Snuggling up with a movie

April 16th, 2009

I am not very well today, nothing serious just girly times…but I love nothing more than to snuggle up in my big dressing gown and Watch movies but I don’t have any at the moment — I have watched all the DVDs I own and if I ordered one online it wouldn’t come in time. It’s times like this I am happy for streaming movie sites on the Internet! Sites where you can Watch movies online for free are my saviour at times like this! MyMovees.com is a new one I just heard about that I am going to check out now, they have TV episodes as well as movies :)

Dad the Rev Head

April 16th, 2009

My dad knows his way around Toyota engines like I know my way around my local shopping mall — he’s been working with them since I was a small child and still tinkers whenever he can now that he’s retired.

He sometimes used to buy beat up and broken down engines, not just Toyota but any he could get his hands on at a good price, fix them up and give them a clean and then sell them on at a profit — he loved doing it and my Mom loved the extra money so it was a win win situation. He got ripped off a lot along the way by some dodgy dealers though, even as a self professed expert he was conned a few times so I feel for people who aren’t in the know about engines.
