Day 327 of 365: Happy Memorial Day/Bank Holiday Monday

A four day weekend has come and gone....but today was a lovely day.

Woke up around 8am because I knew we were going to go visit the cats today.

Spike, unfortunately, wasn't brushed out as much as he needed when he was with his last owner, so tomorrow he is heading into the vet's so he can have a shave. The mats are so close down to his skin that the animal shelter couldn't risk brushing them out because it would really hurt Spike.

So we took lots of photos, mostly blurry since the boys wouldn't stop moving around:

Spike

Should find out at lunch tomorrow how Spike survived the shaving, so will give a call to the shelter for an update.

Just want the week to fly by, so we can bring the boys home!

Alsoooooo.....going up to London on the 7th to meet Jamie's Mom, and to see Jamie, Alan, and baby Reagan!!! Good thing Ian bought us a new camera yesterday. :)

Day 326 of 365: Rainy Day Fun

Chris stalking...

Went down to Portsmouth with Lucy and Chris today to a WWII/D-Day re-enactment and memorabilia show. It rained, and it was a cold rain, but we all had a great time.

Chris bought a grenade, and poor Ian didn't get his rifle, but hopefully soon. Although he DID get two cool jackets.

The photo above, Ian posed with the guy who began to speak in a German accent, then switched to cockney. He was NOT one of the "actors" but was just dressed like that because that's what he likes to do. He even had Nazi rings! Some people just take it TOOOOOO far.

Afterwards, we went to The Hampshire Hog for a drink and a really good bite.

Then we went by Cheesefoot Head, where Chris took this picture of us from far away.


Was a really good day. :)

Day 325 of 365: FINALLY!

I FINALLY passed my driving test today. Had my exam at 8:10am, and my examiner this time around was really nice and realistic. My instructor rode in the car with us, so I think that helped ease my stress a little bit as well.

Only had 3 minor faults too!

Look out world, I'm on the road again! :)


And got lovely pressies from K and Ian. Thank you!

Day 324 of 365: Empty Handed

Sooooo.....

My camera has been a moron lately and basically decided that it doesn't want to work too often, so whenever I go to take a photo, it shuts off. Not cool.

Annnndddd....I got a new mobile which takes MUCH better photos than my old mobile, but it didn't come with a USB cord, so even if I do take photos on there, I can't get them to my laptop.

The blog is at a standstill....

Day 323 of 365: I Really Enjoy...

...looking at signs in England, because sometimes they're hilarious!

Day 322 of 365: Lookie Lookie!

It's been MONTHS since I've seen Fudge (I originally introduced her HERE in my blog adventure).

Tonight we swung by my MIL's place to see if there was any mail sitting in the front hallway, and Fudge came up to see us.

I almost cried when I saw her, because I'm a big ol' baby!

Day 321 of 365: Ooooo La La!

Walking down Stockbridge's High Street

Ian has been on call this weekend, so when he woke up this morning he told me to stay in bed and try to get some more sleep.

An hour or so later I was woken by him asking if I wanted to go to Stockbridge and meet up with Lucy and Chris to go to a French market. "There will be cheese!" is what made me spring out of bed. :p

It was a lovely day though. The sun was shining, the breeze was not really cold, and the volcanic dust was spread across the cars (lol).

After the market, trying some free wine, and watching a Frenchman sneeze into his hand and then serve roasted nuts to customers, Ian, Lucy, Chris, their friend Vic, and I went to the Mayfly. We sat next to the River Test while watching duck rape, experienced a cheese tragedy, and drank a £17 jug of Pimms.

Lovely LOVELY day. Thanks, guys, for inviting Ian and I along!
