Day 371

The picture below is of Amy - obviously. She asked for me to use this picture specifically, we were in Pizza Express and as you can see - something was shining on her head. Not entirely sure what but it was just right is I took a picture. Clearly. 

I used to be a real Pizza Hut fanboy but since the taste card has made Express a lot more affordable.. I may be converted. It's nice to have a formal meal with.. Seemingly unformal food. The mushroom bruschetta they have as a starter is like.. My favourite thing ever! It's amazing. The bread is think and puffy but cuts nicely and the mushrooms and the sauce.. Oh yes please. If you are a fun of mushrooms, give it a try! 

Went for another run this morning. I have a route sort of planned out for the timescale I am running at the moment it works out just right as I finish at my house as the warm down walk finishes which is nice. I can't wait to be able to run for a half hour period. 

I am currently watching Attack on Titan which is an anime about humanity being attacked by titans. It's really interesting and I've heard a of about it / turns out it is on Netflix. Awesome. I'll keep you updated.

Titans

Day 370

Played a lot more Titanfall and I am getting into it now. It is a strange mix having real opponents and then the obviously.. Redundant AI which is there to add extra experience income and stuff. They pose no real threat to a player who is paying attention. I really think they missed a big design idea in having a solo multiplayer, especially with such a unique game mechanic. I think they could have done something rather good with it. Not that it is bad at the moment - very enjoyable!

Just started watching the second season of American Horror Story. Enjoying it already, it's clever as they've kept the same cast but put them in different roles so.. You already know who you're watching but it's a completely different story than before.

Must sleep. Running in the morning. Oosh.

Carrots..

Day 369

I am watching the football again currently but.. It's in extra time so it is a very good game.

We went to Bluewater today to do some shopping and stuff. I was looking to get some running shoes or something along those lines but the cheapest were about £80! Not really looking to pay that much at this early stage, maybe further down the line if keep running up - who knows? We tried something new also, joov. I thought it would be tasty and healthy.. Mine was.. Questionable. I chose lemon splash, but as you can see below it was orange, that's because it has carrot in it. I would have liked a lot more lemon, I love the sharp flavour.. But there were so many bits in it I found myself chewing. Amy had a tropical one which she was happy with. I still didn't fancy that either.

I also bought Titanfall today which is really good - but it is such a team based game you have to get a team together or rely on luck. Games like Call of Duty you can carry your team if you are good enough but this - no way. Very enjoyable though, a completely different concept to have everything even the story being multiplayer also. Does make it harder to complete all the story missions but who doesn't like a challenge?

Amy now has tamodchi life for the 3DS. It is really different in terms of games that I am used to, especially ones for the handheld consoles. It speaks the names that you give and has set dialogue and stuffs.. Some of the voices are pretty creepy. Looks enjoyable, that's the main thing.

And that is Amy's hand in the background jumping into the picture.

Sky

Day 368

Look at this lovely picture of the sky. I am currently watching the football so I shall let myself get on.

Day 367

So today, was a normal day - work and stuff. Apart from this morning, I was awake a lot earlier than usual to go for a run. Type thing. I am using an NHS App called couch to 5k to get you running 5km in 9 weeks. This is in preparation for a fun run with work called the Rainbow run. It's for charity and you get paint thrown all over you. Awesome. I just need to get some nice running shoes for now.

So Murray was out of the tennis yesterday, it's a shame but apparently he was no where near his best otherwise 3 straight sets.. Nuh uh. Even his opponent said he was not right, I'm not supporting Djokovic because he is rather good anyway. Plus - we still have some Brits in the mixed doubles so who knows?

I've recently got back into playing Plants vs. Zombies. I really like the community driven feel to the game, free updates with new games and maps and characters! Most games that is a holiday addition otherwise you pay for it. This is just nice, and so casual to play. No stress.. Just enjoyment.

So today's picture, is of Mr Tom playing with Amy's camera taking pictures of his new toy - a new car. And I tell you what, the pictures came out really well. Did it some real justice.

Lola

Day 366

So what did I get up to today? Well I went for a ride in my friends new car, very snazzy. Brand new Golf GTD which is so smooth and shiny and lovely. It's an automatic and I've never really thought about driving one - I always wanted to learn manual so I could drive anything if the needs be. Apparently automatics are much nicer. Who knows? I'll have to drive one in America soon enough! We went to Asda and as it was spontaneous.. N be apart from me had their wallet.. The bank of Matt eh?

I also bumped into a friend who is back from university for the summer. The picture is of his lovely doggy Lola. She is so friendly and happily jumps up to meet you - for a couple of seconds.. Then sniffs everything. It's pretty sweet.

Totally fell asleep typing this. Not..

To get her to sit still we pretended to have a treat which she patiently awaited even though it was a piece of grass. Nearly ate it anyway!

The Year

DAY 365

So, a year ago I decided to challenge myself to post a picture every day for a year. And it looks like.. I have actually managed to do this. Looking back it the pictures paints a nice timeline which brings back a lot of memories.

Thinking about it now - what have I done in this last year? I've got a new job which I love. Me and Amy are in the process of booking our first holiday abroad, no bars held either - America. I've been to Thorpe Park numerous times, Alton Towers, Chessington, Lego Land, various Sea Life centres, Cadbury world. I've joined a gym! Something I never thought I would do, turns out I feel better already. It burns a bit. But it will be worth it. It's strange looking back at a year and thinking about what you've actually done. 

So now - you may be wondering where I plan to go from here.. I honestly haven't thought that all the way through yet. There's a surprise. I'm thinking - more photos. Keep that going. I want to push myself to expand though, post stuff I've been thinking about alongside. Make it a bit more than a 5 second glance. 

But thanks. I do like my blog.
