So I haven't updated in 12 days, and I do not have a photo for every day.

If I am honest, I am bored of this. My day to day life is mundane and the blog is boring me, so I can only assume it is boring to other people. Over the past month or 2 I have found it more and more difficult to take a picture of something different every day, because usually 5 days of my week are exactly the bloomin' same. Therefore I have failed at my Challenge 365 and I shall be closing its metaphorical doors.

Cheerio Challenge 365. Another unfinished blog of mine, left to fester in the depths of the interwebs.

So it turns out my little fainting episode yesterday was brought on by some sort of wee bug and I have pretty much spent all of yesterday and today sleeping it off. The constant nausea has subsided so I think I'll make it back to work tomorrow.

So today I didn't get up to too much. Oh yeah I did faint in Queen Street station and get carted off in a wheel chair. But other than that, it was a quiet one.

I've watched alot of films today. I watched Scott Pilgim vs The World. Resident Evil: Afterlife and Tim Burtons Planet of the Apes. Its not often that I managed to stay awake and watch one film all the way to the end in one sitting. It's quite impressive that I watched all of these in one day. They were all pretty good films though.

So that's July finito. Summed up by a lazy Sunday watching some movies.

Today me, Mum & Dad, Eileen and her clan all went to The Glasgow Show. The highlight of my day was the Rocking Horse Stunt Team. This picture is of a man riding upside down on the side of a horse. That, if you ask me, is pretty awesome. Mum, at the end of their show, said something along the lines of 'I thought it would be more impressive'. There was, at one point, a man standing astride 3 stallions galloping at full speed, and the same guy then later went down one side of the horse, under its tummy and up the other side back onto its saddle, again at full gallop. Pretty dang impressive.

Today there was a bake sale in work, I believe for the African Drought appeal. You can't beat a bake sale in work. Always tasty treats for much cheapness.

28.7.11

So I finished the book I posted about the other day and was looking for something else to read. I asked Mum if she had anything I might like and these are the few I narrowed it down to from the huge bundle she gave me. I think it is going to take quite some time for me to get through them all.

My little car was in the garage today getting a few wee repairs and its MOT.

Thankfully there wasn't anything major needing done, despite the indications that the car had been giving recently (it has alot of wee quirks that make an appearance every wee while. Well it had decided to bring them all back at the same time over the past couple of weeks. I think it knew it was almost MOT time and was just trying to freak me out).

Considering its an 11 year old car it really is in pretty good nick.

I am not generally a big reader, and the only books I generally will read quite obsessively are James Patterson ones. However a friend in work was reading this book and she let me borrow it. It has spawned a TV programme I quite enjoy which I didn't realise actually came from a book series. I am really rather enjoyingthis book, just need to wait for the girl in work to finish the next one and let me borrow that!

Due to my traumatic toenail injury yesterday I couldn't put proper shoes on today, so I had to rock the socks and sandals look to work. I would just like to point out these are not my feet, It is surprisingly difficult to take a picture of your own feet.

Today I awoke from my slumber to find that the weather was beautiful and I didn't have much on my agenda, so I planned to have a Lazy Sunday. However my dad had other plans. He called me from my room and asked for me to give him 'a wee hand in the garden'. That 'wee hand' ended up with me weeding, sweeping and shovelling the entire driveway. You may not think that is much of a big deal but my driveway isn't a wee 2 car drive way. My driveway is gigantic!

This picture is me standing at the top and the black arrow is the bottom.
This is me standing where the black arrow was and the red arrow is where I stood at the top. Its safe to say my muscles hurt, I am sunburnt and I have blistered on my thumbs. To top it all off, once I had finished I whacked myself on the shin with the spade then just about ripped my toenail off. Gardening - bad for your health

Tonight was the last night of freedom for a girl in work, Toni. So me and a few other of the girls took her out for the evening for her hen night. We went to Khubla Khans where there was meat (personally I tried wild boar, ostrich and zebra) and one very, very large cocktail. It was quite an enjoyable evening.

After the disappointment of yesterdays Twizzlers I decided to treat myself to some tablet. There is a wee man who comes into the building I work in every month or 2 and sells flavoured tablet. I got strawberries and cream flavour and banana flavour. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint. Proof that Scottish sweeties are better than American sweeties (though I still have ones I want to try. Like Milk Duds...)

21.7.11

Tonight I went for a wee jaunt to the shops after work. I came across a new American candy shop and decided to have a gander. To be honest, it was pretty disappointing. £8 for a box of Fruit Loops? There was a pretty poor selection of American sweets in general, and it was actually mostly made up of jars of sweeties that you can get almost anywhere (millions, dolly mixtures, boiled sweeties). However I did find Twizzlers so I decided to try them. They are minging. There ones were meant to be cherry flavoured but, to be honest, they tasted like slightly salted plastic. America, why do you disappoint me so?

20.7.11

I had to make a pitstop this evening as I thought the boot of my car was about to pop open (it wasn't) and came across this wee man wandering around the carpark playing the bagpipes. I suspect his wife has had enough of the screeching and kicked him out to practice somewhere where he wont offend her ears.

19.7.11

Bought myself a pretty little pair of shoes for work. Unfortunately the CRIPPLED me and I ended up with 6 plasters on my feet! I think I am going to have to wear them around the house with some thick socks for a while.... either that or take slippers to work with me.

18.7.11

Came home from work tonight to the smell of freshly baked cake. Jam and coconut cake, to be exact. Unfortunately I had to eat my dinner before I was allowed a piece. It was worth the wait though.

17.7.11

Saw a wee job that took my fancy today so decided to apply for it. I spent about 4 hours on and off on the application form so fingers crossed! Other than that my Sunday was pretty uneventful.

16.7.11

Went for a wander up to the shops with Eileen today. Got this lovely rain mac for a bargainous £30, it was originally £60. The Next sale is always good for a bargain.

There are a few times a year when certain fruits are perfect. Hallowe'en time is satsuma time. the start of summer is great for strawberries and yesterday was the best day ever for nectarines. I may have had 2 in a row and asked mum to buy more today. YUM!
