Week Forty and Forty One

As you may or may not be aware I didn’t do a post last weekend, the reason for this is that I woke up at 6.30 pm with a head that felt like it had gone a few rounds with Andy Murray’s Racket and a mouth as dry as the Sahara desert, yes you would be right in thinking I had  beer hangover from hell, the hangover was very much worth it as the night before was one the best nights out I have had in a long long time! Here are some pics to prove it sorry for the state of us but this was towards the end of the night!

The photo’s I neglected to say are of me, daughter and brother and I can add that we were all as bladdered as the other!

Oh dear these were at the end of the night !

So this week was just as uneventful as last week ,except I took Evie out to tea and we caught a movie at The Vue, Cleveleys, I love this cinema as it has extra room for your legs! We went to see The Amazing Spiderman , I can tell you if you like superhero movies this is a definite, if you are in your forties you may remember the cartoon series , well they based spiderman on this and therefore it turned out to be very witty the special effects were great too , here is a clip of it!

Unless you don’t live in the UK or have been away you would have been hard pushed not to notice the lack of a certain large yellow thing that usually resides in the sky sometimes surrounded by clouds, but of late these same clouds have decided to precipitate quite a lot of water on the UK , by Sunday I know I had ,had enough so when the Yellow thing formally known as the SUN decided to don it’s hat I was the first to exploit this! Wearing shorts and t-shirts and armed with plenty of liquid refreshments and goodies , a few of us went down to our local Park to watch a local band. And I must say this was probably one of the best ideas i have had in years. The park in question was Stanley Park and the band Rupert Fabulous.

These are the ones I took

These are a selection that my friends 8 year old boy took I better watch out!

The flowers were also in full bloom in the park I manged to take a few pics here are some for your viewing pleasure!

The one below was my favourite display of them all and very apt for this years celebrations it’s  a good year to be a Brit 😀

Off camping next weekend so hopefuly I will have a tale or two tell until then Have a Superb week at least Monday is over!

Week Thirty Nine

Wow 14 years ago I had a little boy and now that baby is all growed up and man has he grown!

Euan!

We all went to West Coast Rock Cafe for Euan birthday dinner , everyone enjoyed the food and the adults enjoyed a cheeky drink or two. Here are some pics from the day I forgot my camera so they are sub quality mobile pics!

The Birthday Boy and his firework Cake!

From the left back:Ben, Euan,Nathaniel, Nathan and Bradley!

Euan with Ellie, John and John’s pinky!

Euan’s Cake!

The fudgealistic desert with firework

This like promised was a short post this week as nothing really has happened, so I shall say fare well and leave you with the official Olympics 2012 song by the Muse, I am unsure still as to whether I like it sounds like a queen track but listen for yourselves and see ya all soon!

Week Thirty Eight

This week has been a busy week at work again another 6 days in! The only good things about this is that I get more pennies to spend at the weekend and the weather is bloody awful, a months rain fell in 48 hours and the winds were extremely strong!  Also this week England managed to play themselves out of the group stage and top at that, well done boys ! Now just the Italians to overcome! Just three little words!

Unless you have just arrived in the UK you will be aware that there is a torch making it’s way around the UK, well this Friday so Blackpool’s turn to host the running and festivities but unfortunately the weather spoiled it a bit but all was not lost as the local newspaper here put it!

Ok so because the weather here is totally crappy I took very few pics from this week but a week ago me and Evie took Bella on a photo shoot to the beach at Cleveleys with a couple of friends so enjoy the pics peeps!

The stretch of beach we walked on was so muddy check Bella out she’s a mucky pup! Our flipflop kept sinking so we attached them too her lead.

As you can see Bella loves water in any form, she loves to chase ducks in the lake at Stanley park, run through puddles when it’s rained and jump the waves at the beach!

I dragged Evie around Blackpool this Saturday looking for some patriotic gear for my camping trip to London this summer! Here are some picks of what I picked up

First up I got me some bracelets and rings not very patriotic but keeping with the British mix as English Rose just need a top to go with these, also got me some red white and blue bracelets I love these and also I couldn’t resist this nail polish set!

I can’t wait to try some designs with these polishes , I may be being Patriotic for a while this summer!

I can’t wait to wear the scarves especially the stars and stripes one maybe 4th July watch this space! Thought I may try this bun too although I do envision disasters, and this hair mist smell gorge!

Like I said before the weather is awful at the moment and then it hit me  Wimbledon starts Monday go figure! Our only hope of British success lies with a Scottish boy , although Nadal is my personal favourite, so hope you enjoy the rest of the football tournament whatever becomes of England tonight and the tennis next week I know I will, and I will leave you with my favourite bit from  the Hackney 2012 last night of course it’s Jay Z

You can still watch my 366 challenge at my flickr page and see what I have been taking pics of!

Thanks for stopping by and reading!

Week Thirty Three/Thirty Four/Thirty Five and Thirty Six!

As you can tell by the weeks title I have been AWOL for  three weeks , in my defense I was out of the Country, Yes you guessed it I was on holiday on the beautiful white Isle of Ibiza, at Port Des Torrent a lovely resort just south of San Antonio. Me and the boy had a fabulous relaxing time with my friends family, we did absolutely nothing for 11 days and loved every minute of it!  so you don’t want me yapping on so here are a few of my favourite snaps from the holiday, I will be adding some to my facebook account if you want to see more and also to my Flickr account so here we go the Holiday Snaps!

6am in the morning 23rd May 2012 the beginning of the Ibiza adventure.

The Sirenis Seaview Country Club our home for the next 11 days!

Various views from around the Hotel!

The boys Scuba Diving!

Some snaps of San Antonio, the boys had a go at Para gliding here!

These are snaps of the old quarter in Evissa (Ibiza Town) also some quirky shots below!

These are some pics from a Sunset Cruise we went on but before the sunset the captain of the ship spotted some dolphins.

These Beasties were everywhere I loved them but my friend wasn’t to keen!

This is the water-park that was attached to our hotel and was free for us to use Result!

And last but not least I think the boy enjoyed his holiday although he doesn’t give a lot away and very rarely breaks into a smile, so here are some pics of him enjoying himself

And one last look at what we saw every morning when we got up !

There is no 366 challenge pic this week as I have all them to catch up on if you want to see them check my flickr out, anyways I hope you enjoyed my holiday pics as much as I enjoyed taking them and normal service will resume next weekend!

Week Thirty Two

Hope everyone has had a productive week, I have been very busy buying clothes for our Holiday which is a week on Wednesday! I can’t wait now , so this week will probably drag! I never got down to a sixteen so I had to buy a wardrobe full of clothes good job I saved just in case!

Mine and the boys new togs for the hols!

Congrats to Blackpool Football Club for making it to the Play Off Finals again! We have one game standing between us and the Premiership and of all the teams in the Championship it has to be the Hammer, so come pool we believe , take the game too them and lets go back up!

This week I received my last glossybox, I decided to stop this month as most of the products were cremes or hair products and I was thinking this was more of a beauty box with makeup and polish samples , anyways £12 for a product your not happy with has to go, so here is what I got this month , it was a Au natural box which included beauty balm, lip sols, hair serum ,hand creme and an eye pencil!

I may have to take the boy to see this this week also looks very funny!

It has been a lazy time in the Procky house this week as you can see by the animals in the pic below!

Here are my photo’s for the 366 challenge!

One last thing come Man City you can do it and Good Luck this afternoon lets knock United of the top once and for all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Week Thirty One

Well all! What an up and down week, thats without going to the funfair, It started of really good , but ended very sadly! OK where to start, as you know last week was my friends Granddaughters birthday, so me and Evie decided to kidnap her for the day and took her to the Disney Store, this is mine and Evie’s favorite place ,I know I know sad but I love me some Disney magic better than real world shite any day! They were fabulous , I bought her a Belle dress , great choice this is my favourite Disney movie and then the Disney Crew had her name put on the big screen with Mickey Mouse she was more than thrilled with this, look at that grin!

The little munchkin stayed over Sunday Night too and decided she wanted to take a couple of pics for my blog, the two that aren’t her , she took , her only direction was pull a silly face so we obliged lol 😀

We all went to see the avengers this week and WOW what an excellent film , if you like superhero movies you are gonna love this trust me!

Favourite Quote:

Thor: He’s my brother
Natasha Romanoff: He killed 80 people in 2 days
Thor: …He’s adopted

And here is a Shout Out to Blackpool FC Come on Boys you can do it, one more game then we are off to Wembley for the play off finals, we know you can do it! Sea sea seasiders!

And on a very sad note, our family cat died today , he would have been 18 years old this September which is a grand age for a Cat, so hope he is chasing his tail and those mice in cat heaven RIP Simba! you will be fondly remembered and sadly missed.

and here is his song after all he was named after this famous Lion Cub!

And finally here are my next six 366 challenge pics!

Week Thirty

WOW we are on week Thirty all ready , three weeks and I going on holiday , where is this year going, it feels like every time I go to sleep another month has passed me by! May is going to zoom by without too much help from me! So what happened this week, not a lot again , I am still keeping up with the spinning classes , the first one is great , the second one is tough and third one I just want to swear at but nothing worth doing comes easy , so they say!  They also say this month was the wettest on record, today it has done nothing but , it’s bouncing of the pavements , so needless to say most of my 366 challenge has been indoors not to worry as long as we get a half decent summer the rain is worth it!

First up I want to wish Miss Lexy-Megan Brown Happy 4th Birthday, this little one is my friends Grandaughter but is like family she actually turns 4 this week but by next Sunday it will be old news. She is a star, apart from our shared love of all things Disney, at the tender age of 4 she also has a love for nail polish, fantastic I say! but she is not a typical 4 year old girl as rather than liking pinks and pastel shades she prefers her bold colours, take for instance the dress in the picture , I chose a lovely pink to match the belt , I know Lexi would have preferred the navy blue lol, she is ace 😀

Here is a little montage of Miss Lexi-Megan Brown for your viewing pleasure!

This Saturday I thought I was going to the grand opening of my brother Pub The Traveling Hamster (Pub Shed!), when we arrived all was quiet on the western front , it turns out I had arrived 4 weeks too early PMSL sorry I am always either late or extremely early ,oh well I got to have a sneaky peek!, my brother and sister in law have great imaginations and are great artists not the drinking kind either, I can’t wait for summer here! so I have a little montage of pics for you!

My brother is also a talented sculpture , he can make things out of anything including the rolls inside till receipts which he can turn into props for Dungeons and dragons games , here is another set of pics of some of his wares, he sells most of these things on ebay!

They also have a talented dog , I like to call him KangaDog, I bet he could leap tall buildings! Meet Milo the Jumping dog!

The last photograph made me and my brother laugh so hard , it looks like Milo has splatted against the wall. No animals or human were hurt during the photography session!

Lastly my brother has a very eclectic garden, I love things that aren’t meant to be there, this garden is full of them , my favorite is the Pond with the acer tree behind it , below are some pics , nearly done with the pics now phew I here you say!

And finally here are my pics from the 366 challenge which of course you can view in full detail on my flickr page , link is too the right!

Have a great week and thanks for reading!

Week Twenty Nine

First of l need to say!

Get In there Pool!

4-0

Well done lads awesome win over Burnley just one more game then we have another chance at the play offs then maybe the Premier League, I am so proud to be a seasider today!

Okay now I have exactly 5 weeks before I go on holiday! I am in a dilemma as whether to buy the size in clothes that I am then sell them on when I  get back, or to buy the size below me and risk losing the extra bit of weight that I need to shift! I really don’t know what to do, I may just go for a try on and if the size below is nearly fitting , say If I can fit into them but they are a tad tight, then maybe I will buy!

So as you may have guessed this week has been a really boring week to document as all I have done is Work, eat ,gym,sleep in that order , so here are a couple of pics of the animals!

I think Bella had spotted Ali climbing on the fence !

I had my eyes tested last week and needed my glasses changing , as my reading glasses need to be stronger , so here is the pic I promised of my new glasses!

This weekend so giants walking around Liverpool, unfortunately I was unable to go because of the car, which by the way is ok now, anyways the Giants were in aid of the commemorating the sinking of the Titanic which have been held worldwide for it’s 100 year!

The spectacle was called  Sea Odyssey and was about a little girl trying to find her uncle who had a letter from her father who died when the  Titanic sank, the Giants walked around Liverpool over three days , it looked extraordinary seeing these puppets making the cities landmarks look small, below are some pics and some video footage  from the weekend!

Week Twenty Eight

Not a lot to report this week, I had quite a bit of overtime at work so when I wasn’t there I was catching up on sleep, but I did manage to get a photo shoot in with the cats they do show off you know!

Here is a couple more shots of the day of Boo this cat knows when to play at the camera!

I love this one, he loves sticking his tongue out at me!

Took Bella a walk on a different route today via a local park and came across this I love finding quirky things like this!

And here is Bella chewing up a stick, plenty of fiber in this dogs diet!

And in honor of my furry boys! Here is a video compilation of one of my favourite musicals, I went to see this at the New London theater in 1980 , on the second week it showed Brian Blessed , Elaine Paige, Wayne Sleep, Paul Nicholas and Bonny Langford headlined , I even got to hold some kittens (real) in the interval, I felt so honored at the young age of 10 years experiencing this phenomenal show  , I thought I would share it with you all!

And finally here are my 366 photo’s from this week hope you like , if you want to know the stories behind the pic click on my flickr link.
