Sam's Journal

I have finally got round to buying the tickets for Amphi fest.

A friends external hard drive has died and we need to retrieve the data off the drive ASAP as it has some important work on it. Does anyone know of a good company to contact?

Thanks for your help.

I am going to another festival this year and it is only 1 hour away from my house, the best thing is you can hire a tent, table and chairs and just move right in.

On Friday I decided to cook dinner like normal, however this time when I lit the gas oven I got a blow back and have burnt my hands and face. I am lucky as I was wearing long sleeves otherwise my arms would have been burt.

What I find really annoying is that the oven has been serviced and worked on at lease 4 times since November as I kept on reporting this problem, or that the thermostat was not working.

Last night/early this morning I dropped V of to catch a coach for sunnier climates for 6 - 7 months. Feeling slightly confused now, not sure what I should do as it will all be by myself. I think today I am going to swim 1 - 2 km, as that should kill about 2 - 3 hours of my day, this includes walking to the pool, stopping of for a coffee and then walking home.

If anyone fancies a shot break to come and visit you are very welcome. We could go clubbing in Köln, or just sit in a coffee shop catching up.

I am looking at buying my Amphi tickets soon. If I buy 6 tickets I am only charged for 5. Is anyone else thinking of going to Amphi, I have 2 spare places.

As my husband was going away for all of November, I decided to go visit friends in Leeds. I have booked the flights and arranged for a house sitter for Missy, then V comes back and informs me that he is home during the time that I am away. Sods law.

I am still going to Leeds for NMA and Wendy House, anyone else going?

One of ours cats went missing on Wednesday, we think she might be locked in a cellar or garage or worst case stolen. We are waiting anxiously for her to turn up at home again. Not the best Easter we have had.

I am going to Cambridge Uni for a weeks study at the end of March, can anyone suggest places to go for a decent pint?

Last weekend I moved from a place with nothing but screaming children to a house in the middle of a town which is quieter. I am so happy, I am able to walk to the shops / puns / clubs. I am starting to feel human again.

Sorry for not talking for a long while.

This morning I got woken up by someone calling me at 0630 hrs, they did not speak. I would not have minded but it is a bank holiday so I did not have to get up.

Today I went to the bar with Eva and Tony, we had a great time. Just waiting for the rumors about a 3 some going around, hi hunny hope you don't mind. Giggles.

I have just had an interesting last couple of days of listening to rumors about one person I know quite well and one I have just met. I decided it was a good idea to introduce the person who is suppose to be spreading the rumors and the person who they are meant to be about. We had a great laugh and are going out for a girls night out this saturday.

I also found out the I am a lesbian because I took a female friend out for dinner as her husband is away, just like mine. Bugger I should have know this before I said yes to getting married.

Life is a giggle. :-) Come party over here soon, please......

My father got bored at home and decided that he needed a break from mother.

He has now been in Bath RUH for the last 4 weeks with a male nurse looking after him. My dad is being looked after well, but is bored and wants to go home. Next week he will be transfered to Bristol to have a tripple heart bypass, I am feeling slightly anxious but know that he will be fine.

My bank holiday was on Thursday and then we get Fridays off as well, so I am on my second day of a bank holiday with the weekend infront of me. I am bored, it is raining really hard, you can't go out and enjoy yourself, there are no parties because of the weather. What shall I do for another 2 days apart from house work.

I know should have gone to London.

One of the kittens decided that she wanted what I was eating. So Missey had pancakes with a tomato and aubergine sauce. She seems quite content.

I now have a working German mobile for text, it is 0049 173 485 5947.

I am sat at home with the kittens, hubby is out getting my pain killers and everything. The op went really smoothly, it was not nerve racking or anything. There were three of us having the op and all of us were let home at 6 pm that evening.

I can remember complaining that there were to many people in the operating theater and the anesthetics asking what I wanted, the rest of the time I was asleep.

Today I feel better than I have been with my wisdom teeth. Plus the kittens are keeping me rather amused, they do not like each other today.

Tomorrow morning I go into hospital to have my wisdom teeth out, they have been causing me trouble for quite a long time so I have to do this. I am not feeling to bad at the moment but I am sure I will feel crap this time tomorrow. The upside to this is that I get to spend a week at home with the kittens and hubby who will be looking after me.

I finally got annoyed at work. The Easter holidays mean everyone brings their children into work. They are not insured and are quite annoying.

On Thursday I brought my husband into work instead. I informed my work colleages, who thought it very amusing and thought that he would be sat in my office being quiet while I worked. Instead I dropped him off in the medical library for a couple of hours. At 11am he got invited to cakes and coffee then went back into the library. It was all good fun, my boss was amused about bring-a-husband-into-work-day.

Then I almost messed up. I packed up, locked up said goodbye to everyone and started to walk out of the building, it was only by luck that I remembered my husband before leaving for home.
