Week #40

Week 40 - Part 1

Week 40 - Part 2

This week was a slow one.

At work we were mostly getting ready for the start of our flu clinics, my partner and I celebrated 2 years together, had my flu jab.

I did a first order from nailpolishdirect.co.uk and order some polish's from O.P.I. and China Glaze (post on O.P.I. - Can't Find my Czechbook to come)

On the Sunday it was my partner and I's anniversary, we ended up at Teesside Park and Middlesbrough shopping. We also went for a meal, and went to see Filth (starring James McAvoy)

So it was quite a quiet week.

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa

Dir: Declan Lowney
Starring: Steeve Coogan, Colm Meaney, Sean Pertwee, Anna Maxwell Martin.

[All reviews and opinions are my own]

Cinema ticket

This movie is absolutely hilarious, I remember watching Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge when I was a kid and this movie just looked quite funny, and by god it was.

The story is mainly North Norfolk Digital is being bought in a takeover and rebranded for a younger audience, and the older DJ's are up to be fired. To save his job Alan tells the execs to sack his friend Pat. This then leads to an enraged Pat taken the radio station hostage.

Now the theme is not one that you would imagine to be hilarious in any way but Coogan does it, he has you rolling in the aisles and the part that will always make me giggle is the Geordie in the cupboard (people who have seen this will know what I mean). The movie was full of one liners from start to finish.

Overall a great British comedy and worth a watch.

Week #34

Welcome to Week #34

Monday to Wednesday

Another busy week, Monday I was off ill, and it was also the Newcastle vs Man City match (which was diabolical 4-0 come on!!!) Monday and Tuesday was spent round my partners parents as he needed a new car and was buying one off of his dad. Wednesday was spent at the cinema seeing Elysium starring Matt Damon (Review coming soon)

Thurs to Sunday

Thursday was a training day at work so that was spent logging my colleagues on a new staff intranet system and then spent updating said system with the common numbers that we use.
Friday was a quiet day, we had Thomas (my partner's little boy) over the weekend.
Saturday was the start of the bank holiday, Saturday we had a trip to Redcar (the weather was a bit crappy but we still had a good time) we went up the Redcar Beacon and Thomas went on some of the rides they had there.
Sunday was spent sorting our bedroom out we now have two rooms to move freely around so it was time for a move around.

I was slow updating due to quite a busy week last week and no time to crack open the computer.

Monday to Wednesday was quite busy, me and my partner went to see Kick Ass 2 on Wednesday (I will be posting a review soon). It was a fantastic movie. Monday and Tuesday was spent covering due to staff shortage.

The rest of the week was quite quiet, we spent the weekend babysitting for my partners sister, and taking a birthday card round for my best friend's partner.

Week #32

Welcome to My Week 32,

Week 32 Part 1

Monday to Wednesday was somewhat busy especially at work, we had a holter test that had to be downloaded and sent off but due to scheduling conflicts between me and the HCA it had to be moved a couple of times

I also decided that I need to update my book journal (I take a notebook with me at all times to write up notes about the book so that when I come back to do a write up I always have notes about the story and the characters) Am way behind with updating it so that was a main priority on Tuesday. I have been using an ARC notebook as my book journal but I have read 70 books so far this year and it just can't take anymore pages so I was needing too buy some A5 poly pockets at the weekend and a A5 lever arch file to fit it all in.

Wednesday, me and my partner went to see Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (I will be doing a review soon on this) It was absolutely hilarious go and see it if you havent yet, I was crying with laughter.

Thursday was a quiet day the cats had an appointment at the vets for their boosters and a couple of treatments.

Friday was spent worrying about needing to program a holter test as the HCA who does them is on holiday and there was a request from the GP for a patient to have one done. I also had a meeting regarding an information package that we are putting into use at the surgery, and at lunch time I was told I shouldn't have been in (I actually had the day off and totally forgot about it), but instead of wasting half a day I just stayed in for the rest of the day and added it back onto my hols.

The weekend was spent relaxing as last weekend was quite a stressful one, I headed into the town centre and at the Art Shop I came across some Alice in Wonderland Stamps and I stood there for 5 minutes thinking wether I should buy them or not (as you can see I did and they look fantastic). We took my stepson to see Newcastle Diamonds vs Redcar Bears (a huge win for us 58-37)

Jack and the Giant Slayer 3D - My Thoughts

Me and my partner love a trip to the cinema and we went off to see Jack and the Giant Slayer 3D starring Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Ian McSHane, and Stanley Tucci.

Jack the Giant Slayer 3D

 It was a really good movie, and I found myself by the end of the movie on the edge of my seat with my fingers crossed rooting for Jack to make it.

Nicholas Hoult was fantastic as Jack, he was quite funny, but I have to admit Ewan McGregor was brilliant, he stole the show as Elmont.

If you like a movie with a bit of escapism, you'll like this movie.

Another surprise while at the cinema we got a 2for1 voucher, which we will be using as there is some good movies coming out soon.

Thanks for tuning in
