Back Again

Well here I am again. I meant to post just before I went away but didn't get round to it. I had a lovely time with Dean over Christmas. Sadly his grandad died a few days before Christmas so things were rather subdued. I got back on boxing night and a couple of hours after I got back, my mum's uncle died so things are subdued with my family at the moment. Deaths in the family are always very difficult but it makes it worse around christmastime when the emphasis is on happiness and families.

Mum's uncle's funeral is tomorrow morning and I'm reading a passage from the bible at the service. I've never done anything like that before. It made mum's aunt really happy when I offered to do it. She's very religious and it will give her some comfort.

We're looking after my cousin's wee black kitten at the moment. He's called Jack. I call him Jack Black and mum calls him Blackjack hehe. He seems quite fond of Henry, he keeps hanging round his cage!! I'll have to post some photos of him.

I'm going over to Glasgow in a week or so to see my mate Kerryn. Not seen her for ages and I need to get away somewhere instead of sitting about the house pining for Dean!!! I wish I could go into hibernation until the next time I see him - eat lots of food, go to sleep and then wake up and he's here!!

I did some online shopping today. I bought:

Kath and Kim Series 1

Who Killed the Zutons?

Dean's birthday present (well in advance)

A wireless optical mouse for my laptop

A wireless 54Mbps ADSL router

A wireless 54Mbps USB adapter

A bit of retail therapy there without the stress of going into town!!

I got all that stuff from Amazon who seem to have the best prices at the moment from what I can see. I'm planning to have wireless broadband in my bedroom so I can use the phoneline for the phone I had in my room at uni and which has been stuck in a drawer in my bedroom for about 2 years. It will be nice to have a proper phone in my room again and my phone is a rather nice cordless DECT phone with a blue backlit display!!! hehe The sound quality is very good on it. I never use the house phones because I can never hear people properly on them and they have big annoying aerials.

Right I have to go for dinner now.
