I'm pissed off because i've been off work sick, yesterday and today. It's really starting to get to me as I just can't get comfortable. I have a fever and so one second i feel really hot and then i feel really cold. hot. cold. hot. cold. I can't really concentrate on anything for too long and its driving me nuts. I also got a text from a work colleague this morning saying I've been rumbled because someone spotted me out on the town last night?!?! I wasn't in town last night!? but now work thinks I was because apparently someone saw me?!! Saw me do what?!!?! The only time anyone could have seen me last night was when I was walking to Sally's house. Which was the only time I left the house and she only lives 5 minutes walk away from mine... and she is a doctor!

Anyway I've been very slack at posting, I just never get round to it, and when i do get round to it I feel like the stuff I have to say is not worth writing about because the moment has been and gone. So what been happening? Well ...

My friends Barry and Rox got married. It was a very small and beautiful ceremony, Seeing Barry cry made me want to cry and Rox looked so beautiful and her walking down the aisle to queen's version of the wedding march from the film Flash Gordon was a stroke of genius. It was such a great day.

Miffy, - one of my best friends - is pregnant. I've been wanting to post about this for well over a month now but she didn't really want anyone but her close friends to know about it until she had her second scan, that went well so now she has made it public so i can now talk about it. It's such good news, I'm so happy for her as she's had a hard time lately and this baby is a miracle baby of sorts.
Miffy has already tasked Bee to knit a baby blanket, and knowing Bee it will be the best baby blanket ever!

As i wrote in my last post I saw REM last Saturday. Managed to sell the spare ticket to a nice young girl for 30. It felt like I was doing a good deed as the ticket was for her boyfriend. coldandwet was there but could only wave at him and speak on the phone as we were standing and he was seating. I was a great gig, at one point Michael Stipe told the crowd how every should love a ginger / red head. Which made Dec and Sarah happy as Dec is going out with a red head and Sarah is of course one. I think they must have played at least one song from every album they have ever made. It was a really good well rounded gig.

So apart from seeing REM, going to a wedding, and feeling ill, i've been passing most of the time by playing wii, and my list of wii games has been growning ever since I bought the thing just over a week ago. I now own... Mario Kart Wii, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Wii Play, House of the Dead 2 & 3, Jenga, Monkey Ball, Red Steel, and some other games but i can't think of them right now and I have more games coming in the post soon, which im very much looking forward to. I think the Wii has to be one of the best purchases i've made in a long time. I'm so glad I bought it instead of an X-Box or a PS3. It's just been constant fun since i set it up. Seeing my friends make fools of themselves trying to make mario run was worth the price of the console alone, and Sally says the next time she comes over she will bring her controllers so that will make 4 controllers altogether. I can't wait.
