So What's Been Happening Recently? #15

               So The two weeks slowly pass and I healed alot better and quicker than the previous operation.  Whilst waiting I relaxed watched films and tv shows and anything else to pass the time. As I was going to get my new motorcycle soon I wanted to get some new equipment for the new bike.      The first thing I got myself was a new helmet. I love my old one but it had one thing missing from the first helmet I bought. Bloody hell, it was eight years ago. It as a flip up face.                My first motorcycle was a Honda CG125 2008. This was the bike that I passed my test on. It was the same type of bike being used at the riding school I did a week course at. I had done my C.B.T (Compulsory Basic Training) on the week before. I had used the shares that were given to me by the company I work for to help pay for it. Thanks company I work for. I really did love that bike and...

I Got Things #4

      Recently my washing machine packed up. The bearings went on the back of the drum. Producing a really nasty high pitched noise. So we stopped using the machine while we called the guarantee people to send someone out to fix it.       So for about two weeks we were without a washing machine.       I went online and searched for a temporary fix and found some manual, non-electric machines. Searching online reviews and vlogs and ended up with this.         The Brummer Wonder wash . Holly Crap. I bought this a couple of months ago and price has shot up by a £101, on Amazon.     This is a great little machine. It cost me £74.99, including 24 hour delivery. Without, it was £69.     Using it is pretty simple. I found it easy to assemble. A few fiddly bits, but it was ok. The process is to fill with water and detergent. Put your clothes in and seal it up and manually turn the crank for about a couple...

         So it was time for another operation for my hemorrhoids.    About the 21st March I got a call to go for another Pre-Op appointment. I had had one about six months prior. So because it was so long ago, I needed another. But now my operation was also being done in the same week.     I had informed my work place. I was on my annual birthday holiday which normally takes up most of March. As I also take time off for my wife's birthday. I normally take about a week off for both but I normally have alot of leftover holidays so I wrap them around the weeks off and end up normally with most of March off.     Anyway, working with my workplace they agreed to start my sick after my holiday was finished, about the 1st April.     There was also another problem. I recently ordered a new motorcycle and the pick up time overlapped with my recovery time. At this point I was window shopping online for parts I wanted on my bike a...

       So it's been a while since my last blog. A few things have happened. So let's get started.        My 41st birthday in March happened. I got up as per usual and got ready for the day. My wife had got me a few things. Which was cool. She had got me Star Trek: Enterprise, Blu Ray box set. Star Trek: Voyager DVD box set. You can't buy this in Blu ray as it hasn't been made.          I also received a Blu Ray and CD set 'Live From Telia Parken' and another album 'Rock the Rebel/ Metal the Devil' from one of my favourite bands. Volbeat. Only one problem though, I already had the 'Rock the Rebel/ Metal the Devil' album. Not really a big deal. But still appreciated.         After spending the morning with the missus. It was time to go out. I had plans to meet up with my brother at the Vue cinema. We all went to see Captain Marvel.       The film was really good. Tel...

So It's Been A Year. And.....

     So.... I'm sitting on my recliner. Relieving as much pressure off my arse. Due to hemorrhoid surgery I had on the 28th March. Wearing some lovely man nappies. Realising it's been a year since I started writing these blogs.      Nothing really major has happened in my life. I've been to a few places, watched a few movies, perused some TV shows, read a few books. Bought a few things. But nothing major.      What have I learned? Pretty much what I always knew in some way.   i, Don't be a dick. Even though some people like dick. It's never good to be one.  ii, You don't know everything. And you never will. You will find someone in your life who thinks they know how the universe works in every detail. Trust me they don't. And that's okay. When you admit that to yourself. It's then you can start to open your mind to unlimited knowledge. You won't spend your time lying to yourself and others. iii, Don't rely on anybody. In thi...

  Day 2. 8th March.          Today was just going to be a day for our monthly shop. But the wife convinced me to go for my test ride that I wanted to go on.         I have been thinking about getting a new motorcycle. As much as I love Jennifer. She's my Kawasaki Versys 650 Grand Tourer. Named after She-Hulk Aka Jennifer Walters. Because she's a beast of a machine.          The problem is she is just a bit too big for me. With my problems with my hips I needed a bike that is a little lower to climb on. So hence the test ride for my new steed.      I had already phoned a place called Bacon's Motorcycles, in Ilford. They were the people I bought Jennifer from originally. They did a great job with helping me the first time round. So I would be a fool to not get their help again.             So I rode down with the father-in-law, in his van and myself on Jen...

          The past couple of days have been fun. 7th March was my wife's birthday. As It was her day she wanted to go to Southend to play on the grabbing machines. So we did.       Before that though I had to give her her presents. The night before she bought a giant balloon. Here's a picture:     So I thought it would be a nice idea to use it as a sort of christmas tree. When she had gone to bed and knew when she was asleep I brought out a giant box and small package and placed them by the balloon.      Now here's a problem with the wife. She likes to spend money, all the time. I have to rein her in sometimes to make her understand that she can't have everything. Recently, because of her new job. She has more money to herself. I have one rule when it comes to money: As long as you pay your bills and debts first. Whatever is left is yours to do as you please. And because of this extra money she has been able to s...
