These past few weeks have been hectic! Shellie has been here at Easter, I met up with a school friend I haven’t seen for 20 odd years, we’ve been to Keswick, Carlisle, I’ve been out with another school friend, out for drinks with colleagues…and that’s in between going out to work and looking after my family.
Hopefully my next entry will be one of just photos.
I’ve been trying to get a bit of exercise in. I’m fat again. I’m trying to eat “cleaner” as I’ve got into the habit of just making nuggets and chips or Super Noodles and hotdog sausages when I’ve got home from work. Hardly any processed carbs, I’m getting them all from fruit and veg. I’ve done two biggish walks this week, one up a mountain with dad on Saturday, a flat road walk of around 6 miles today. Tomorrow dad and I are shadow leading a guided walk up Rannerdale Knotts, we only need to do two more before we can start our training.
I’m getting excited about going to see Foo Fighters next month. This weekend I’ll be booking my train and hotel. I’m a bit excited and nervous about going with some internet strangers, but they all seem really lovely. I’m sure they’ll look after me.
I’ve also booked in to get my third tattoo. My tattooist is getting married and can’t fit me in till July, but hey, the sign of a good tattooist, right?
Best go make my packed lunch for tomorrow. The weather is set to be glorious, I can’t wait!



We’ve started watching Vikings. I don’t normally like dramas, but I like this one. John assures me it’s based on fact and HOLY FUCKING HELL, RAGNAR!

The actor is a bit of a dick. I’m trying to detach the two. Mmm, nice.

July is ages away! :-) I live opposite my tattoist. Lol. Going to get a little family of penguins walking round my leg - one for me, one for marky and a little baby penguin for baby marble!

You're getting another tattoo?? What is is? Where are you having it done? On your body I mean, I know you're having it done in Carlisle :op

I'm keeping it a secret this time. But it's not a crow! It's going on my calf.

Bomb Shell Babe In Toyland ⋅ April 22, 2015

You can't keep secrets from your sister! Not a corvid of any sort? 'Citing!

Babe In Toyland Bomb Shell ⋅ April 22, 2015

Nope, not a single corvid trait. Other than it's got legs. And wings.

Ooh I know! I know!

I'll look forward to seeing your new tattoo! So jealous of you seeing the foo fighters!

Johnny Carcinogen April 25, 2015

So Vikings is good, is it? Been meaning to watch it. Is it gory and full of horrible death?

Babe In Toyland Johnny Carcinogen ⋅ April 25, 2015

Yes! Lots of stabbings and beheadings and I'm only 7 episodes in. It's got to the stage that I'm excited about the kids going to bed so I can watch it!

Johnny Carcinogen Babe In Toyland ⋅ April 27, 2015

Oh, for fuck's sake. You know you ought to be watching this as a family.

I think I might be in love with Floki. I've watched every episode it's bordering on obsession.

Speaking of which, in case you missed it, look what debuts in May: https://www.facebook.com/Lindemann?fref=ts

I like Floki too. He's out of his tree, which appeals to me. I think he based his character on Paul Kaye's drunken acting: http://youtu.be/GUUmVS22PMs
