Today is my Birthday. I am 35. Time for a mid life crisis yet? Not if Yati can help it. She got me the most wonderfully silly present which has totally left me gob smacked. I mean, sure, everytime I see a kid whizzing around on a set of Heelies, I mutter something like "Must have heelies. MUST have heelies!" but I guess if I am honest with myself, I would never have got a pair. Yati, on the other hand, knows the kid in me and played the trump card. Genius! Thank you, baby!

I can, of course, see many hours of Yati laughing at me as I fall on my arse, as a direct result of these trainers. But thats no good reason not to try them right? I can almost feel the pain already... A reminder to be careful what you wish for!!

Check um out :-

My department at work has recently moved from the main financial district of London, known as 'The City' down to Southwark. Although we are no longer in the 15th tallest building in London, surrounded by the likes of 'The Gherkin' and 'The Loyd's Building' I feel our new location has got lots of other attractions.

I know these are nothing much really, just some lights under an old railway bridge on Southwark Street, but on my walk back to the tube from work this evening was the first time I have seen them in the (almost) dark properly.

Music is "Painkiller" by the Freestylers and Pendulum

More acrobatics from Mr Squirrel....

Grab one....

We recently put a bird feeder up in the garden. This special device is supposed to make it difficult for animals other than birds to steal the contents.

Having a peek

Going in

My dad always tells me "It's the law of the jungle."

Now this is the law of the jungle,
as old and as true as the sky,
And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper,
but the wolf that shall break it must die.

Can't fault that. My dad also talks to me in a strange northern english version of german that I can only laugh at and join in. He can sing along to anything replacing english words with the nearest german word he can think of at the time and almosts makes a confused kind of sense.... Classic moment for this, we are in the cellar working on something or other and he has a cassette player with chris rea on.... the real lyrics...

Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Yeah we're looking for a rainbow

My dad is singing....

Ich und mein Cousin
Ich und mein Bruder
Meine kleine Schwester zu, alle zusammen
Sie suchen einen Regenbogen
Ja... Sie suchen einen Regenbogen

Genius!

Anyway to sum up and in proper mashedup triple flip dnb talk so you can all understand...

Why did the lion get lost?

Once again, here is the script... enjoy!

What a shit day.I got up today and made my way to Wembley. Tried to find the dodgy tout who I paid £200 for a ticket. Answerphone message said "the tickets have been cancelled" Yeah but I am here at Wembley? Fuck. Run around a bit, try and find another ticket. Shit nuffink. Spread the word some more... anyone else got clues on tickets? No. Fuck. Bail. Head to a pub back home you know will show it... FUCK FUCK FUCK.

More of the same. Write the end of my blog yourself. Fuck it.

Well done Donnie. Fuck the FA, fuck the -15, fuck the promotion, you did it on the day. Not on spot kicks, Not by cheating. Not by luck. You had the best of it. You did the shit on the day.

Why do I bother?

After seeing Muse do the first rock concert in the new Wembley Stadium last year and being unhappy with the general sound quality of our new national sporting venue, I was very pleased when we got the option to go and see them at a venue known for it's superb sound quality... The Royal Albert Hall.

Also knowing the talent that Muse have.. I was looking forward to the "added extra" surprises... None of them were bigger than this moment....

Matthew Bellamy striking up the big organ that is built into the Albert Hall.... I know why it is known as an Organ now... it is because you can feel the thing moving your own organs internally.

Absolutely brilliant concert, and the sound was so much better. I think this is my fav London venue for gigs right now.

Weather is holding up the shed project. Crikey, didn't expect snow in April!!! O well, next weekend for the roof then.

It seems according to This is local London that there are killer ladybirds invading London and threatening the Capital's insects and plants.

Well we have got them in our kitchen. Short of ghostbusting them with the dyson, we cannot find a way top stop them taking over our kitchen. I do know they reach for the lasers when you play them a little bit of drum n bass though.

Bo!
