The most recent picture of me…taken on Monday at Wembley, underneath the Wembley Arch…wet and cold!


JIMBO IS OUR KING!

For this theme, I chose to take a photo of one of my Cow Parade ornaments – the MooShoe :-)

Cow Parade was started in 1999 and is a public art event where the artists decorate life size cows which are then displayed in and around the host city before being auctioned for charity. After each event smaller versions are also released for general sale. For more info click here.

Appetizer: Wii, Playstation or XBox?

I still only have a PSone!

Soup: Would you ever go skydiving?

yes

Salad: Name a sequel that you think is better than the original movie.

Toy Story 2

Main Course: Share your most wonderful birthday celebration.

I really enjoyed my 21st good food, drink and company ;-)

Dessert: If you dare, post a picture of yourself making a silly face.

errr no lol

Another contribution from mummy j, i promise i have not altered the names ;-)

An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, are in Alberta . Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots.

Seeing some on sale one day, he buys them, wears them home, walking proudly.

He walks into the house and says to his wife, “Notice anything different about me?”

Margaret looks him over, “Nope.”

Frustrated Bert storms off into the bathroom, undresses, and walks back into the room completely naked except for the boots.

Again, he asks, a little louder this time, ‘Notice anything different NOW?’

Margaret looks up and says, “Bert, what’s different? It’s hanging down today it was hanging down yesterday, and it’ll be hanging down again tomorrow.”

Furious, Bert yells, ‘AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT’S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?’

Nope,’ she replies.

IT’S HANGING DOWN BECAUSE IT’S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!!’

To which Margaret replies……..
“Shoulda bought a hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat.”

…and officially arranged to have the day off work today (I Love Alice!) :-)

Another adventure firmly into chick lit territory for this one. Not the most believable plot, but easy enough to read with a few chuckles along tyhe way. A good beach book, but as you’d expect from chick lit, not one that’ll hurt the brain!

Apologies for my lateness this weekend, but it’s been a bit of a manic week and I completely forgot to do my post before leaving for work on Friday night, then yesterday was a bit pre-occupied with football!

I was meant to be doing the Manchester 10k this morning, but managed to fall down the last couple of stairs again last week and so woke up feeling like I’d been shot in the hip and had to give it a miss :-(

Anyways, here’s my picture for this week’s theme of candy – a box of chocolates that Rupert bought me for my birthday. It was full when the pic was taken, but then my little sister arrived for a visit and it’s now a bit emptier!

We’re the famous Stockport County

and we’re going to Wem-ber-ley!

(even if it means I have to find a new day job lol)

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets?

Just below my shoulders now with layers and roots that are half the length of my hair ( I do have a hair appointment booked to sort them out).

Main Course

What kind of driver are you? Courteous? Aggressive? Slow?

Don’t drive, i get bad enough road rage as a passenger!

Dessert

When was the last time you had a really bad week?

Not sure, nothing sticks out as such, so i suppose that’s a good thing :-)
