Today the road was covered in ice, sneakily covered by snow. I have never driven in ice before. Nore was I to do so for long.

I got to the end of my estate where the usual little hill looked like a mountain. I saw a four by four Jeep struggling to get up it and decided that in my tiny Ford KA I had no chance.

I turned around to drive back home. As I turned the corner my car got caught on some ice and it began to slide towards the curb. Closer and closer it came, I slammed on the breaks but it did nothing. BANG!

There goes my wheel and tyre. I parked further down on the road. And went home for a cup of tea.

I rang work and informed them of the situation and explained that I would not be in until I have changed my spare wheel (which would later become not coming in at all).

I managed to change my wheel to the spare (a MAJOR achievement for me!).

I headed down Dean’s (step dad’s). We managed to find a wheel from a scap yard. We then went to a tyre specialist who sorted out my tracking and replaced all of my wheels (it turned out they all needed doing!). So although I am glad they are done (as it will give better grip on the road), I could of done with out spending the £150 it cost.

The lesson in all this: Don’t drive it ice! It’s not safe.

Hoping all is well,

Antony

Hello All,

Saw David at the weekend. He brought a dozen red roses. They are beautiful, look:

Blog Soon,

Antony

The feeling were awesome! They were on for 2 hours and 30 mins!

Here’s some photos:

And some video clips

I recently had a message on facebook from a old school mate, talk about a blast from the past! It was nice to hear off the person in question, if not a little odd.

This is the thing about facebook, it allows all mannors of people from your past to get in touch with you. Some you would like and some you may not. Now whilst I don’t mind this person getting in touch, I have had others add me as a friend that I’ve chose to ignore. Sometimes you past is your past for a reason.

In other news…David and I went watching Eagle Eye this weekend. It was an action film about two people who were being instructed to do things for an unknown purpose. It was all action. The story line was weak and easily worked out. A film that is worth watching once to say you’ve seen - but not worth buying on DVD.

Tomorrow I am going to see The Feeling, so excited.

Bathroom dancing, does anybody do it?

Whilst your bath is running, plugged in to your ipod - dance in front of the mirror. Is it just me? I think we all need a bit of fun every now and again, ha ha or maybe I just need a night out!

My weekend (see A Weekend ‘Paganing’) inspired me, despite being broke, to buy How to Create a Magical Home and Utterly Wicked: Curses, Hexes & Other Unsavory Notions. Now the latter may worry you, however we curse people sub-conciously on a daily basis. I also use the phrase ‘know thy enemy’. In addition to these books, I couldn’t resist picking up 2009 Bunny Suicides Deluxe Diary.

Finally, I have just discovered French and Saunders are realising a DVD of their last ever tour. I was lucky enough to see it earlier this year with my mum.

I will be buying this as I think they are wonderful. Perhaps a Christmas gift to myself.

Warmest Regards,

Antony

Well what a weekend it’s been, eh?

For me it’s been a busy one as I have been ‘paganing’. I attended a late Samhain ritual on Saturday, which gave me an opportunity to interact with my local fellow pagans. I was supprised to discover how much I actually knew and for the first time calculated how long I had been a practicing pagan. Over 7 years, wow!

Then today (Sunday) I attended a Healing Festival to show my support for a charity, raising funds to buy a forest.

It was a lovely weekend, that made me contemplate where I go next on my spiritual journey. I hmade a decision to focus on Spirit Communication, Astral Travel & Closening my Connection with the God Goddess.

In Love and Light ,

Antony
