But at over 3 weeks since my last contribution it's time for a catch up.
Lets start on the sporting front... A continuing losing streak has cost Greenhithe its status in the Premier League. Jo had a Sunday off so she came along to watch our make or break game against 2nd bottom. I scored only my second goal of the season (disappointing seeing as I was at about a goal a game last year) but alas Jo wasn't there to see it. Dave broke his foot (sorry, 4th metatarsal) whilst trying to Roy Keane someone and she had to drive him to hospital.
Big news - me and Rob are moving out. Sick of the damp, the mould and the carpet that is either a horrible design or has been vomited on repeatedly, we've been on the lookout for something new. Our luck was in and we've got a modern 3 level townhouse with double internal garage/mower storage/games room and toilet on the ground level, open plan kitchen, living room and balcony on floor 1 and bedrooms and bathroom on floor 2. It's a bit of a jump in rent but at least I won't have to go to the storage place every morning for my stuff and you won't be able to see your breath when sitting in the living room with the heater on for the last 2 hours (yep, that's what it's like right here, right now).
Last weekend I surprised Jo with a belated birthday gift. We went to feed the stingrays at Kelly Tarltons. First up we were given a tour of the backroom where a very big guy was chopping up fish heads and there was a rehabilitation tank containing a 3 legged turtle. I didn't really want to say anything but it looked extremely dead. Then we got our wet suits and proceeded to the main fish tank to jump in and feed the critters with our guide. I wanted to wear a Steve Urwin mask but she wouldn't let me.
Our guide does a sneaky wee - you'd think she'd know about the dye they put in to stop people doing that.
This one attacks side on for a nibble of Jo's bottom.
In closing, here are a couple of musical things I've learnt recently...
The new Arctic Monkey's album is exactly as long as the time it takes to get from our place to Rob's parents house.
Queen Greatest Hits volume 3 is really stretching the meaning of the word 'greatest'.
