Pets - Blog Every Day In May.

I'm one of those people who grew up around animals.  When I was born my parent's dog Penny was there before I was and I loved her.  I want to say it was for her eccentric ways but I think it was just because she was the dog that she was and a good one at that! Over the years we also had a rabbit called Peter and a few hamsters.  Then when I moved to university I couldn't have a pet but I'm not sure I'd have able to look after one then I just about looked after myself! A few years after graduating me and Paul had the pet talk.  I wanted a dog he wanted a cat there was some debate which lasted another year or so until we were offered the kittens.

They just were tiny little bundles of fluff when we got them, we named them Frankenstein & Tuxedo and now they are big parcels of mischievous fluff!

They like to try to eat all sorts of things...

Keep an eye on us when we're cooking.

Sometimes they like to show us a bit of love.

Neither of them like hugs!

I wasn't the biggest cat lover before I got them and now I couldn't imagine my life without them!

A day in the life - Blog Everyday in May.

Most days at the moment start the same way with my boyfriend bringing me a cup of tea in bed to have with my ginger nut biscuits.

This is usually followed by Tuxedo miaowing a hello & jumping on the bed for a stroke.


Then a bowl of cereal is delivered & I'm ordered into my bubble bath. It's a hard life! After that I get ready singing along to my boyfriend's Nirvana & Stone Roses alarms before herding Frankenstein in from daydreaming in the garden. Silly cat! This is followed by dashing around grabbing coats & jackets then heading for the bus with Paul & off to work. Then after getting off the bus I walked Paul to work and up Barkers pool where I saw this...

Shortly after passing John Lewis & walking up Division Street I got to work and due to my job dealing with customer information I couldn't take any pictures of my work... It was mainly spent answering emails today. Here's a picture of the view out of one of the windows instead!

A few hours later I went out for my lunch and ventured down Division Street again and on to the continental market on Fargate.


I was treated to a curry by my paramour, when I ate that I had to head back for my afternoon's work. Here's a picture of some stairs at my work...


After vetting and writing more emails and a chat with my new team leader I left work at twenty five past five to met my Mum and sister up for tea at Platillos.

We had some food but we ate it... This was followed by meeting Andy to watch a couple of bands to celebrate Mum's birthday. The first were called Renegade Brass band.

They were a mix of ska and hip hop. We mainly liked the bits without the rapping best.

The Apples headline band The Apples were the main event though.

Even if they were a bit Jazz funk at times... However we'd started to flag at that point and decided to head home after a quick drink at the Brown Bear on the way back.
So that was my 3rd May how was yours?

Spring is Here! Blog Everyday in May.

 

So after what feels like a long wait spring is finally here! The sun has even decided to grace my little corner of Sheffield and set the blossom trees to blooming. 

 

On closer inspection of my environs it also appears that the flowers have been awoken to entice insects, spread pollen and grace the odd blog post....

After the long, treacherous winter we've just had I've decided to try and get out of the office whenever it's sunny.  Even if it's just for a bit on my lunch breaks to make the most of it.  If I hadn't I might not have noticed the crazy orange flowers on that plant or ventured into the shop near the Washington with the yams, baby aubergines and massive packs of spices!

5 Lines - Blog Every Day in May.

My name is Correen, I'm 26 years old.

I started this blog a few years ago to get back into reviewing bands and to set myself challenges, often food based but sometimes a little different.

I write letters and emails for a living and have two part written novels in my virtual desk draw. 
I also like to support my local roller derby team...

...as well as watch live music, read far fetched fiction and abuse stringed instruments.

Blog Every Day in May Challenge.

I like to follow other people's blog and one of the bloggers I follow is called Rosalilium and she posted a challenge of blogging every day in May.

If you know me you know that I quite like a challenge and that I've been struggling with this blog of late and this seemed like the perfect idea. Rosalilium's blog post on the subject can be found here.

Whilst I can be found resting in bed trying to get healthy enough to meet this challenge, wish me luck!
