  • Rambling On

    I have a job interview tomorrow afternoon, but I have taken the full day, I did contemplate pulling as sickie but decided against it, I’m far to honest for that.  Fingers crossed it will go ok!

     

    I will have plenty time in the morning to do a few jobs around the house as we were the weekend, not a lot got done. I will be exercising first thing, I used to do exercise first thing in the morning, I found  it used to get me ready for the day ahead, I still find the it difficult to get  motivated in the evening, but of my diet I do go out and do it!   

    Rambling a bit I know, but what the heck!

  • 50 MPH

    It’s been a very busy day, and the time has just flown by, I’m nearly ready for the trip home, the traffic looks to be flowing ok, unfortunately I am only able to drive at 50mph, because I have an emergency trye on at the moment. I will take it to Kwik-fit tomorrow and hopefully the can sort it out without it costing am arm and a leg.

  • Did We Land on the Moon

    I watched a program on TV last night called ‘Did we Really Land on the Moon’ I had heard a few of the conspiracy theorists before talking about this, but I had never really taken any notice of it either way. After listening to last nights program there is quite a bit of evidence to back up the theory that the whole thing was staged. However, the spokesman from NASA said how so many people could be able to keep something like that quiet for so long, a good point I think.

     

    It’s another mystery that will go on for a long time; no matter what evidence is available some body will dispute it. It’s bit like the grassy knoll, or the world trade centre all conspiracy or so people will have us believe.

  • Solzhenitsyn Dies

    LONDON (Reuters) - Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Soviet dissident writer and Nobel literature prize winner, has died aged 89, the Interfax news agency reported on Sunday.He died of a stroke, the agency said, quoting literary sources in Moscow.

     

    Solzhenitsyn served with the Red Army in World War Two but became one of the most prominent dissidents of the Soviet era, enduring labour camps, cancer and persecution by Soviet officialdom. His experience in the network of labour camps was vividly described in his "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich."

    His major works, including "The First Circle" and "Cancer Ward" brought him world admiration and the 1970 Nobel Literature Prize.

     

    Stripped of his citizenship and sent into exile in 1974 after the publication of "The Gulag Archipelago", his monumental history of the Soviet police state, the writer settled in the United States, returning to post-Soviet Russia as a hero in 1994.

     

    He was born on December 11 1918, studied physics and mathematics at Rostov University and became a Soviet army officer after Hitler's invasion in 1941.

  • Pro Again

    I have just updated my membership to Pro again after I was demoted to member, the reason I had a new bank card and I forgot to update my card details on here, and the bank didn’t pay them. I forgot another couple of companies and the same thing happened. You would think that the bank would have some mechanism in place that automatically changed the details and paid these people, I know it’s our responsibility but we are only human and we do forget things, well I do anyway!

  • No Photgraphs

    Although I had a relaxing weekend away, I was a little disappointed that I never got the chance to take any photographs, even though I did have my camera with me. I was hoping to get and about and take some pictures, consider Longleat was only about a 15 drive away, next time maybe!

  • Back to Work

    Good morning fellow bloggers and welcome to Monday, am back at work after a relaxing weekend in wet Wiltshire. We didn’t get out at all really chatted and relaxed which was very nice. I did a couple of electrical jobs for my stepson which really was the main reason for going down. It was just a shame the weather wasn’t very good and it was a bit doggy doing electrical work in the wet I can tell you!

     

    The traffic wasn’t too bad, but I got a puncture on the way back, I’ve been very unlucky with tyres on this car for some reason its not the first time I’ve had a puncture, I got one last year coming back from Yorkshire, I got just before Christmas last year and I can clearly remember two others, its cost me a fortune in tyres.
