Where did those showers come from. Lovely sunny day turned awful, cold and wet around 6pm. Had to go and hide in the car park to stay dry!

Very very tired. Feeling the stress factor. Never mind, time for bed!

Facebook. Odd beast. Yes you can be become friends with people you know very well and love, but equally out of the blue, someone clicks on your profile and asks to be your friend. Nothing unusual, until you realise that this person generally made your life unhappy via bullying some 15 plus years ago. OK they may have changed as we get older, but do you accept them as friends???? Bit of an odd one that.......

2008 End of Year Party done. 1st fry up of 2009 eaten at 4am this morning on way home. 1st New Years resolution broken at 4pm this afternoon (had a brandy). 1st broken tooth of 2009 (hence brandy). Back to normal tomorrow!!!!!

Well as I'm transferring the Calendar dates onto the new 2009 one, lets have a review of 2008. Not a bad year overall. There have been some good and bad points. Good Points. 1) Changing jobs to be Civil Enforcement Officer. Yes its not good when cold and wet, but pay is the same as the old office job which stressed me out and I do love the work! 2) Holiday in New Forest (first week of May). Little did we know, that was as good as the weather was going to get. 23c in New Milton and getting the only suntan of the summer! 3) Moving house. Stressful, but nicer to be closer to town. 4) Making new good friends. Clifford and Dave, Stu and James. Good guys all of them Bad Points. 1) My knee was a problem in the Summer, but I have to live with that 2) The amount of alcohol I was drinking by the summer due to old job. Not a good time. 3) The failure to stop smoking. It has to go in 2009 4) The weather. No real summer and no real snow seen in 2008. 2009 must be better! There we have it. Mixed fortunes. Working tomorrow so will only be out from 11pm onwards.

Tattoo's does it get into the blood? I have 5 currently. I'll list by location and date 1- Owl in blue flames. On right hand side by appendix. Hurt like hell but for Sheffield Wednesday my team. Oddly since done in 1999 Wed have gone up in flames and in the s***e. Good luck symbol, not. 2_ Chinese symbol meaning Tiger. Upper left arm my Chinese birth symbol for year. 3_ Chinese symbol meaning lucky. Upper left arm above number 2. Done after I came out of hospital in 2000 after I'd been given 10% of living in intensive care following illness. 4- Southern TV logo. Upper right arm. 2002. Done on a drunkern night out. My Dad Closed Southern Down at the transmitter. 5- 07-07-07 On right shoulder blade. My Civil Partnership day/wedding day. Done after the event on a cocktail of not nice drugs. Hurt like hell. So the question is.-Do I have another? And if so where? LOL

Slightly better today- well enough to go to work- on lates which will show that I'm not a sickness freak hopefully). So work at 1315 till 2245. Nice And same tomorrow night! And as for the diet? The only thing I fancy eating is plain rice. Which is nice.............

Was in work yesterday- having been off sick with a cold last Tuesday, when at lunchtime I went into the toilet and promply threw up solidly for 5 minutes. Came home from work, and threw up all afternoon and then it started from another area. Therefore, I am in bed as a type this. So thats my sickness record out of the window, but no way am I going to work like this.

OK so day splits into 2 Normal daytime, got the ceiling decs up (via Jeremy Kyle and Trisha). Helped Darren's mother (my mother in law) sorted a loft of winter clothing out and charity shop stuff out. And then had chinese take away. Till 1 hr ago. And Kieron came over. Our mate Dave over the road has been burgled. Badly. So a lovely day has ended with a mate in pain. In his words he "feels like he's been raped". That not words. His. Poor Dave has lost TV, DVD, Camera, Pixil Camera, his lounge cushions"?!?!!" and his Jaguar sports bag from school. D+C police been round but not a chance of getting anything. And to copp it worse? He's off to Brussels tomorrow morning on hols at 6am. Poor Sod. Sorry if I swore I would, but I could spit. 2 hrs out for a drink with us and this happens........

Well it's been a long time since I updated so here goes. All been very quiet, love my new job as a Civil Enforcement Officer- the rota takes some getting used to, but nearly 3 months in, I think I can remember it by now! Off to Germany on Saturday to see the Christmas Markets - of course I have developed a stinking cold yesterday so lovely Tescos have sold me some cold treatments. Time for North West Tonight to see the snow- nothing here!

Cold but dry here in Plymouth. However starting to cloud over from the North- bet it brings rain mind! Yup 15 minutes later it's...................... RAINING

Very very sad news- a true giant in the BBC Weather forecasting. Rest in Peace and hopefully he'll have his favorite weather in heaven!

I am now a fully fledged Parking Attendant again. I love it. Not working until Wed now. A lovely long weekend!!!! (PS if you live in Plymouth, please be nice to me- I'm a good guy. Honest)

Horrid weather in Plymouth. Starting to turn more showery. 2 people sadly killed and weather blamed in Plymouth overnight in a car accident on the A374 (Embankment). The road always floods in heavy rain. http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/news/kille...il/article.html

Having just come back from Didcot in Oxon, it was certainly a lot cooler there compared to Plymouth earlier; a real feel of Autumn in the air.

Nice sunny day here, but the 1st shower is just on the horizion sadly.

When beauty and evil meet. That is an unbelieveable picture Delta :o

Cloudy here, but looking over towards Plympton, I can see some blue sky. Not proper August weather for a holiday mind.

I'd forgotten that clubs stay open till 5am Today I feel

We are moving across the city, decided to move close to the city for a while. Anyone got any bubble wrap?

Well followers of my blog will know the stress of my worklife. So finally....... Having been stressed out, team stuff (most of which I hate), I was referred to Occ Health at work.And hopefully this means I will become a CEO (in old terms a Traffic Warden again). I can't wait. Seriously. No more team giving me grief- just life on street. Life can be odd, but I'm going back to life 4 yrs ago. And I cannot wait.

Started lovely here- but going hazy in the west towards Cornwall. Temp 17c at the moment.

I have woken up and according to NHS Direct I have shingles. I haven't been feeling too well for a couple of days now- but the itchiing is awful. I had chicken pox when I was 6, so this is certainly shingles. Doctors tomorrow.

:lol: :o :o :o :o Not a song contest anymore. Looks like Terry's done his last one as well. Time to pull out sadly.
