Matt Talks Life: Hello again

Sorry I didn't do a post yesterday, but as you may know I started work at half five in the morning meaning I was up at about twenty to five. I felt fine for most of the day until about ten, then I went a bit loopy and wanted to go to sleep. If I had blogged yesterday I would probably have told you how awesome giraffes are at rollerblading. They might be.

So, what have I been doing? You must be eager to know, so eager! Well, lets start at the beginning I guess. Work was strange because not only was it a bank holiday but the half term. The shop opened at six and I didn't serve anyone until about twenty past seven. That gave me an hour of dawdling which actually went pretty fast to be fair. But being at work and doing nothing is never any fun, especially when I am stuck behind a till! After that it was a pretty standard shift. Yeah.

After work, which was about one, I had a quick shower and then headed off to be the beach. We decided to go to Hastings, about an hour and a half's drive away. Only thing was that finding a parking spot was a damn nightmare! I mean, we were expecting that but it was crazy. A lot of people just gave up but we just went to a car park that was really far away. About a forty five minute walk away to be exact. We had some nice fish and chips at the same place that we ate last time went. Whippy ice cream. Then we headed over to an arcade and went 2p crazy. Not for very long as we only had three hours parking and needed to get back to the car in time. We managed to get three little toys out and all the claw machines were fixed. All of the prizes had money attached to them so you knew you weren't going to get anything. Still worth a try though? Lovely weather too. Lots of burnt people. Meh.

It was about eight when we got back, managed to drive home without any assistance which was pretty awesome. As in, no guidance from Siri. We were talking about going to see the Hangover Part 3 but then I sort of felt sleepy, then I went a little crazy so we decided to leave it until today!

First thing that happened today was a man from BT coming. He was here to 'upgrade' our Internet to fibre optic as we now qualify for it. It's so fast! Before we would get up to about 12MB if we were lucky and that was at night when no one was on the Internet. Now, in the evening when everyone is on the Internet we can get up to 33MB! It's so crazy! I tested it during the day and it went even higher than that, as you can see.

By the way, that app is really good. It's called Speed Test, can test the speed of your wifi or 3G. I was surprised at the speed of the 3G network.

Then we headed off to Rochester to have a nice lunch out at Frankie And Benny's and then to see Hangover. We had the lunch menu, so free drink refills and two courses for about £9. I had garlic and cheese sauce with mushrooms. Amy had bruschetta. For my main I decided to have a chicken BBQ pizza which was so good! Never had a pizza from there before. Amy had penne romana or something along those lines. I was proud of my adventurousness by having things I had never had! Very tasty I might add. Plus they have changed the set menus for evening meals so we need to go back and try that at some point too!

So, I won't say too much about the Hangover because a lot of people may not have watched it yet as it was only out last Thursday I think. I will say for those who haven't fine yet, make sure that you watch the bit after the credits, the waiter tipped us off that there was something there. It's by no means the best of the three but I still want it on DVD.

After that we went to PC World in Aylesford. Amy got herself a new toy. A big one! It's so cool. I started this blog post on there so I'm not sure if there will be a formatting issue between me transferring to the phone but.. I guess we shall see once its up and out there. I think I would like an iPad mini because it fits in my hand and I could type on it easy without needing to split the keyboard to reach! I've always wanted a Micrisoft Surface though so.. If anyone wants to give me £400 then I won't complain. That'll be your way of sponsoring my blog? Wink wink, nudge nudge.
