92: Saturday 1st October 2011

The first ever wedding I have been to and it was.... interesting :) Felt extremely odd in a dress, ate proper food, watched relatives of the couple 'dance' and met lots of new people.


Kings Lynn is definately far away, over 2 hours drive. But it was worth it for a friend :D Congratulations to Les and Cat. 


Next time I'm there I'll do a bit of exploring.


Score 7/10: It's good seeing old friends happy :)

Helping nin pack for uni brings back memories! Moving into halls at the start of the Star Gate Season, tieing my chair to the car roof... all fun. I'm actually excited and jealous. Happy days Nin, enjoy uni :)

Other than that I'm all set for the wedding. Will blog it when I return.

Also discovered a new fave drink - Drench's cranberry and rasberry water/juice! A little expensive but nice all the same and guess what... wilko's have run out!

Score - 6/10: a nice day :)

94: Thursday 29th September 2011

A simple day.

It is totally amazing how a good physio (aka physiotherapy) session in the gym can have you feeling all motivated and hyper... and a little sweaty. But it was worth it. I'll hopefully get rid of this limp some time soon.

 I also spent a few minutes preparing for a wedding, my first ever wedding but that doesn't include the many hours spent with my sisters help looking for a dress (and shoes etc) thats right! I'll be wearing a dress for the first time since I was 6ish! Scary! and I'm sure a photo will make its way here... but thanks nin! you were great.

If any one has ideas for activities I can try so as to not waste a single day post them :D

oops nearly forgot the score... uuummmmmm

Score 5.5/10: I really need some ideas!

After all that the notorious tooth remains firmly in my head. They decided to do it on the 11th and just look at it today... oh well.

  This was followed by a pointless trip to the job centre. Lunch was a silly too with mushy peas that didn't mush!

BUT!!!!!! I discovered something today. Something that changes the geek world! 

The Orca whale isn't a whale! well kind of. This random magazine I was reading in the hospital called them dolphins, a little research and they are whales that belong to the dolphin family... And how many times have we all said, "the whale one" when talking about a particular star trek movie. We're only half right.

And did you know how to tell the difference between sharks and dolphins? Watch their 'tail'. Sharks go side to side and dolphins... .... you'll guess it. 

Score 5/10: So today was one of those not great not bad just 'dayish' kinds of day

96: Tuesday 27th September 2011

I am in shock! Two good days in a row with only a little annoyance (chores and a url headache).

This morning I did my first shift as a library assistant and was amazed at how community orientated Highfields library is. Learning all the processes that make a library work is fascinating.

This I followed up with a local Magic tournament (magic the gathering that is). But disaster nearly struck!!! With an hour to go I discovered it was a standard tournament and most my cards didn't qualify! 

Luckily I was convinced to buy a deck there and then, and quickly add a few of my own cards that did qualify, and you know what? It was kind of worth the £11(ish) as I came 7th out of 25 and there was some serious players! Well 'chuffed' and very shocked. Got a funky card too... Sun Quan, lord of wu.

Even caught up with an old relative so an epic win for the day.

Score 8/10: It doesn't matter who you are its nice to achieve something in your hobby and be able to compete with peers

up tomorrow... having a tooth removed at the hospital...

97: Monday 26th September 2011

Wow. This is a day I liked! 

Skill up: My first day training as a library assistant was not as scary as I thought it would be and the computer system is amazingly similar to stuff I've already worked with, and I can't wait for tomorrow, my first day at Highfields Library.

Discovery: Did you know that Grimsby Chippy on Welford road has invented Dry salt and vinegar? Very nice taste to it and I don't even like vinegar. Yet I haven't the foggiest how they did it... ...

Lot's of my to do list went wrong (thanks to local and big government) but nothing can beat learning something new.

Score 8.5/10: he/she/ those who dares really do win! it's fantastic. just try stuff, stumble onto new things, dream!

98: Sunday 25th September 2011

Today is a chilled day. Collected first and only batch of tomatoes from the great tomato experiment (too many bugs to continue), created this blog and reassembled 2 consoles and a tv all before breakfast... Watched Dr Who too with boiled eggs (not breakfast). I even hoovered for the first time after the hip operation!

Score 7.5/10: A different kind of good day. Everyone needs time out for little tasks so we're ready to tackle the big things right.

Note: Why is there not a simple guide to the ganz osteoplasty hip op? there is too much doctor gobbledeegook out there!
