From Matt Hamilton
this is a little scary - I begin to wonder.....am I too young to have a mid-life crisis?
SYMPTOMS OF BEING OVER 25
1. You leave clubs before the end to "beat the rush". (worst still
you don't go to the clubs)
2. You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going
clubbing the night before.
3. You stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer
and start dreaming you may one day have a son who might
instead.
4. Before throwing the local paper away, you look through the
property section.
5. All of a sudden, middle aged people are not 46, they are only 46.
6. Before going out anywhere, you ask whether there is anywhere to
park.
7. Rather than throw a knackered pair of trainers out, you keep them
because they'll be alright for the DIY or in the garden.
8. You buy T-shirts without anything written on them.
9. Instead of laughing at the innovations catalogue that falls out of
the newspaper, you suddenly see both the benefit and money saving
properties of most of the things that are in it.
10. You start to worry about your parents' health.
11. You have more disposable income, but everything you want or need
to buy costs between 200 and 500 quid.
12. You don't get funny looks when you buy a Disney video as the sales
assistant assumes they are for your children.
13. Pop music all starts to sound the same.
14. You opt for Pizza Express over Pizza Hut because they do a really
nice half-bottle of house red.
15. You always have enough milk in.
16. To compensate for the fact that you have little desire to go
clubbing, you instead frequent trendy bars and restaurants in the mistaken
belief that you have not turned into your parents.
17. While flicking through the TV channels, you happen upon C4's Time
Team with Tony Robinson. You get drawn in. Grand Designs also appeals.
18. The benefits of a pension scheme become clear.
19. You go out of your way to pick up a colour chart from B&Q.
20. You wish you had a shed.
21. You have a shed.
22. You actually find yourself saying "They don't make 'em like that
anymore" and "I remember when a bus journey was 30p" and "Not
in my day...."
23. Radio 2 play more songs you know than Radio 1 - and Jeremy Vine
has some really interesting guests on.
24. Instead of tutting at old people who take ages to get off the
bus, you tut at rowdy school children.
25. When sitting outside a pub you admire their hanging baskets.
26. You find yourself saying "is it cold in here or is it just me?"
27. Far more members of the opposite sex start to look particularly attractive.
28. The idea of having a selection of biscuits with your tea starts
to sound appealing.
29. You understand the above and forward it to your fellow aging
friends.

Catching up time
Well its been a while but what a busy few days!! Sorry when I say busy I mean full...
I had a very nice day on Wednesday, the car got through the MOT all fine and dandy and whilst I waited for that I spent some time in St Andrew's Park reading 'Velvet Elvis'... lovely!!
We've also spent the last few days doing a 'Ground Force' and have completely redone the Silvey Garden. Totally awesome!!!

I almost died!
I was at TCP (friend's house) last night just chatting with someone, having a beer - that sort of thing when someone rushes over and says to me "Excuse me mate, are you on fire?"...
Imagine my surprise when I realised that I was! I had been sat near a tealight and my bag had caught fire and began to burn and melt sort of thing. But I survived!!

Getting Locked Out
The sun was shining and it seemed slightly rude not to make the most of it, so I decided that the conditions were perfect to do a bit of noodling on the ole guiitar in the garden. Which I did - absolutely lovely.
A while had passed so I decided it was time to go back in... and had found that my housemate, Beth, had come home early - thought there was no one in and locked the back door... leaving me stranded outside.
After a while, one of the neighbours had noticed me looking a bit lost and confused - I explained the situation, and she invited me in. So I ended up spending the afternoon with her two kids, Jake & Maddie, drawing and colouring in Easther themed things. Ace!!
This is the note that we made to stick on the glass back door...
