robot...called Brinner. It's a seasonal gag....laugh, damn you!
• Pints & snogs last night. ;-)
• Early payday for Christmas.
• Extra Flotime this week!

There's probably some more, but I'm off to the Farm caff for a fry-up...You can marvel at the Byootifarl Chile in her pink velvet 'loons. Sorry I forgot to take the camera to the park....I'll try to remember on Wednesday, and maybe some tree-based photos on Thursday.



Yule!



* Her feet don't leave the ground or anything but as far as she's concerned every other bit of her body has jumped..it's very cute.
