London Town...
Well, today was museum day. Marc, Anne, Jessica, Katie, Tylar and I all went to the Natural History and Science museums in London.
Had a good day with lots to see and do....I have to admit to the Science Museum being my favourite, althought the architecture of the Natural History was amazing.
Here are a few photographs from our day...

Oh crap I forgot the memory card...
Well guess who is a useless lump?...that's right....ME!
Got to horse riding lessons this morning, camera with big lens in my hand, went to take the first of what I thought was many pictures and there it was...."no memory card inserted"...BOLLOCKS!!!
And I call myself a photographer....Hmph!!
Oh well, the lesson was good, Tylar really enjoyed it, although she was a bit worried because the horse she had this week was a lot more vigorous than the last and it was a little harder to control, but she did good.
So....as I never took any photographs, here are a few from the last lesson.

Journey to the centre of the Earth
So....I have my daughter, Tylar this weekend and we popped to Tesco and bought the movie as titled above...and get this....in 3D...ooer I here you all say.
Well, truth is, the 3D is not that 3D, just kinda green and pink, come on, you know what I mean. Try to cast your memories back to when you used to get 3D pictures and a free pair of glasses on the back of your cereal box...and there it is, see I knew you would remember. You have to get the glasses on your face so perfect that your vision becomes one...if that makes sense. Any slight misalignment and the whole thing goes to pot.
So we watched it in boring old regular 1080 HD instead. Tylar enjoyed it which is the main thing and for only £10, that's a pretty cheap night of good ol' family entertainment.
We are off to Bardwell Manor tomorrow morning, Tylar has her second horse riding lesson which she is very much looking forward too. I am sure I will take a few photographs, if I do, I will post some up.
TTFN....

HD TV...
OK....this is the score. The HD TV is broken...F***!!
But...it's not all bad, phoned the store today where I bought if from, explained the whole situation to them, was then transfered to the front desk of the store, explained the whole situation to them, was then transfered to the Tesco Electrical Helpline and, guess what, explained the whole situation to them!!.....are we bored yet? I was!!
Then had to answer a bunch of questions and do a bunch of stuff like..."turn the TV on and off sir" "unplug the TV and plug it back in sir" "go into the menu and push a load of buttons sir"...and, wait for it, this is the kicker...."shine a torch on the screen sir"...SHINE A TORCH ON THE SCREEN....WHAT THE F***!! I thought the guy was taking the piss out of me or something.
After all that he finally gave me a log number, so, now I'm off to the store, TV under my arm with my log number.
I wonder what other crap they make me do before I get my exchange......
Hmmmmmm!!!

Emotions...
OK, here we go, I have decided that if I am going to have this damn blog I should use it right?
I think you all know by now about the wonderful Deanna, a woman who has stolen my heart in every way possible. A woman who has shown me what love truly means and a woman that I will be spending the rest of my life with.
I have been struggling this last week or so with my emotions, we have spoken about them all and in the most part, it turns out that I am just feeling a little insecure, not in a bad way, in a " i am so close to everything that I have ever wanted, what if it is suddenly taken from me " kinda way...being 4,624 miles away from the woman you love is not easy.....not easy at all.
So, in a bid to tackle my emotions I thought it would be a good idea to do something I have never done before. Take the time to read all of her blog (not just the new stuff), you know, to try to learn more about her, her journey through life and what has led her to this point of loving me.
Was it a good idea....yes and no. I have learned lots of new things about the emotions she was feeling in the time before we ever met, I also learned a few things that I was not really expecting to read. Now don't get me wrong, we have had in-depth conversations about each others pasts and experiences, some easy and funny to listen too, others not so.
So what did I learn today......I learned the name of one, and, how she felt about another...Ugg!! Now I know that we have all had past experiences and that we have all done crazy things when we are not at our strongest, emotionally. I was just not expecting to learn as much as I did, or put it another way, I was not expecting this to be still in my head enough for two, very small pieces of information, to bother me.
It does not change anything about how I feel about her....I LOVE HER, wholeheartedly, it's that sometimes, just sometimes, the thought of other people, well it just gets to me at times.
I guess this is what happens when your heart is filled with a love that it has never experienced before, when your heart just needs to be close to that person every day for the rest of your life.
I know that I am being silly, I know that I am letting my emotions get the better of me and I know that when I talk to her about this, all will be OK.
Do you know why?...because she listens and she understands
and that, is why I love her so much...
