See now, I always find it weird when I do this type of post because I am covering the last three days of my life and.. You really wouldn't have thought that would be hard to remember. I feel like my brain constantly over writes the short term unless it makes into the long term. I am finding it hard to remember Friday - I know I wore a Hawaiian shirt that day though. For sure. It was the one that I bought from America and look so dashing in.. It doesn't really suit the British weather is the only thing, it is this weird sort of nylon-y texture.. Yeah.
Day 606
One thing I did do - was buy 'tsum' of these little fellows. I was planning on getting some flowers as a cheeky surprise for Amy but.. We only have one vase that is pretty small and flowers aren't really our thing. One thing I do know however, is that Disney + plushes = us.
These are a part of a new range of plush called Tsum Tsums and they stack on top of each other and come in a wide range of sizes and of course, character. Amy's favourite is Pluto and mine - now ours - is Stitch. I was walking past Clinton's and couldn't resist these two. They are only £3 each, the smallest size. They also for whatever reason decided to make it so the tummy is a phone screen cleaner.. Like they are targeting them at adults - I forget these days even children have smart phones. Here's a link to the page on their website, the video on the page is pretty cute as well and under a minute long, so win win.

I don't really understand how they came about to this idea because, stacking toys is pretty clever but so very random. It makes them collectable and the range of sizes won't stop you from buying more than one of the same character. At the moment, they are in sort of a phased release so not all characters are available in the UK but.. I am happy. The Stitch has made a new addition to our family, we decided to refer to him as Tsum Stitch as despite being the smallest - one is already called mini Stitch. Name is claimed.
There you go Disney - free advertising.
Of course, as a Friday comes so does Gogglebox which was as good as always. Apart from the new family - I don't know if I can get on board with them.. The Dad sits on the laptop, the Mum is dressing up and holding ransom a cat and the kids.. Just not my cuppa tea. I guess it is always hard to introduce a new family into this kind of reality TV because it is the new - the unknown. They need to hit it off with the audience on their first introduction and it didn't work for me. Like the three lads who share a place, not as good as the rest but that is just personal preference.
Day 607
So along came Saturday, not like a spider. I hate spiders. I have only seen two in the flat to date and I am more than happy about that. Can't stand the little blighters.. I don't want to have to kill them but their creepiness gets to me. It's their own faults really when you think about it. Amy had post!
Here is a picture of here wearing the post, well the contents of the post, in the least practical place possible. Where else is better to where a hat than in bed at night time? Well, perfect time for me to take a picture but none the less - you see where I was going with that I hope.
Basically, Krispy Kreme had a competition going on Instagram. Share the picture for a chance to win a limited edition hat and Amy did and she won.. Clearly. From what I assume it is because they now have 1000 shops - that or they just had a really random out of this world design artist who thought that would be great on a hat. I was unaware such thing was running nor was it mentioned to me until a hat was pulled out of a padded envelope. This is when we were on our way to Morrison's so Amy could get some baking supplies to make sugar cookies. Yay!
Saturday, a couple of friends came around. One was on the hunt for some new football boots, and I of course being the all knowing master of football had plenty of ideas. Sarcasm, of course. Despite our attempts, the search was not successful, mainly due to shops not stocking his size of shoe. We proceeded back to the flat and played a nice game of Monopoly in which I came dead last.. I really didn't have a good run of the dice so I had no chance really. I managed to get all the greens and a house on each but.. My fund were so low after that my chances were not very good. Even in the slightest. Every spot other than them for me was a farewell. We also watched Guardians of the Galaxy at the same time - it is really strange to watch Chris Pratt in Parks and Rec compared to this because he slimmed down and beefed up a lot to get this part. He does fit the role of Starlord so well though.
Day 608
This last picture, was not by me. Unless I had the best accuracy with my phone and unbelievable stability - it is a screen shot of a game,
It is a shot from Rayman Legends which is currently the game with Gold on Xbox One and I was really surprised in all honesty. This game was £23.99 down to nothing! I wonder how much they must have paid out to Ubisoft to get a deal like this.. I am so happy it was though because I downloaded it today and it is actually so much fun. It is a real through back to childhood gaming with the basic combat and platforming with the secrets mixed in.. I am enjoying it very much and I only played it for an hour or so today.
They've really made use of the nextgen capabilities and is really beautiful in terms of graphics and animation. You can see that from the shot above. It has so much to do, it is renowned for its collectables. With the online available today, there are online leaderboards and a whole new challenge section which compares your times against the rest of the world to give your rewards. Plus, you can never quite beat that feeling you get when a game does make you think of your childhood. This was one of the first games I played back on the PS1 before I became an Xbox guy.
One last thing before I go - dang it Harvester! Plans had been made for an all you can eat breakfast at the Harvester with some friends. They got there first.. And it was closed due to gas problems. It wasn't the end of the world because we just went to Frankie and Benny's instead - this was the second time I have ever been there for breakfast.. But it was good. Much better service but I am not sure if that is because it was so quiet being a Sunday morning n'all.. I had three pancakes with bacon and maple flavour syrup. There were very specific on the menu to point out it wasn't maple syrup.. Just flavoured. Which seems odd. I assume it was better for you than the real stuff. The other thing that was weird is they over a Bloody Mary I think it was.. Which has Vodka in it on the breakfast menu. What? Why?
Thanks as always for reading. Beddy byes me thinks.
