Cocktails in the rain, originally uploaded by mattgarrett.

The skies opened up while i was sitting with a friend sipping cocktails last monday afternoon.

N.B. This is a test post of a photo taken on my mobile phone and sent via email to flickr, which then automatically created the post above.

It appears I need to rotate the photos on my phone before sending them, but I’m happy it’s working, I can now post photos on my blog while I’m out and about!

After dropping off the “X2B” (ex-wife to be) at work the other morning, as I needed the car, I decided to drop in to Tesco’s to pick up some vital supplies and treat myself to a fried breakfast, as it’s so damned cheap in Tesco’s.

when I got to the cuttlery and condiments bit to grab a knife and fork I was a little surprised to find that there were only plastic knives..

The forks and spoons were all metal, as usual, but not the knives..

So I popped back to the cashier to ask if I could get a metal knife.

Nope.

Apparently they’ve all been stolen and her boss won’t let her order more.

It’s friday night, so instead of just working (and catching up on my blog posts, which I should be doing) I seem to have eneded up on youtube checking out the funny videos again and this one I just had to share.

If you’re not a fan of Mondays and you’re always looking forward to friday afternoon, like who doesn’t, then it’s cool to see that the animal world has the same problems as us poor “sheeple”…

I’ve been intending to post about my recent trip to Wroclaw in Poland with “the posse”, but still haven’t found time, although that’s probably because facebook is sucking up my spare time at the moment…

If you haven’t checked out www.facebook.com yet you really should, it’s not only the 7th most popular site in the world, with over 200,000 new members signing up each day, it’s also real cool and a lot of fun.

It’s also kind of cool for catching up with old friends, I managed to catch up with a couple of people who I’ve not been in touch with in years, one of whom (Marlon Pritchard) has since moved to Australia…

it’s not like I’ve got the spare time for this, but I’ve set up yet another blog today, maybe I’m becoming a blog addict..

I’ve now got so many blogs that I could spend all day just posting to them and I wouldn’t get more than one post per blog done…

as an example, Col and I went to whatch the movie “shoot em up” tonight, and although I haven’t done it yet, I will be posting what I thoght of the movie on my tv, films and movies blog tomorrow. I would have done it already but I’ve just spent the last hour or so posting stuff on 5 other blogs that I have, although those are money making blogs, so they tend to get priority.

Wow! An August bank holiday and it wasn’t raining!!!

I guess we were long overdue a bit of sunny weather, it’s not exactly been a great summer this year…

As the weather was good, I thought I’d take a trip out somewhere for the heck of it and ended up at Bristol Zoo.

I have been before, but it was quite a few years ago and I had a vague memory of there being an underwater gallery where you could watch the enguins and seals swim, I was right…

I just had to post this.

Somehow I ended up on Youtube today, it was work related, honest!

anyway, I spotted this and wanted to share, once I’d finished laughing…

Snake Attacked by Savage Bunny

You’ll have to go to YouTube to watch it, as my blog theme doesn’t like video objects being embedded in it for some reason..

I have to admit that I’m feeling fairly chuffed at the moment, although somewhat tired..

The launch of my new book is going pretty well, over 280 sold in the first 2 weeks, and I’ve already had a bunch of cool feedback from buyers.

I decided not to outsource the support for the book to a “HelpDesk” service as it’s my first Internet Marketing product and I want to make sure the customers are looked after, but it does mean quite a bit more work.

I’m taking a bit of time off this weekend with Ira and my kids, as the Moscow State Circus is in town and we’ve got tickets to go see it, which I’m looking forward to. I’m 37 and never been to a circus before, how sad is that!

We went to see the new movie “Curse of the Golden Flower” last week.

I admit it wasnt my choice, I was hoping to watch Shooter, but Ira wasn’t too keen for some reason, and it was her turn to pick what we watched..

It was one of those movies where the whole place was really quiet, in fact it was so quiet that Ira told me off for munchin my popcorn too loudly, even though the movie had sub-titles…

I can’t say I’d recommend it. Whilst it was visually impressive, it was somewhat predictable and didn’t really “engage” me.
