BLOG 16

Hyia peeps, long time no blog eh?

Well what can I say, been busy moving house and not feeling up to doing much....but a swift kick up the pants and here I am again :o)

So let's start with the moving house bit.......

As you may...or not....know at the end of last year I moved down to live with my mam in Dolgellau. It was only for a few days...but I ended up there for a few months lol. I enjoyed being home for a while but it's not the same as having your own little corner to do your own thing is it?

Anyway I found a nice house to rent back in Anglesey....Holyhead.....It's an old house full of character and a lot bigger than I thought it would be! Mind you that's me all over lol, I hadn't even seen the house....apart from the outside of it on Google Maps :o).... before I took it on, and I moved in the day I came up and had the keys. Well technically, I didn't get the keys, my sons did as they were delivering my three piece and bits and bobs, so they got to see it first :o)

I think that I will be happy here....unless my gypsy wanderlust kicks in again lol :o).

My granddaughter has been staying a lot since I've got back and I love having her here, and it's good to see my grandsons on a regular basis now too, as they are all close by. I have missed having my little family around me :o).

There's loads left to do for me to be completely settled in, I still need a few things around place,and I need to do some decorating to put my own little stamp on it, but I guess it'll all come right in the end eh? It's actually a Grade II listed building, and the only down side is that I don't have a garden :o( There is a small....as in small.... courtyard in the back which will be ok to sit in in the summer, when it's been cleared and a few flower pots put down :o)

My granddaughter has had another guinea pig :o) He is called Taz and I'll put up his picture later when my computer decides to play ball. He has settled down great with Olly, and Olly is very protective of him, always nuzzling him and purring at him. It's funny to watch them together. For example, when they are allowed to run free in the living room and they get separated for some reason, Taz starts on this high-pitched squeaking until he hears Olly doing his purring bit and they nuzzle when they find each other...aww sweet yeah?

Huh, even the guinea pigs get more nuzzling and cuddles than I do :o(

I had to laugh the other night, I was sitting watching telly....minding my own business, when this car sped past the window closely followed by a police car with blue lights flashing. Nothing unusual there you might say given as it's in a town....but....a couple of minutes later they came back down, went round the roundabout and back up! This happened three or four times....it was hilarious to watch :o) Not that I'm condoning criminal activities at all, and I know someone could have been hurt, but it was a 'had to have been there moment' :o)

Facebook.... I'm getting a bit bored with it at the moment, it's all same old same old...'like' this and 'share' that all the time, and it annoys me that people can be so two-faced with their friends on it. Also it keeps changing the format and it's keeps letting people in after I've blocked them. I block for a reason facebook! And what's with the 'people you may know' parlavara...is that how you spell it?... I clicked on one the other day and I had no idea at all who they were, no friends in common or anything, so how would I know them eh? Also going through my friends list I noticed some of them didn't have a profile picture just a silhouette.... I think that's how it's spelt, and spell checker isn't disagreeing with me, so perhaps it's right...or spellchecker doesn't know either lol.... and I didn't recognise any of the names. Clicking on them a message came up saying this account has been deactivated, only you can see 'Fred's' name, and then an option to unfriend!! WTF?!?! How can I unfriend when I hadn't friended in the first place. Seriously Facebook needs to sort itself out good and proper >:o<

Ooooh look I'm having a rant lol :o)

Sad to say there's been a couple of changes in the extended family... well, sad in a way, because life is short and if it isn't working, even though you've tried to make it work, at the end of the day it's better to call it a day and hopefully remain friends....maybe even get back together. All you can do is be there for your kids, no matter how old they are, a hug from mam is still appreciated. :o)

I really can't believe how long it's been since my last blog, they say time flies when your having fun...not that that is the reason why. I mean I could go on and on and on at how busy I have been.... apart from the bit I told you about at the beginning....do try to keep up peeps :o) but truth be told I just didn't feel the inclination to sit down and write. Needless to say, now I've started I can't seem to shut myself up lol.

Well I once again missed seeing the Red Arrows in Valley last month. They were stopping there for refuelling before continuing with their four capital flight in the run up to the Olympics. Fortunately thanks to my pal I have a few pics, diolch blod, and for the photos from the Rhyl Airshow, I would have loved to have gone but with all the walking involved I had no chance, never mind eh, still have piccies. :o)

What do you think of the Olympics so far then? Nice to see Team GB doing well in their team and individual events. Congratulations to the medal winners and good effort to those who have been unlucky. Did you all catch the opening ceremony? I felt it was a bit boring right in the beginning especially the Industrial Evolution bit, but it soon picked up. It was great to see so many countries gathering together and putting aside their differences, and their delegation marching proudly behind their country's flag. The best bit for me was the end when they created the cauldron and lit it and the firework display which followed. Brilliant, can't wait to see what they have in store for the closing ceremony eh?

Anyway my dear readers, thank you for taking time to read this and I will not leave it so long before the next instalment ;o)

Keep safe and happy xxx
