Update for the last few months

WOW!!! Time really does fly. It seems like only yesterday that I had this great idea to sit and blog and ramble on and on and on about all the stuff that enters my tiny head.

So let me up date everyone as to whats been happening. Well as you can see from the first post I was best man at a wedding back in June and the speech went well, being well received by all. The jokes were good but not too OTT given the circumstances.

August saw a huge change in my life, for anyone who doesn't know I have spent the last 7 or 8 years single, living on my own in my own house with all its struggles both financially and mentally, and I have to admit that on the whole I did enjoy it, but the place has never quite felt like home. Not a real home anyway. Sure it was where I lived but there was always something missing. So after a bit of what could be described as a whirlwind romance, (which Ill explain another time) My Girlfriend and I decided that she would move in. So at the end of August she did just that. Although to be fair most of her stuff was already here anyway. But when she gave up her flat it felt a lot more serious. More real, and like there was no going back. Not that I want to go back now, but after 7 years of living on your own it takes a little time to get used to it you know.

But I have to say that things are really good. Its been a bit strange but the more I get used to it the more I like it.

SO there's a couple of reason that I missed some of Raglans themed Events, Like most of the wild west one, although I did manage to get on a bit and I also missed some of the recent Medieval Fest. Although I did see more of this that I saw of the western. So as life calms down again and I get more time to do my stuff again, I have a bit more time to spend in Raglan Shire. So much so that I got myself a little store. Actually its quite a big store, and Ive got a few things in there. Mostly "ART!" but as I get to spend more time in world I'll slowly get around to building more stuff and get it in the shop.

So what does the future hold, well the immediate future will see me concentrating more on writing stuff. So if you see me around with laptop in paw then that's what I'm doing. I take my laptop everywhere - there are always places to write in Raglan.

So there you go, attending weddings, living in sin, building, writing, shop owning, its all go for a tiny cat. Oh did I mention that some time way back around Easter 2 brown cats appeared in my life too.

Well, I'll not to leave it so long next time.

Until then. Take Care Everybunneh!!

Share Your Jokes!!

Hmm!?!? I wonder if you can guess what this post is for??

I'll start...

A man takes his wife out for a Chinese meal. They sit at the table and after 5 or 10 minutes the waiter comes over to take their order. The woman says "I think we will have the Chicken Surprise tonight". "Very good" replies the waiter and he scoots off the kitchen. After 10 minutes of banging and clattering in the kitchen the waiter returns with large pot with a lid on and places it in the middle of the table.

The woman leans over and reaches for the lid of the pot, and just as she's about to lift it, it rises up and 2 little eyes flick from side to side, and then the lid drops shut. The woman turns to her husband as says "did you see that?" The man replies "no, see what?" And with that he too reaches over and just as he's about to lift the lid, the same thing happens again. the eyes flit from side to side, and then lid drops shut again.
The man says, "Hmm there's something not right about this", and he calls the waiter over.

The man says to the waiter, "there's something not right with our food.. every time we go to lift the lid 2 eyes appear. The waiter says, "well what did you order??" ..... "Chicken Surprise" says the man, "Ahhh me sorry says the waiting ............... me brought you Peking Duck"!!!!!

Distractions

Well, first of all, Thanks for reading my first blog. I hope its the start of many, but as you will probably see from this one, I am easily distracted and may not get around to writing another for some considerable time.

Anyhow, Some time ago, a friend of mine told me that he was getting married, and very thoughtfully asked me to be his Best Man, with the words " ..but don't worry it wont be for a few years yet..". Great I thought, plenty of time write the most Witty, and heart wrenching speech of the year. Time to practice it and having it word perfect by the time I would have to stand up and deliver the most touching, and thought provoking words the half drunk folk will ever hear.

And what's wrong with that I hear you say... Well nothing, that is, until last week, when, and I'm sure he will correct me if I'm wrong, but "a change of mind" brought the happy day that little closer. Several years closer in fact, to just 5 weeks away. So now my little paws are tapping away on the keyboard trying to put a few words together in the hope that they may cause a few people's eyes to leak, and mouths to curl up at the edges, like a 5 day old sandwich left in the windowsill.

Now I have to admit, that I do actually enjoy writing stuff. I've started 4 novels, 2 movie scripts, a poem, a comedy drama, and factual article on some rather dull English legal issue. So correct me if I'm wrong but as you can see, I have absolutely no problem in sitting down and starting.... I just seem to an ending phobia. Incidentally, I wonder if there is such a phobia for the fear of endings???

So here I am, sitting down to write the most mesmerising, compelling and funny speech, and yet no speech is appearing. Instead I'm sitting here writing this and telling you all about it!! It appears that I have been side tracked, yet again....

Having realised that I didn't watch the Apprentice final last night, and finding it pretty quickly on the old bbc's new fangled video library cleverly disguised as the iPlayer, I've sat pondering whether or not I can sit and watch it in the knowledge of who won. So not only can I not complete a very important speech in one sitting , but now I'm even distracted writing this blog!!! Oh well... back to the speech!!
