iPhone 4

My phone contract is up next week and I’ll be getting the iPhone 4. I’m actually pretty excited even though I’ve been an iPhone user since the beginning. Pete and I are travelling to New York in December (my first visit to the States! Woot!) and I was considering buying a handheld video recorder. I hopped onto the net this evening to look at what was available and then I remembered I’d be getting the iPhone 4 and that I wouldn’t need to buy a separate device for recording video clips. The iPhone 4 is perfect for my requirements!

Gym, book in the bath.

Went to the gym today for the first time in quite a while. Gave it a really good session and can feel it in my shoulders now from the shoulder press. My arms are really weak!!

Then came home and had a lovely long bath which I dropped my book in 🙁 It wasn’t too bad though, and thankfully it wasn’t my iPhone though! That would have been a disaster.

Wedding Venue plans

Pete and I have sorted out a rough guest list and it looks like we’ll be keeping it small with about 30-40 guests, maybe even as few as 25.
We’ve looked online at a few venues, but really we need to start contacting places for proper quotes and venue details. I emailed The Chapel on The Hill (where by brother was married) this morning for photographs and prices as they don’t seem to have a very good website set up. On the weekend we looked at Crinkey Bottom across the road from Pete’s folks house, and I must say it looks lovely. We’ve been there many times for wine tasting evenings, and they have now also built a bridged island on the lake for wedding ceremonies, and it’s truly beautiful.
The thatched reception room also looks truly gorgeous decked out for a wedding, so they are definitely a serious contender :)?

Noise

I read this article today regarding the noisy world we live and what it’s like to live in silence for a week. Honestly this is something I can relate to as in certain situations excessive noise can make me stressed. I would love nothing better than to live in the country and I think noise is deeply linked to this desire. Obviously the beautiful surroundings play an massive role too, but I think the peace of going outside and hearing little more than nature itself is very very appealing.

Shoulder Tattoo Expansion

Today I had my shoulder tattoo expanded 🙂 I’m very very happy with the result.

Slipping in public, Sean Locke, Karaoke @ Janine’s

Friday night we went to see a comedian in Wolverhampton. We had front row seats for Sean Locke’s Lockipedia Tour. We were making our was to our seats when I slipped on our way down the centre isle. It happened really really quickly, one moment I was walking, and the next thing I was on the floor. I think it was polish on the floor I slipped on because I didn’t twist my ankle or anything, my feet just went sideways from under me. Thankfully it was near the back so not very many people saw, but those nearby turned in their seats. A few girls asked if I was ok, while I was still processing what had just happened and started getting to my feet. Very embarrassing! A member of staff was next to me like a shot and insisted I go with her to their little emergency room to be checked by on site paramedics and so they could log it in their accident book. I fell pretty hard, landing on my right side. I bashed my elbow and hip quite hard, but currently no bruising has appeared, just all the muscles down my right side are strained so it feels like I’ve done a 1000 pushups with one arm.
We went on to enjoy the show though and had some good laughs. Not the very best comedian we have seen. There were some parts that were hilarious, and other bits that I just didn’t find funny. But all in all it was a good night out.

Saturday night we went around to my cousin Janine’s for supper and drink. We had a  right laugh and ended up singing Karaoke through Virgin Media. It was great. When we got home Pete and I discovered we also have access to karaoke through Our Virgin Media box too! 🙂
