New fangled invetions! And moving again!

Well its been some time since I last wrote on my blog and it looks like nobody has been following it!

Well nether mind. I enjoy every so often put bits down on my blog and today is one of those days!

New Fangled Inventions!
Since I started writing my blog I have discovered both Facebook and Twitter. Both system are cool. with Facebook I was able to contact an old school friend who I have not been in contact with since 1982. Over the last week I have also been using Twitter so if you do look me up its joolzofsalopia.

Well two weeks I met up with my old friend and we had a great laugh and was chatting about the 'Good Old Days' at AMR (that's the name of our School) .
Hopefully we will meet up soon again. unfortunately I could not meet him up on the second occasion as I had family around at the new place and he has to go to India

New Places!
Talking of new places. I have moved again!!! And for the second time in my life I am living in Essex. Hence one of the reasons why I have not been blogging.

We moved the week that the snow hit the South East, so we ended up delayed by two days and ended up living out of boxes, and from the bedroom.

Anyway from the beginning of January once items were ready to be moved I have been loading my car and driving the 20 miles from Catford to Chafford, off loading them in the house and then going back to do the same job again.
On the Sunday the snow arrived I did 4 trips and on the final one the snow started to fall when I was loading up the car. We drove up the A2 road and when we left London and entered Kent the road dropped from 3 lanes to 1 as the council had not been gritting the roads. Once we was on the Essex side of the Thames the road were clear again.
I had one hair raising moment where there car started to slide, but I was able control the slide and direct the car away from the other cars, but I did buckle the front wheel as the car hit a curb. That was soon fixed at the service mind.

I do miss the old place in some ways - like having to get up before 6am, and being on the 07:30 train, also I have got used to Catford having lived there since 1990.
But when I do get the right train the trip seems to be a quicker trip and we do have a nice warm house.

By the way I got the wrong train last night, and ended up by Basildon. I did not get home until 8pm, we then had to rush eating tea to go bunny sitting down in Kent.

Well hopefully I will up date my blogg properly and also add some photo's to make it more interesting within the next couple of weeks.

But then I have said that before when I came back from France - mind Christmas arrived and then the move.

well I will sign off for now.

So chow.
