One of the projects I've always wanted to take on was Photo a day so we'll see how it goes - here's the first - a new pic of Storm:

Monday:

I woke up getting my son ready for pre-school and noticed from the kitchen window that the back gate was wide open, strange in itself since we always close it so the dog doesn't escape (he's small enough to fit through the cat flaps).  I went through to the back room which is separately locked from the kitchen and the rest of the house to find a window completely off its hinges.  Sure enough the garage was open too.  Some little scrote had broke into the garage and then used the tools to break into the house.  A few key items were taken - my toolbox with all my hdd's, memory and computer tools, my wife's bike, a lot of booze and my drill.

As you can imagine this was incredibly frustrating and I don't think I've ever felt quite so angry.  The result however was a happy one.

The rest of the day was spent pretty much pent up, after the Police had gone I went to work and lost myself in the neccesary, it was great, until I came home again and saw an officer fingerprinting everything and then once again rage.

Tuesday:

We decided that we needed a bigger dog, since our existing Lhasa-Apso (I think that's right!) decided to sleep through we thought it was time to get something with extra... bite.  Enter Storm.

Wednesday:

Bristol to (nearly) Oxford is a long trip up and down hills, but boy was it worth it.  We met Storm and fell in love.  She's a beautiful 6 week old German Sheppard puppy.  We didn't get her till Saturday though and so the rest of the week went quietly.

Saturday:

Finally, Storm!  Gorgeous isn't she?

Sunday:

Sunday is never a day of rest.  Having woke up late from a wonderful meal with family the night before at The Globe we finished fitting the alarm system and took some bits to the local tip.  After that we moved from there to Southmead to drop off a trumpet (don't ask...) and on the way saw someone jump off a flyover.  No I'm not kidding you.  I was very worried at first and the wife turned straight around while I called an ambulance.  A woman dressed in a tan mac, with white stiletto's and a white dress had jumped off a 3 storey overpass... into a tree to climb down and try and take a short cut in a drunken haze, perhaps.  Or perhaps she was seriously ill and needed help - either way the Ambulance were there and helped her out to whatever the poor woman needed.

Red State - Boring, what started as what might be fun, turned into Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid with religious preachers and Dan from Rosanne.

Silence of the Lambs - Never got round to this classic, but there it is, loved it.

Hannibal - The sequel, loved it as well.

Since this photo TESCO have moved a small store into the bottom of Gloucester Road and residents have destroyed it multiple times, however it yet remains.

So many people are bored, why?

Do something.

Read, Write, Listen, Watch, Research, Create, Taste, Think.

• Read a book, read a blog, read a paper, read a magazine article, then write them or about them.
• Listen to inspiring music, or alternatively something by Justin Bieber.
• Watch your favourite series, a documentary on the flight of birds or a movie that never gets old.
• Research your favourite person (don't stalk them you weirdo), place or even any of the above.
• Create anything you want, because you can.
• Taste fantastic food and drink or an even more fantastic person.
• Think on all that we are, all that you are and all that you might be.

But don't just say you're bored, that's just pathetic - you deserve to be bored if you are.
