and it’s going to be quite a while until i post another one. Well that’s not entirely true. I need to get back on this and I will do shortly. So much stuff is happening and I need to record it.
P.S. I’ve put up a new site called See The Web Directory
A pleasant surprise just recently, David arranged to meet up with Claire and Lucy for dinner. It was a great night with a number of random photos. We went to dinner at a lovely Chinese restaurant and afterwards hit a bar. Then after the girls had left us we carried on…nothing more shall be said. Photo evidence here….
I went skiing in Chamonix recently and was my first skiing trip ever. I loved it to bits and have definitely caught the bug. I can’t wait to book up my next holiday but until then here is a quick link to my Chamonix skiing photos and below are some of my favs.
Well my mum may want to leave the long cold winter nights of England for an Apartment in Cadiz, Spain.
Though I haven’t been to Cadiz myself I have been to Spain. I’ve always enjoyed going abroad and my mates have just recently been to Barcelona as well. They loved it to bits and I can’t blame them, the lucky guys even went to a football game. Anyway Spain would suit my mum down to the ground I think. The main reason for that is what Cadiz has to offer. According to Wikipedia “Cádiz, the oldest existing city in western Europe” which means there are lots of historical attractions. Plus there is a fantastic beach. One of the other good reasons mum should think about a the other cool things about Cadiz is the fact that Apartment in Cadiz is the fact its split in to two area like Hastings is. It has an old town and new town which is great to shake things up a bit.
Anyway I hope my mum finds a place in the sun….but hopefully not too soon!
What a manic yet relaxing few days. Starting off with a quick trip to Beachy Head with Emma. I met Emma in Eastbourne where we thought we could go for some lunch. Decided not to eat in town and instead go up to Beachy Head and look for a place up there.
We eventually found a place where we could eat but it looked really full. Deciding to stick with it we entered in to what was a lovely place. However Emma quickly noticed how everyone was in suits….dark suits for that matter. Yup! Perfectly we entered the happy world of a policeman’s funeral. As soon as Emma had told me what the situation was a police helicopter started hovering around the building with people on the ground waiving.
A quick giggle about the situation and we started to chat about work. As you may or may not know Emma works in a local hospital as a nurse, so I went in with my normal line “Did anyone die at work today then”. Brilliant! Aren’t I just the best? I couldn’t stop laughing and luckily no one heard except Emma. Well at least they pretended not to hear. More Beachy Head photo’s here…
It’s been a while since I actually wrote some good ol’ honest Addam tell everyone i.e. the world how you doing and stuff. I can honestly say life is pretty fantastic. To some of you this will come as a surprise considering recent events. And no this is not the self pep talk though I must say I needed a kick up the backside yesterday, which my brother kindly executed.
It wasn’t too long ago when things for my family hit an all time low and it is at times like now that reflection and putting things in to context are required. Blurred and slightly confused the big brother shakedown cleared me up and today is a new day.
So in ending to this rather bizarre and ever so short post may I say thanks for the people who contacted me yesterday, you guys and girls are awesome. And lastly to my brother who without doubt is the rock that will never erode.
Right I’ve got a day off, a girl to see and some needs that need attending…..
Thanks again guys!!!!!!!! And David thanks for singing with me!
This is a picture of the guys at work when we did our team building exercise. I’m just doing this post for two reasons. One is to test the “blog this” service from flickr and the other? Well I just like this photo!
Well so far today I negotiated a much favourable rate of interest for my current overdraft, got new mobile insurance which is free from Barclays, paid off Mother and Brother some cash, cancelled my Barclay Card and paid off the parking ticket I thought I already paid off.
Even though I’ve paid out all this cash and stuff I feel so much better though I still have two cards that I need to pay off though I’m hoping to get rid on one this month, fingers crossed.
January was a really hard month but showed me how tight things can be and still survive. It’s a lesson I needed after being on party mode for the last few months I’ve been living in Brighton. I need to focus on being as tight as I can. What this really means is budget and distributes money and stick to it the best I can.
In closing; It hurts the pocket but frees the mind.
So got super silly on the Friday night which ended up being too friendly with friends (boys you know who you are). That is the end of that. Stupidty! Went to the Pressure Point and hooked up with some friends, Preston & Jaz, Mark, Kat, Ro and maybe some others but I can’t be sure.
Saturday was recovering time which ended up watching football and waiting for the lovely Emma. A Chinese meal and some beers and we were both out for the count.
Sunday we spent tidying up and than back to Hastings to have roast dinner with Sally. All in all a good weekend. This weekend is gonna be a little crazy me thinks but a bit more control will be in order.
Until then here are some quick links to photos I took of Jaz, Kat and Google over the weekend.
Like I have said many a time not everything gets put up on this here blog. Some things are meant not to be published and shared. And if shared they are only for the people I have shared with that moment. Anyway I digress but that is my disclaimer, so if your reading my blog and you think I have forgotten to blog something then please take it as a compliment than an attack on my memory banks or how I rate such an occasion. O.k onwards and backwards…
So Christmas eve morning and I have yet to make my way to Hastings. It’s a first and to be truthful a little scary but at the same time not that scary as I was with friends that I have somewhat of a weird relationship. I don’t see them that much when I do I just can’t get enough of them. They are almost like a drug. Anyhow I sorted my stuff out and collected my things ready to leave home also known as Hove (actually) nowadays!
This Christmas was the weirdest one of all. Something wasn’t right. Something suggested to me that all is not well in the Hassan camp. The family was not acting right, or if they were I wasn’t. To be fair it all really stressed me out and I don’t know why. In any case this stress that had entered my life started to control it with headaches and tired moods that I simply cannot describe. I wasn’t depressed but I knew I was unhappy about something. People who were supporting me in this time know I’m not normally like this and to be fair since moving and working in Brighton I have been able to be myself again. Brighter, funnier some even say more sexy hahahaha. Only joking, but I am growing as a person which really excites me and the more experience I gain from doing new things and seeing friends etc the better I feel about myself.
God where was I going with this? Ah yes Christmas. Anyway the Christmas thing was good apart from the health thing. A few days there and I was back in Sunny Hove where the grass is greener but with no family. I say that – I rely on a few people who remain nameless that I rely on to talk to, chat, even hug. Though my family is the rock that will never break…ever!
Right so in summary the Christmas holidays were good in terms of presents and spending time with the people I love. Though I did miss Brighton. It’s not so much the city I love but the people that call it home.
