Remember on Sunday I told you about my Lawn mower and MP3 player, well it continues....

My lap top died last night...just went to a black screen.

Took out the battery, tried a re boot

'Load error. insert disk A'

We dont have disk A.

Phoned the manufacturer, they said they can send us 'disk A' for a fee of £35.00. OH, AND IT WILL TAKE 28 DAYS.

took it into my neighbour Maliq who repairs computers for a living. He recons the hard drive has gone, and we have lost everything on it...

So this morning I woke bright and early (for a sunday) intent on mowing the lawn. To entertain myself whilst doing this, (cos lets face it , it is a boring task) i usualy listen to my MP3 player, so i pushed it into the pocket of my shorts, went out to the shed and got out the mower, plugged it into the mains, put on my sunglasses, slipped the ear phones into my lug holes and pressed play fully expecting Bob Marley or Johnny Cash to sing at me, but nothing. I changed the battery, tried again, still nothing.

I decided then, i would continue without music, presed the start butten on the mower, guess what? Nothing, just lots of smoke. Only one thing i could do, cut the grass with the strimmer, i know it would be hard work, but it needed to be done. So i took it out of the shed, plugged it in, presed the on button (are you noticing a running theme here) Guess what?

No, not broken, just out of the wire that slices the head of the grass. What was I to do? Nothing I could do , but a trip to the local DIY store.

So off we tootled to B and Q, and guess what? They were out of stock of strimmer wire, and cant deliver us a mower until the middle of the week (It wont fit in our two seater convertable). So instead we went out to lunch.

The outcome ids, the grass stil needs cutting, my MP3 player is still as dead as Tank tops, but on the pluss side, We now have broad band ast home.

Oh, and a word of warning..what ever you do never google the words Scat and Shit in the same sentence. (Dont ask how I found out)

Michelle has had a chest infection for a few days now that she has been un able to shake off, so she decided she would go and see our GP. The surgery opens at 8.30am, so i started ringing for her at 8.29, assuming i would be the first caller. The receptionist answered the phone in mere moments, and I asked,

"Could i make an appoibntment for my wife to see the Doctor this afternoon?"
"Sorry." said the receptionist. "Today is fully booked up."
"Can I make an apointment for her for tomorow then?" I asked.
"No." she said. "You will have to start phoning at 8.30 tomorow morning."
"But how is that going to be any different to today?" I asked. "And more to the point. if we cant book a day in advance how is today fully booked at 8. 32? You only opened the phone lines 2 minutes ago!!!"
"Sorry." she said. "Nothing I can do about it."

Dont you just love this time of year?

Wake to sunlight shining through the curtains, the sound of bird song, and all the ladies in skimpy summer clothing.....

Is this the best looking woman on TV? I think so...

No , better still, lock your drugs cabinet. Pete Doherty's out.

Not strictly true, infact, not even slightly true but..

James Whale has been sacked by Talk sport for urging listners to vote for Boris Johnston in the Mayoral election.

Whats so wrong with people in the media stating an opinion? Why must they remain 'Neutrol'? Were noit al so nieve that we are going to do something just because a 'celebrity' tells us to are we? If we were told to go and jump off a cliff we wouldnt do it just because Rolf Harris, that guy of TV told us to do it would we?

As Hazel o'conner famousesly lamented, and it's true in our household. Michelle drinks tea, I drink Coffee, lots of coffee...8 cups a day, more some days.

This weekend we went to Asda, and I decided I would byu Decaffe, and said this with all good intentions, and sure enough I put a jar of decaffee in the trlly as we went around.

Michelle then decided that she wanted to go take a look at the clothing section, and I went to the delio counter to get som parma ham and salami, via the coffee isle where i replaced the decaffee jar for a jar of my usual.

I dont think i'm ready to kick the caffine habbit just yet.

yea, it's gone. thats a weekend we shall never see again.
what a good one it was, i cant get over how warm it was.

I managed to mow the lawn, cut the laylandy hedge, and then we had a trip out to a local garden centre.

Then a nioce walk in the grounds.

So many bands are getting back together...It's time these guys reformed.....
