The Willow

Today is the Willow's birthday, she is ten years old. This time it is special because the Willow is not well, she has a cancer growth on her neck and we were told last year she probable wouldn't last the month. She has made it to her birthday and she is a really good girl. She was very excited at all these lovely treats she kept getting all day, she was well excited.

Facebook

I would just like to start off by saying that I am on Facebook myself, I really like it and it has some purpose. BUT!!! I really think that people are getting really addicted to the actual act of putting things on there, I call it living their lives on Facebook.
I get on at Alex about it all the time, I know I shouldn't but it's hard not to. Alex just tell me he will do what he wants and to stop telling him what to do, which I should but it really narcs me.

It seems to me that people say the most random, pointless and mundane things on there every day, for example "night all" or "up at 6am can't sleep anymore" or "fish and chips for tea" I mean really, do we need to say or see this all the time.

I know we can sort and have the option to change our privacy, what we receive.

My point is that do we really feel the need to tell everyone we know every single thing we are up too?

What does that say about us as humans and how needy we are becoming I guess.

As I said there is some good to it, it's great to keep in touch with my family who live far away and some friends I have not see for quite a while or my friend that has just moved all the way over to America, it's also great to see pictures of what people are doing or up to date pics of people or family you haven't see for a while.

I have a mix of friends who are and who are not on Facebook and they all have very apposing views on the subject and I guess you can tell which are which from that there statement.

I would like your views on the subject, is it just me that thinks people should restrain themselves a bit more?

Do you think that the way people are is fine as it is?


Please all of you who read try to comment, I would like to know your thoughts.


P.S. I am going to post this on my Facebook so you can comment on their too.

Love to you all

Technology

Now I absolutely love new technology and usually can't wait to get my hands on it, even though most of the time I have to wait because I can't afford it, but thats a whole different story.

most people now have a fair few up to the date technology going on in their lives, that being smart phones, PC's or Mac's, digital home phones, digital TV with HD or 3D tech on it, Sat Nav's etc etc etc I could go on but you get my point.

we to some extent all of this help us to make life easier and more exciting but it also has it's downfalls too.

I was just thinking about this last night as I was asked to drop something off at a friend of friends house, now I have been there twice.

now in the past I have always had a very good memory for getting to places, once I have been one time as long as I go exactly the same way I could get myself back there. I have now notice that I have started to rely on my Sat Nav to get me places and so I take very little notice of where I am or how I got there, so I had not get a clue as the were to go other than it was in West Swindon which is not much help really.

Why I was thinking about it last night was I was over West swindon last night and though I could drop it in but had no clue as to were to go, I though right I need a post code and then I can get there but this is not something you just carry around, especially for friend';s of your friends, in the end i had to just come home and now I have to go out there today with the post code.

I am going to try to get there myself with the sat Nav on silent and only look at it when really necessary, this way I can see if I am just relying on it but don't need to or if I really am getting that lazy (no comments from those that know me about he lazy thing please) so we shall see.

I will let you know the outcome, please let me know if you have similar issues?

Love to you all

Hello World

Now I can see that I have view on my BLOG from many places, some I think I know who you are but there still a few I don't.

People of Australia tell me who you are?

People of America tell me who you are, or is that you cousin?

People of germany tell me who you are?

This can be a two way process.

got to go now and have a club to help run, bye for now.

with love Tony

Uckk!!!

I have not been sleeping to well lately and i'm not the best at getting up in the morning anyway, this morning I really found it difficult. The alarm went off and I snoozed it about ten time, then I was just laying there in the ben not wanting to move, but it was getting very late and i really needed to get up.


after getting up practically with my eyes shut and walked into the next room to get my clothes on, so as not to disturb the sleeping husband, i got dressed and did all the things i needed before very quickly leaving for work as now I was running quite late.


It had to be the first day back after the half term as well so it took so much longer that it has all of last week, I was thinking i will just work later today to make up for it.


For some reason my t-shirt was really starting to irritate me and really could not work out why, so I fidgeted a little and tried to ignore it until I got to work.


IAs I said i was a little late for work so rushed in and got to the stairs and t-shirt started again , so as it was quiet and just before the door to my shared office I looked at what it could be that was scratching at me, OH MY DAYS it was bird shit on the inside of my top. I was disgusted and walked into the office holding my top about a foot away from my body.


Now as you can imagine people were very interested in why I was doing this and found it very amusing when I told the story of what had happened. Anyway with no spare clothes on me I had to go off to the Toilets and try to clean this off and stay in the t-shirt all day as had back to back meeting all day.

Moral of the story, do not get dressed while asleep.

Listen To People

I don't know what you all think about this, but this is my view.


I think that one of the most important things in life is to listen to people or for someone to listen to you. this could be in your relationship with your partner, with your friends, at work, where ever but it is important.


I have in the past needed people to listen to me, when I was going though some really rough times at work, I just wouldn't shut up about it and needed to talk a lot while in supervisions.


When I have need to talk something over with a friend to help me make up my mind about something.


To talk to Alex about our relationship, the dog, the car, the house or anything else as a couple you need to talk about or discuss, if you don't it drives you crazy and you can't sleep.


I alos like to think that I have been there for all my friends, Family and Alex whenever they have needed me to listen or advise.


The one thing through all this for me, is I think by talking and listening to all the people around us it can really help to lessen the load, sort out your thoughts and helps that relationship deepen because you start to really trust the person you feel able to talk to.


To all the people that have had me ranting, talking, undecided, bitching, complaining etc etc, I would just like to thank you all for all the help and support you have given and for what you will give in the future.

Please leave a comment and tell me what you think of this blog?

A Random Thought form Tony
Love to you all

Time for you!

Like many other people who may read this blog my life (in and out of work) can be and is very hectic, time seems to fly away and like now before you know it half the year has gone by "AARRG" but that is life as we know it in todays society.


I think we all try different things to relax and have some time out, going to the gym or doing some sort of exercise, going out with friends for drink or meal, sitting and watching telly, Gardening etc etc, I have tried all of those things (tho not so much of the exercise, I still have a try harder mark on that one) but you get my point.


All of that tho is or can be very time constrained, going out, "what time should we meet" getting home " I have to get back for the babysitter" Gym class "can't walk in late" TV well that all depends whats on but what about just taking some time to be alone and relax with no one else around. I bet not many of us do that hey? I know I don't.


So lately I have been thinking what can I do just for me, well my answer to this is doing some training and by that I mean education not exercise (remember what I said earlier). So I am thinking I will look into doing some more massage courses or maybe a meditation course as that would benefit me too.


What do you think? let me know, if you do something you would like to share, please do.


You never know if I do do one of these courses I may need some case studies and your luck could be in.
