4 months since my last post !!!!!!!!

Ok i know they say time flies but didnt realise it was super-sonic.  I cant believe it has been over 4 months since my last post.  Its been a hectic time both wedding plans and family matters.  We have seen the hottest summer for many years, summer holidays and also halloween.  Next up November 5th and then Christmas !!!

Well first of all our wedding day draws ever closer and we have gone from nine months to go to only five months !!  Plans are going well and we have got a lot sorted out already, although there is still lots to organize and arrange.   Debs parents came over at the beginning of September and helped sort out a lot of things I couldnt be involved with (wedding dress etc ....).  We had a great week and it went really quick.

Summer lasted a lot longer than it usually does and me and Deb did our fair share of making the most of it (living in the UK you have to).  The dog got walked two to three times a day and no matter how much she was walked she still wanted more (no idea where dogs get their energy).  Saw a lot of the family as well with my sister Mandi coming up three times over Summer.

The football season has started again and after the abysmal showing by both the women and the u21 England teams this was a welcome.  Liverpool are holding their own in the Premier League and sit third just behind Arsenal (who we play away tomorrow) and Chelsea (on goal difference).  Apart from one or two dodgy results (most noticeably the 1-0 defeat at home to Southampton) we have played some good attacking football.  Sturridge and Suarez appear to have a good understanding and the goals are flying in at present.  Coutinho should be back soon and that could add another dimension to our attacking abilities.  Hope it lasts.

Been doing quite a bit of gaming and recently discover the Batman games for pc (Arkham Asylum and Arkham City).  Just started Asylum and its very involving and not just a smash em up.  I know the Arkham Origins has just come out but it will be a while before I get that.  I have both Game of the Year editions with the extra content so that should keep me amused for quite some time.  Do to my power switch breaking i was without my Alienware pc for a week and boy did i miss it.  I went from a 4gb ram, 1 gig graphics gaming system to a 1 gig and 128mb graphics.  I couldnt do anything other than surveys and email.  Still it was worth the wait and my pc is now back firing on all cylinders.  Good job because these games need good graphics and RAM.

Had a few health scares and awaiting some test results at the moment but other than that all goes well and life is good.  Glad to say that some of the family who have been ill are now recovering and getting back to normal.  Also nice when doctors and specialists say something and then get proven wrong.  Always good.

Been watching a lot of TV including Bones season 8 (very good but gets more gory every season).  Also watched a fair few films (too many to through but suffice to say some have been good and some erm.............not so good).

As most of my friends and family know I am one day into my Movember campaign to raise both money for and awareness off Prostate Cancer.  I have two other members of my team Mo Tiv Nation and they are Debs brother Paul and my mate Tony.  We are all going to try and raise as much money as we can and have already had several pledges.  Go team Mo Tiv Nation !!!!!!!!

Still on the same subject I was shocked after reading on www.prostatecanceruk.org that 1 in eight white men and 1 in four black men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lives !!!!!!!!!!!

Havent done a lot of writing lately although I did write a Halloween poem the other day which I am posting here.  I will be doing a lot more writing now as the other day I also had a poem published in the North Staffordshires monthly bee-keeping magazine and have been informed that they will publish more if I write them !!!!!!!

Yesterday we had our first Halloween party and when I have collected and sorted through all the photos that were taken by various people then I will be uploading them here.............watch these pages.  Everyone had a great time and there were a lot of laughs had by all (particularly when we did speed mummy wrapping ..........dont ask.........lol).  All in all a success and this may be the start of a regular thing.
