New Wish List

I've just discovered Amazon allow you to add stuff to your wish list from other websites! So my wish list can now be found here.

Catch Up

James and Ange have gone home (boo) but we had a lot of fun while they were here (yay). I posted about the mini Jamaica reunion but we were all talking about a real Jamaica reunion sometime next year (woohoo!). Apparently, Steve is now obsessed with the concept of all-inclusive, which he'd never experienced before. I think it was more the free drinks than the free food which appealed to him, lol.

Anyway, while Ange and James were here, we went to a Manchester City game. For thoses who haven't seen it yet, here is the cute picture of Ange and I with our faces painted!



And for those of you on Facebook, now you see how much quicker it is to post stuff on Facebook than it is to the blog, lol.

We also had a Salford rugby game while they were here and just had another game today too. Pics are here and a few below.

Mini Jamaica Reunion

While Ange and James are here, we went out to lunch with Paul, Jodie, Jodie's brother Andrew and his girlfriend Claire. And Aoife, who was, not surprisely, behaving badly, lol. We ate at an Italian restaurant called Zizzi. Here's a few pictures.

I am the clone tool goddess!

Plugging away at all those ancestry photos mom scanned in for me and I must say, I'm awesome with the clone tool at times! (Click for full image)

Is it the end of the world?

Two major earthquakes in quick succession and now this? What is going on?

RSPCA investigates mystery of starling flock that fell out of the sky

"The RSPCA is investigating the sudden death of more than 100 starlings that witnesses claim simply fell from the sky and landed in a front garden.

Julie Knight, a nurse, returned home from a shift at Glastonbury hospital in Somerset to find her small lawn in Coxley littered with scores of dead and dying birds.

The RSPCA has so far failed to find a reason for the birds’ deaths. Disease, toxic chemicals, poison gas clouds and flying into a building or power lines are all considered unlikely or have been discounted.

The birds were close together when they died as most of the corpses fell within the 12ft diameter of Mrs Knight’s garden. Several were still alive and had to be put down when a vet arrived.

Mrs Knight was told by a neighbour that the flock “fell” from the sky at 4pm on Sunday, half an hour before she arrived home. She said: “One of my neighbours said they literally seemed to just fall out of the sky. About 70 were dead straight away.

“She said it was like something out of a horror film. It was absolutely terrifying. The sky was raining starlings.” RSPCA animal welfare officer Alison Sparkes was alerted by police and discovered that most of the birds had broken beaks, broken legs and wings and abdominal injuries consistent with impact, but were otherwise in a healthy condition."

Curly Hair

Robin with curly hair - yay or nay?

Carvery

Today, Steve and I went to this pub called Red Lion which had a carvery that was sooo good and it was only £3.95 per person!
