Well did anybody watch the The Diamond Jubilee: Armed Forces Tribute, either at Windsor or on the television Saturday morning? I watched it live on the TV and I thought it was brilliant. The parade of all the armed forces marching past the Queen and Prince Phillip on the Castle Quadrangle was good but to me the best bit was the flypasts. The first one was a diamond formation of nine RAF Typhoons and later a flypast featuring 78 current and historic aircraft was led by 13 helicopters consisting of Merlin, Chinook, Sea King, and Apache all from RAF Odiham. These were then followed by the historic Lancaster bomber PA474 flying with 4 Spitfires from RAF Coningsby. Then we had 20 Short Tucano RAF trainers from RAF Linton-on-Ouse who flew in formation creating a perfect 60 in the sky over Windsor castle. Next came the RAF transporters..the Hercules, two flew one behind the other. A VC10 RAF Tanker flanked by two Tornado bombers had her fuel hoses out as she flew. These were from RAF Brize Norton. Then we had the fantastic....not that I'm biased lol....Hawk RAF/Navy trainers from RAF Valley flying in formation to show the E 11 R in the sky....brilliant. Last but by no means least....the legendary Red Arrows creating a three dimensional diamond to finish a flypast they should all feel immensely proud of. The skill of the pilots and the hard work of the ground crew and organisers was superb. :oD

Felt a bit cross with myself the other day for allowing myself to get upset indirectly by that 'person' I had 'trouble' with in work. She came up in conversation and it really upset me to realise that she is still getting one over me, and it still brings back the memories of what she did galloping towards me and landing like a depth charge in my gut....I thought I'd gotten over it, or at least put it in a box in the back of everything....obviously it's not going to go away in a hurry....or her either as she is still connected to too many people I know. Don't know what to do to make it better.... :'o(

Meet Olly, my granddaughter's guinea pig, isn't he gorgeous? :o) 

He loves snuggling up to her at the nape of her neck and under her hair, peeping out....lol. I have had the odd....and I mean odd....conversation with him over the phone. I kid you not....I speak and he squeaks lol.

Can you believe that the newest addition to the family....my grandson....is now four weeks old, doesn't time fly when your having fun :o) I'm told he is changing daily, but unfortunately I still haven't met the little man, and joke that he'll be graduating from university before I get to see him :o( ....but that will all change soon I hope and I will be full of news about him :o)

Sitting here writing this and I've just had an idea....yes it did hurt.... :o).... What if I was to do an OU course?

I mean I'm quite intelligent....yes I am....so why not at least look into it? Can't do any harm to look no?

Hmm, I am going to trail through the OU website now to see what's what....
