How much worse can it get?

I truely didn't belive that my life could get more mundane and ordinary than it is. But this week it reached an all time low, when on a rare sortie to "big" Tescos in Haverfordwest I became overexcited because I found a red cabbage.

Yep my life is officially dire. It must be if the sight of a red cabbage can become the highlight of the week. It also proves that our Tescos in Milford is crap, you never get red cabbage there. The red cabbage rush was only equalled by the sheer excitement of buying a bulb of fennel... shall I just shoot myself now?

To add to my depression I went back to work last week, it was a major anti climax. Due to the high winds recently everything was delayed and it was just a case of trying to move what we could when we could and arrange overcarries/undercarries of all the others, eventually we ran out of Pilots, so nothing much moved at all.

In an effort to escape this dull humdrum existence I am slowly becomeing a "Twigh-hard"... I know they are all supposed to be 13 to 17 but I am loving the films and the books ( I have read all four books and am on my second reading of Twighlight) and went to see New Moon in the cinema last week. It was full of lots of gratuitious shirt removing which was very pleasant and pleasing to the eye.. Robert Pattinson is certainly fit... even though I am old enough to be his mother.... is it so wrong to perv???

I also bought the sound track to New Moon which is brilliant, I have it on in the car all the time... oh well I suppose it is time to head for bed with Twilight and escape my dull boring life with a little romance with Edward and Bella. Nos da xx

Randomness

Erin and I went shopping in Haverfordwest yesterday. It was a normal day out.. nothing to write home about at all. We found a nice car parking space... not too far from the shops, 2 hour limit, nothing much to shout about. We parked up, we locked the car, we strolled towards the under pass to the shops... and then there it was.... tied to the barrier... round and red and..... SCARY!!

Yes... a red balloon... not somthing you would worry about normally.... but have any of you actually read... or seen IT!!.....

Well if you have then you will realise the significance of an innocent floaty red balloon... Erin and I looked at each other, we both knew what it meant, we both felt the terror!! We bravely walked through the underpass, we held hands, we tried to be brave...me knew what it meant... then there tied to the barrier at the other end of the underpass was ANOTHER RED BALLOON!!... we knew it meant one thing and one thing only.... PENNYWISE HAD COME TO HAVERFORDWEST!!

We battled on we were brave, we knew we could overcome.... who were we to be frightened by a clown?? We ventured forward we knew we were strong, we knew we could overcome killer clowns, giant spiders and any other horrors Christmas shopping in Haverfordwest could throw at us. After all we had lived through 6 weeks of Jeward on X Factor.. how much worse could it get?

We made it to New Look, we made it to Dorothy Perkins, we crossed the bridge and made it to W H Smith and there finally outside Argos we faced IT... our nightmare personified.... a dork with a bunch of red balloons.... advertising a 99p sale.... ok so it was an anti climax.. but hey welcome to my world... everything is an anti climax!!

So the Christmas Shopping has begun.... I bought stuff.... not much stuff but enough stuff to justify saying I have started.

Last night we went to St. Davids to the Cwtch for Julie's birthday. It was the first time we have stayed in their new house and it was lovely... the house is stunning and it was a joy to sleep in a proper bed not the dreaded bed settee... Unfortunately the meal in the Cwtch was a bit disappointing, not the best we have had but still very enjoyable.. I had spinach soup, ribeye steak, and creme brulee.

Today was rugby again and we triumphed over the mighty Pumas (Argentina)... hopefully this will take us back above them in the world rankings... next week it is Australia... who are looking more beatable now they lost to Scotland... well done the Jocks.!! Tomorrow we are all going to Bridgend to the cinema to see New Moon.... even I have to admit Robert Pattinson is fit!!

Bad Behavior

I am sat here watching Men Behaving Badly on Dave. I remember it from the first time round, ten years ago or so.

Back then it was really funny.... it is still really funny. Unfortuately now it is my life!!.... I have my very own version of Gary and Tony (alias Noel and Meurig).... I would laugh out loud but I am afraid it may come out as a sob!!

We Shall Remember them

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Cheating Bastard

This man is supposed to be the best player in the world.... yeah right... hes is a high tackling cheating kiwi bastard!!!.... you might guess we lost...I dont mind what I do mind a blind South African Referee... blind lines men and a New Zealand team that gets by cheating outrageously.. major obstructions off the ball,.. high tackles and basically cheating like fuck.. I used to have some respect for the All Blacks for being formidable opponents..no more they are a cheating bunch of c**ts... sorry for the language but they are... I can accept being beaten by worthy opponents..but not cheats!

Its that Time of Year Again

So much for regular blogging.. a week has past again, I have been slack... slap my wrist!

Not much to report really. My night watches were uneventful. Haloween came and went, I was in work so I don't know if we were bothered by trick n treaters or not.

My four days off seemed to pass really quickly, I did nothing constructive apart from a little bit of the H word and lots of Facebooking. My farm is now sporting a very fetching crop circle and some green cows thanks to the extra terrestrial theme.

And now on to the main event. Yes folks it is that time of year again when the odd shaped ball is taken out of the cupboard and dusted off, the red jersey is donned and the Autumn Internationals begin. We kick off today with the hardest test off all against the mighty All Blacks. Can we finally defeat them after 56 years of trying??.... I bloody hope so but that is just my natural optimism... by 7pm I shall probably be sobbing into my wine glass yet again lamenting what should have been. On the bright side the pundits are saying that this is probably the best chance we have had in a long time as they have recently lost to South Africa twice and to France, so there is some hope.

Next week we play Samoa, the following week Argentina and finally Australia (who will hopefully beat england today!!.... yes yes I'm racist but only where rugby is concerned it no different to supporting your local round ball bunch of nancies).

Unfortunatley kick off is at 5.15pm and I don't finish work until 5.45pm earliest so Noel is under strict instructions to tape it and not start watching until I get home. Watch this space for drunken blogging later whether we win or lose... I shall leave you with some rousing Bread of Heaven to get you in the mood.

Eee - Aye - Eee - Aye - Ooh

This is my farm. I am very proud of my farm. My farm takes up a lot of my time. I plant my crops, harvest my crops, harvest my fruit tress, milk my cows and goats, sheer my sheep, collect eggs from my hens and down from my ducks, truffles from my pigs and horsehair from my horses. I also visit my neighbours (I have rather a lot), help them by clearing leaves and weeds and chasing off racoons and foxes. This all takes a lot of time, time I should spend doing h..ho...hou.. hous...... well you can see why I prefer farming!!

After my farm has been tended it is usually time to water my fairy garden, water my friends fairy gardens and visit various others to seek wildlife and diamonds... another very time consuming task. This is usually followed by half an hour or so of Scavenger Hunting, this season it is halloween items and I desperately need a haunted house. Next comes Lexulous and an attempt to out think my opponents (this does not always work) and then a bit of Treasure Mania, sometimes followed by a quick game or two of Bejewelled Blitz.... so you can see my time is usually spent in very constructive pursuits... either that or I am A VERY SAD PERSON!!

Unfortunately for two days and two nights a week I am unable to carry out these vital tasks as the inconvenience that is work intrudes, so you can see why I find it hard to find time to blog these days!!

In general gossip and news both my girls had rather eventful days yesterday. Ffion came home from work covered in blood as one of the children she looks after had run into a desk and put three of their front teeth through their top lip and required stitches.

Erin went for the first of her cervical cancer jabs and promptly passed out in the waiting room afterwards. Luckily my Mother was with her and the nurse said it was a common side effect, but it did leave her feeling a bit shaky.
