We did have a giggle

I have spent the day with my Emily and it has just been the two of us. I am now enjoying the delights of iCarly and bizarrely the Jonas brothers! We have giggled tonight repeatedly whilst 4 hours of insane reality tv has played out before us but the quote of the evening was as follows ' he would be better if he went home, got undressed, went to bed, put the light out and did not get up or sing again' my daughters review of Wagner on X factor!

We spent the morning doing 'stuff' which always takes a little longer than you think, then the doorbell went and Netbook arrived, this is was one of the things discussed on Thursday night, also new ipod as my other is full and operates off a laptop that now requires a day to boot up and 4 hours per song. So I sat watching some very good and some not dancing whilst loading up about 5 gb worth of songs and having a bit of a buying frenzy on itunes. Netbook is running Windows 7 and i am not sure yet what all the fuss is about but that took about 2 hours to get all the programmes on it and it now boots in about 20 seconds with 10+hrs battery.

Today left home twice as I let a delivery van go past I recognised the markings so headed back home and yep the vast quantity of reading material and maps has arrived. Off to bike shop to drop off a part I could get but they couldnt, which they will fit and Thor gets picked up again tomorrow. Photos will appear shortly. The spare room now looks like a Wiggle/Field & Trek/Amazon grotto! A trip to see Jimmy at a shop in Taunton has now re-equipped me with a tent and various other items of kit, some I may need and some no doubt will be returned. Thanks also to Pixie, yep that was her name who managed to pack the Primus back into its bag without forcing it in, snagging the zip or generally being manly with it.

When we got home we decided to test the tent. First tried to pitch it in the lounge then realised a little bit more space was required so I did not put a pole through the TV! Kitchen it was and with the creative use of the recycling bin and hall door handle we put it up together in slightly over the 'one person and 6 minutes' claimed in the literature. Practice will make perfect I am certain.

When Matt sang that song by Bruno Mars to close X factor, I thought back to the text I got tonight. It simply said those magic 3 words and good night.
