Bah, Swine Flu confirmed at work. Only two people so far but they have decided to keep it open. Was hoping they'd close but hey.

Lets hope I don't catch it!

So has anyone watched the new film yet? I had a chance this evening at Leics Square but the thought of shelling out £15 wasn't worth it!

So will wait until I'm back home and with the subtitled version comes out too.

Today was a good day. And headed straight back to hotel to relax and watch DVD - Planet of the Apes (1968 version) and am planning to watch the 2001 version tomorrow. Thought it was a good movie. But a bit long winded story I think.

Need to start thinking of plans for this weekend.

After the training, I spent 2 hours being "lost" in the middle of London and walked around, enjoying the 26C weather.

Decided I had enough and went back to hotel for dinner and watched DVD - Jumper - good film.
I think the walking around yesterday and today has given me a bit of a tan! :D

Weather is saying colder and cloudy tomorrow - boo! Hopefully it will stay nice.

Think I will have an early night...

So it's June already. 6 month gone of 2009. Pretty quick.

Last night, I watched 28 Days Later. Tonight, I watched 28 Weeks Later. Enjoyed both of them. Can't wait for 28 Months Later to come out in 2011!

Had dinner at the hotel I am staying in and the food was okay. Thinking to eat out tomorrow as the weather is still nice and warm. So I want to enjoy it :D

Am currently looking around for a new camcorder - what do you people use? I'm looking for HD type, maybe flash based and not tapes, DVD or HDD based as I don't want to carry around discs or tapes. Need to be able to hold up to 2 or more hours of footages. And easy to use/edit!

I have this Camcorder Buyer magazine so will be reading up on that tonight to see if anything catches my eyes.

TV time...

Someone nudged me. Yes, I've been lazy and hasn't posted very much. :D

How are you all ladies and gentlemen? Enjoying the rare hot weather we're currently having?

Over the past few weeks has been so chaos! Been busy sorting out the house in preparation for the new kittens that we will be getting in the next few weeks.

Sorting out each rooms and making it cat-proof, I.e. Hiding places where they could do a poo & shit in wrong places lol

Only things we need to do is to buy the litter box, some toys, cat bowls and we're sorted. We already have some cat food and biccy. Think we have covered most things, hopefully.

We saw the kittens yesterday, so cute and tiny! Eyes are open and fur already fully grown so not long to go. Can't wait! :D

For this week, I am currently being trained for some Microsoft product, so looking forward learning new things.

Anyone planning to go on holiday in June? We are thinking but not too sure where to go. Need cheap holiday package ;)

Oh, this morning, we had someone from B&Q round to give us quote for bathroom upgrade and fittings. Price is not too bad but much cheaper than the local bathroom company! So will give it some thoughts, maybe one more quote from another company before deciding who to go with. Joy.

Right, I better stop now and enjoy the lovely weather!

Just dropped off my car at Ford for major service this morning.

This leads to my thinking... Should I change my car? Or not yet?

It's a Ford Focus ST170 52 reg with 103,000 miles on it. Yes I do lots of driving. I had this car for over 3 years so far. No major problems, runs very well.

My only worry is if I do decide to sell it, i will not get very good value from it due to age and high mileage. Plus car dealers are tight during this time.

But then since I don't have any issue with this car, maybe I should keep it anyway... Just that it would be nice to have a new car, eh? :D

I do like VW Golf R32, very good price on the used cars market. But insurnce group 18. Hmmm... What else are out there?

Was thinking in my head randomly and thought of this question.

If you received a freebie film DVD i.e. from newspaper, you know, Daily Mail. You then make a copy of it and share it, say, via P2P, would this be considered as piracy? Or not?

I don't know why I asked this question but I think this is a good question for discussions. :)

So it's friday at last. With the great weather forecast for the weekend coming up, it should be a relaxing weekend.

Also payday arrived today so will be looking forward to some shopping but not too much as I seriously need to save up as I went into red just a little bit! Whoops. :D

Going to meet up a mate at 6pm for dinner, drinks and catching up before heading out to Glasshouse pub for a meetup with other deafies.

So that was the budget yesterday. And short. But interesting changes/suggestions from them.

Not sure what to make of it. But I like the 2k for car exchange. Shall see how it goes. And the tax changes. 50% tax for 150k or more - ouch! Thats half of the salary.

Anyway.

Last weekend, we've been busy doing the garden work on the front garden, planting some hedges around. Need to do some work on the grass as they are pretty in bad state, so some seeding and lawn feed needed.

Work is ok so far, as usual, preparing for the summer works so busy all around.

Lovely weather so far, and have done two BBQs :D

Time to do some volunteer work... Laters all

After our shopping earlier this afternoon, i made another attempt with removing the tree stump and at last, I got the big tree stump removed!

I dug deeper and found that the wood were much softer, so using the spade, I cut it down layer by layer of soft wood until the point where it got loose. I kicked it down and it's done! :D

Now the front garden looks much bigger. Tomorrow, if it stays sunny, will fill up the hole, smooth out the soil and put down some grass seed. And maybe plant hedge if we got time.

Now getting ready for the quiz night.
