Bye Bye Christmas tree :(

        Well what a delightful weekend it has been. Sadly I did not capture a picture of the curry I had on Friday night, but god dam it was delicious. Well when I say delicious the first few mouthfuls were like "mmmmm this is rather tasty" then the four million chillies started to kick in. Clearly not four million but a fire had been created in my mouth. It was like a devil verses angel situation began, on the one hand, as the sweat started to seep through my pores I knew I should probably call it a day and let the curry have the point, and on the other, it was to dam tasty to stop. It did get the better of me in the end, when my tongue started to go numb I thought its for the best to call it a day. Delicious all the same and will definitely say yes to the next one. Completely home made I might add, paste and all, and shamed as I am to admit, still worth the other halves stinking ass that I had to stomach for the next couple of days. (trust me........ awful) 


     The weekend followed has been positively delightful. A friend of my better halves came down, and we pretty much just ate, drank and laughed. (watching comedies that is, not at each other, although there were a couple of moments). Tim Minchin and Stewart Lee were very much enjoyed, especially with beers and baileys flowing freely. Tipsy much!  Best part was getting out of the 8 K run the boys did. I thought I would let them battle that one out. I have been incapacitated for the past couple of weeks due to my foot so I didn't want to slow them down. (that's what I keep telling myself anyways). We did go out for a well deserved steak afterwards, and yes I did deserve it as well because,............. well because ........ you know I thought about going for a run, and I made them tea afterwards !!! If that doesn't count as a reason to deserve steak then I see no point for living !!  Okay so FYI this steak is like chuffing amazing. It was like eating half my own body weight, oh god and the peppercorn sauce, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm my mouth waters even as I type. Rather odd couple sat adjacent to us, and as the karoke kicked off we knew it was time to shifty on out of there. Seeing a crowd of people ganged outside the theatre we thought we were in luck to see the Hoff, but with getting a piggy, then a closer inspection it clearly wasn't, one of the other actors, who no one clearly gives a shit about. But hey I didn't have to walk for a while :)
      A question was asked to me whilst we were sat eating, and that was do I appreciate my life more now after going through what I did last year??? That one was quite a toughy. I suppose in a way I do. I have changed my life style so much in the past few months, some of that is due to that fact that I am happier now, leaving my partner etc, my appetite is back, and I do a lot more exercise, so in a way I reckon I do. I don't want to sound like one of those corny people that goes on about their "near death experience", because that is all a load of bollocks and no what it is. I suppose I just want to be healthy and happy. I really wouldn't want to go through that treatment again, EVER !! And I dont think we should have to go through these things to value our bodies and minds. The past couple of years of my life have been like the worst roller coaster Alton towers could ever create, but I don't value my life more now because of them, I just appreciate what I have now, life for today, laugh lots, be happy and fuck the mother fucka who tries to put you down. 


             ..................................................


   Right I'm back, although you would have never known I was actually gone as you read this so a slightly pointless comment,  I feel the need to share. So I just had a 2 hour break. Firstly making bread then glued myself to the TV to watch Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles:

  Not this version sadly. The latest adaptations have been great up to date but this was a slight disappointment. I think because this one has probably been our English favourite it is hard to beat the original, to create the same feeling of suspense, the story was just a tad far fetched, which yes arguable Sherlock stories are but this one just got my goat a small bit. The original story line was fine, stick with it ! Thanks you ! 


    Right, I think I should comment on my choice of title. It has now be 14 days past since our exchange of gifts and the need to stuff our faces rotten with crap, and our Christmas tree still has pride of place. This is due to the fact we wanted to share our lovely tree with Beau's friend.... of which all he did was continuously batter it and knock off the decorations (which I suppose in hindsight will lower the time left needed to remove the other ones). So tonight is the last night it shall share my home. Truly a sad sad moment but I will live happy in the knowledge that I helped this Christmas tree fulfil it's destiny. For that I will be truly thankful. And so should it, with me it got 2 extra days of love. 
                 So long Christmas tree, sleep tight.......

Right now that truly is enough ramblings.
