How Are People with Hayfever Supposed to Mow the Lawn?

Hello everyone and welcome back to my weekly update, i have already blogged last Monday (due to it being Bank Holiday) so i begin then last Tuesday.....

.....so back to work it was (unfortunately) the day whizzed by as i had phone calls and queries to deal with. I also had some good news that my annual salary was to be increased by £1,000, so i will be looking forward to the extra £60 in my pay cheque.

When i got home i shared my good news with Kieron, to which he was delighted. We had some tea and then sat down and watched the Director's cut of I Am Legend on Blu-ray (which was brilliant). Now on the dvd there is an option to watch the alternative ending. In the actual film we (probably) all saw at the cinema, Will Smith's character dies by setting off a grenade which kills him and the surrounding infected "people". But the ending me and Kieron saw on the dvd is very different.


WARNING: SPOLIER!!!


Ok so in the movie version Will Smith (Dr Robert Neville) captures one of these infected "people" to try out his latest version of a cure on it. The (what appears to be) "leader" of the infected then tries to capture Will Smith for revenge etc. Later in the film Will Smith finally meets two other survivers where they go back to Will's house after he is seriously hurt, unfortunately because it was still dark when they went home the infected have followed them back to their house and the "leader" of the infected and his army break into the house. Will and everyone go down into the lab and lock themselves in a sealed off section of the room where the captured infected "person" is still being tested on. The other infected come down and they are all trapped. Eventually Will sends the other two survivors into a basement for safety and then Will lets off the grenade and everything is killed. The two survivors are then seen driving to a more secure location.

The other version is exactly the same, they are chased home and then go down to the basement and lock themselves is the secured section with the captured infected "person" and the other infected chase them down there. Now earlier in the film Will has flashbacks of his wife and daughter (who is actually played by Will Smith's daughter in real life!) of them trying to escape the city and the daughter draws a butterfly on car window and says "look at the butterfly daddy." So back at the end of the film Will and the survivors are trapped and the "leader" is banging on the door but then to our amazement the "leader" draws a butterfly shape on the door. Will then grabs the captured infected and notices a tatoo (which is a butterfly). We are to pressume the captured infected is the girlfriend or possibly wife of the "leader". Will them opens the door and brings out the captured and gives her back to the leader. The infected the leave causing no further harm. Will survives and he and the other survivors leave to the secure location.


THE END!


Even though it is more predictable (because Will Smith survives) i think it is a better ending, because its got more meaning to it!

But anyway back to my blog...... Wednesday work was fairly busy and i was looking forward to going home. I also found out some news that our dear friend Adam is leaving at the end of May, he is going to do a bit of travelling with his girlfriend and then they are moving down to London. So good luck to them both.

At lunch me and Paul decided to buy Adam a drink in a early good luck drink, but i'm sure we will give a better send off nearer the time.

In the evening my mum popped round as she was bored and brought a bottle of wine with her. We had a nice chat and i told her my good news about my pay rise. We watched a bit of telly and then she left about 10pm.

Thursday, work had slowed down a bit which gave me time to relax and sort out some filing. In the evening me and Kieron decided to mow the front lawn as it had started to get out of control. Although its mine and Kieron's least favourite job as we both suffer with hayfever so we have to stop every 5 minutes to scratch our eyes and arms, wipe our noses, sneeze, so it took us a while. After we had cleaned up we decided to watch Troy (no different endings here though!).

Friday work was even slower but there weren't that many people in the office so it was nice and quiet. In the evening me and Kieron watched some tv for a bit, i then went and watched Kieron play on GTA 4 for a bit before going to bed.

Saturday was a good day, me and mum went into town to do some shopping. My mum wanted some new trousers for work and she wanted to get a new outfit for a party she is having in June. We went round, Next, Wallis, Evans, Principles and Debenhams for her try out loads of different things. We had a bite to eat and then it was make-your-mind-up time. I ended buying a new top for work form Next and a little black cardigan to wearin the evenings. My mum brought two new pairs of trousers from Evans but couldn't find any tops she liked. It was nearly 2pm and we had been in town since 9.30am so we decided we had had enough. On our way back home we called in to see nan and grandad and had a glass of wine and a cake. We had a chat and showed them what we had bought and then set off for home. On our way Kieron rang me to tell me that he and Gareth were at the Packhorse adn did we want to meet them there for a drink -to which we replied yes!

We sat outside in the sunshine and had a bite to eat (although it wasn't the best meal i had ever had at the Packhorse!). It was soon 6pm and me and Kieron left to go over to Steve and Natalie's.

We all had a chat, but it wasn't long before the lads were on the Xbox so me and Natalie went and watched tv and carried on having a girlie chat.

It was all getting a bit late so me and Kieron left about 11.30pm and went home to bed.

Sunday was a good day. Me and Kieron still had some bits of our old wardrobe left to get rid of, so we smashed them up and took it down to the tip. We then went over to Morrisons to do our shopping.

In the afternoon Kieron had borrowed Overlord from Steve so he was busy playing that whilst i sat down and caught up with some tv. In the evening i went down to nans for tea.

And i think that about wraps it all up for me so cheerio!
