noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:34:00 +0000

TOO excited just rediscovered how to get on here. YIPPEEEEEEEEEE
That means I need to think of witty and exciting things to write. CRAP.

Since my last Blog I've done very little so quiet proud of myself. Oh I did turn Forty and got into more debt.

I went to see Amanda Palmer in Brighton with some lovely people and had a complete Blast. I've visited the north on my own, driving!!!!! went to Whitby and York oh and Oswaldtwistle (home of the spinning Jenny and beer).

So hopefully this will work

The future we would have wanted

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 16:55:00 +0000

hello all,

Well I was reading the paper on saturday and I got this blog all about the future we never had called paleo-future.blogspot it's fab you should see the classroom of the future. style over content rules the day.

So what's new? well at the weekend we have our NLP exam where we have to do a demo and a written exam which we've already got so it feels more like course work. I've joined the facebook which is a sort of msn talkie type thing and my blog can appear on it which is groovey.

That's it for now

red or dead

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 17:46:00 +0000

Ok so here we are with my bright red hair!!!!! Have too admit it's a completely different colour today. I feel like I've faded like an autumn leaf. I'm at the moment a bright orange but I'll be back to red on monday!

I suppose I should act my age but I'm not completely sure how!

where does the time go?

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 16:55:00 +0000

OK this must be an all time record the last blog note was in January. I've had this niggle to get round to putting something on but have been far to dull to think of anything to write. In fact the whole things changed since I was last on..... speaking of change I've died my hair red!!! well actually it's gone a weird orange now but will be back to bright red soon..... I was trying to upload a picture but it wouldn't let me I'll try again later.

So apologises for disappearing hopefully I'll not do that again for a while.

Thanks for your patience

Love

Borat

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 10:18:00 +0000

This is a quickie........I watched the Borat film the other evening and I was very suprised. I actually kept looking at the screen instead of hiding behind the sofa. Makes some very unsubtle observations about predudice in America. My favourite part is the Rodeo in Texas has to be seen to be believed.

In the mean time angry alien has done it's magic.

Old and new

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 16:42:00 +0000

Hello friends and passers by…..

Firstly allow me to apologise for the long absence of ramblings, no excuse just haven’t got around to it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR by the way.

Have to say I’m glad it’s all done I worked through most of it and didn’t feel enthused about the whole thing really. It’s weird because some years you can get totally engrossed in the whole thing and some years it can just pass you by. I have still got my nieces pressies sat by the fire awaiting their lazy aunt to post them and haven’t sent a Christmas card even to my long suffering parents who were completely lovely about it and said they were just happy with the phone call. I don’t deserve them.

However, on Christmas day I cooked a goose! It was enormous and the fat that kept coming off it was frankly astounding. So dinner went rather well except I smothered my dinner in fat (thinly disguised as gravy). Which sort of spoiled it.

So new year what will it bring….. well we are definitely moving in March may only be to the next road but this time we will get removals in as I think we have stretched friendships too far already over the years and many moves. So you can all breath a sigh of relief.

Hopefully, I’ll finish my NLP Practitioners qual. (look into my eyes not around the eyes directly in the eyes…) I managed to complete my NVQ4 in Advice and Guidance (makes me a qualified busy body!) I did vow that I wouldn’t do any more study after that as my brain is full and frankly, tired! So no more study.

I may give up smoking again, eat less chocolate and stop sleeping in when I should be at work (managed to do it twice this year this may seem an insignificant thing to add but I was actually at work at the time and the staff couldn’t rouse me!) Both times I woke at 9.30am when I should have been up and at it at 8am. Thank goodness for a staff team with a sense of humour.

Ok enough now… love you all thanks for popping round and lets see more of each other this year.

Hi all sorry it's been soooo long lots happenning some good some bad. Normal mad christmas rush lots of work and mad panic trying to get my NVQ finished for a december deadline! which I just about managed with no small amount of stress and very understanding flatmate who kept me going with cups of tea. Thanks Chris you're a star.

The bad is my lovely cousin Kate (or Cake as I use to think she was called when I was small) died from Bowel Cancer after a long struggle. It came as a shock as I didn't know it had reappeared again so the family are well you know, devastated. So for those of you that pray please can you throw one up for the whole family as they are struggling with this. Kate leaves a husband and 2 small children. Also, my lovely aunt has had a stroke and again would appreciate thoughts and prayers as she's in her 80's.

Sorry this isn't full of Christmas cheer but I know there's lots of folk out there who have found christmas to be such a difficult time of year and they may want to leave a message too.

Love

Currying flavour

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 10:50:00 +0000

Hello all,

Well I've been a bit under the weather (what does that mean and where did it come from?) I was given some anti inflamitories* (it's to stop people telling great whopping lies) which have had an er... unsettling effect on me. So I had to take some time off work as I couldn't see straight..... one young person asked me if I'd been drinking (only tea and gaviscon).
* cannot figure out how to spell that even my mobile phone was no help!

Weirdly, I decided to cook as there isn't much else to do and I made my first ever curry from scratch I used stuff like Ghee butter and coconut milk very exciting. Think it was a success so I'm going to work through my curry cook book and hopefully make some nice dinners. Although, Chris is my lab rat and I hope he's not just being nice when he say's he likes it as it only encourages me and he may rue the day!

Bye my friend

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 17:36:00 +0000

Ok here's a bit of a sad one.......

The lovely, clever, witty Rachel has left us to heal the sick in Torquay (lots of bowling injuries) We've only known Rach a short while (about 8 mnths) and in that time she's become a great friend. We sadly waved goodbye to her on wednesday evening and if I'd have realised it was the last night of slobbing around eating pizza and watching science fiction I'd have thrown a big farewell. But I was in a stuppor as I'd over worked recently and hadn't properly taken it all in. However it was probably an appropriate evening.

There are some things I'd like to put out there in cyberland. Rachel is a person that when you meet her she makes you feel important and worth listening to. She's VERY bright and can think of witty comments for all situations which is no easy thing to do. She's a glamorous, funny, sexy, kind, loyal and loves her friends too bits. She is someone I'm so glad I've met and so sad she's gone. Bournemouth is a little less fun without her.

So Rachel just to let you know we are going to miss you and have loved spending time with you there's always a spare bed for you here.

You're our Amazonian Goddess.

Love ya mate

The Return

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 08:53:00 +0000

Before I get into this can I say a big thank you to island monkey who recomended that I see this film. Ta.

I bought it on amazon and I'm sorry to say it got slightly damaged en route. But I managed to get around that. This is a beautiful film and you've all just got to watch it. In a nut shell, two brothers are raised by mum and gran in a small Russian town and suddenly dad appears after a 12 year absense. The boys react differently to this appearence and oh you know what I don't want to ruin it. Just to say the acting is sublime by all the cast and the directing and camera work is well fabulous. It's a lovely subtle journey of relationships which is filled with mystery. That's what I love about foreign films is they don't explain everything it's more abut the experience and journey than understanding all sides.

Anyhoo, give it a go and report back...

In fact borrow mine.

Chris turns 40.

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 10:54:00 +0000

Hello all,

Just wanted to mark the occasion. My lovely flatmate Chris is 40 years old on sunday and one of the many joys of having him as a flatmate is that I get access to his computer and all his downloaded photos. Here are but a few.

Chris and I have known each other since '01 and in that time he has been a constant friend. He's got a lot to put up with! Chris is such a star he loves his friends to pieces and will do anything for them (go on ask him) He's caring, never holds a grundge always sees the best in people and loves playing on the XBOX. I have to say he's also my boss and he is one of the good ones (we know there are so few of those) He's passionate about Yoga, XBOX, Art, Music and, oh yes, his friends. He is basically a good egg and is a brill flatmate.

We're off to London on saturday and probably going to the Portraite gallery I really want to go to the Tate Modern and play on the slide (I hear you go 30 mph on it) and then on his big day a quite day of coffee, cake and papers then a moroccan evening (casseroles).

Unsure how he feels about the big 4 0 but I just want to say you're the most young at heart chap I know so........

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY CHRIS.

A year that was...

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 09:39:00 +0000

Hello all,

I've just spent a lovely hour re reading all my entries on here. I did it as I realised that it's nearly a year since I started such a lot has happened this year and didn't realise till I looked back...... babies have been born, birthdays attended, Visits from friends from far away places, day's out in London, Portland and deepest dorset, engagements (and break ups), announcement of a new family member to arrive, New hair dos, lots of new shoes, spray on tans, visits from friends pets and most importantly a huge amount of trivia including silly films and sillier pictures. Intersting to read back especially when you think that this is life... filled with small events that may mean very little to the outsider looking in but sort of sum up day to day living. It was a happy hour.

Yesterday I went to Brownsea Island with the 2 Chris's and Amanda such a lovely little place we ate well and walked all around it. Came back on a very rocky boat and was completely knackered. Chris and I then ate an indian (not a real one) which topped the day off.

Chris, as some of you already know, turns forty soon and to celebrate we got the Xbox 360 and I've had to watch him slaughter zombies even since. We did get the Lego Star Wars as well which is too cute for words and more my thing.

that's it for now

Expresso rings

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 14:40:00 +0000

Hello all,

Well press Ring and see the new addition to the bunnies films. It's fab they have managed to make the scariest film ever funny.

Last week I took a week off work and had a fab time pottering around the flat trying to sort it all out as we may have to move after christmas which means figuring out how much junk we've collected over the years. Lots and Lots.

I've had another hair cut and decided to ditch the bob. It's one of those do's that works when you've had it done but is way to complicated to figure out when at home.

hope you like the picture made me laugh

Tom Waits does a fab tribute to Alice so I shall not try myself. Just sit back and enjoy ......Alice

The first picture is when she came to stay all fabulously messy and looking like a gremlin. God love her.

The other is Alice sporting her new hair cut with the lovely Mark. She's sooooo lovely and her fur is really soft and she looks a bit like an otter.

Love that girl

daily dancing..

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 11:09:00 +0000

Hello there,

Well I think it's been way too long since we checked out the daily dancer this guy just makes you want to laugh out loud and maybe dance madly aroung the living room. Although, the last time I did that was on a dance mat in my nighty which was fine until I realised folk were watching through the window!!!

So kudos to daily dancer as we all watch through the window. Maybe, fee and Sarah, we could do this on thursday mornings?

Just a thought.

Crocs and spiders.

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 15:56:00 +0000

Hello all,
Hope you had a lovely Bank Holiday. We went on a walk across most of Dorset! Which was lots of fun if not completely knackering. Lots of time spent eating blackberries. The picture is for the townies amoungst you to clarify that we weren't out buying computers. Also, elderberries which brought back memories of picking for dads wine. We saw calves (you know what they look like) and most impressively a Waspspider see above. Pretty impressive creature nearly trod on her but she kicked my foot out of the way! We found a fab little pub and had cheese and onion sandwitches (why do they use red onion on food that's crying out for strong white onion?). We were talking about crocs a craze thats come from Canada imagine a cut off welly!!! Anyway, I've ordered a rather snazzy pair of red ones (see pic) I'll let you all know if they really are as comfy as advertised.

ok that's it for now thanks for a great day guys and miss all those who weren't there.

I'm not waring a bun!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Sun, 27 Aug 2006 09:54:00 +0000

Ok before I let you all in on the big news I just wish to point out I'm only 38 years old... Please don't lose sight of that. I had a call informing me I was going to be a Great Aunt!!!!! Now as much as I'm really please for my baby niece (21 years yes I know good child bearing age and all that) but she's still the comical little girl who tried, at 2 years of age, to push a poof (small seat not a camp chap who likes caberiet and Judy Garland) with a ham sandwich in her mouth that openned up and the ham flapped about like a big tongue. Very funny moment.

So as I moved not long after the ham butty moment she will for ever 2 years old and cheeky. Although, the cheeky thing is still there. Still as happy as I am Susan, you should have thought of your Aunt Laura who's trying her best to be 20 again and your not ruddy helping by turning me into some aged Great Aunt.

Oh by the way Congratulations Susan ..... and Charlotte not YET.

Take me home to the Black Hills....

noreply@blogger.com (Laura) — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 11:16:00 +0000

Hello all it's review time.

I won Deadwood on ebay. Let's just say Doris Day may have thought twice about taking a visit.

The language will make your hair curl and we wondered if we could watch it and not be put off by the constant swearing. However, the inventive use of some of the naughty words made us laugh out loud. I, as a matter of standard, HATE westerns. However, I'm completely addicted to Deadwood. Ian Mcshane is Amazing, totally believable. In fact, all the characters are. basically we're watching an Outlaw town grow from tents with all the fun and merryment that ensues. So it's one I'm recommending once you get past the swearing it's almost Shakesperian.

I've just won series 2 on Ebay and am hoping it'll hurry up and arrive.

So if you get chance then get hold of this brill series
