C'est La Vie!

Hello Hello and back once again for another update, the weeks keep flying by now but nevertheless.......on with the blog!

So last Monday, the week started off quite busy and hectic as on Monday we had our annual Audit. We have a QA System (Quality Assurance) in place at PD Architects and basically all it is is to let Clients and companies know that basically we aren't cowboys and we know what we are doing!

We normally have the same guy come in to audit us but he has retired and we have a new boy on the block! And he wasn't very nice! He was a bit arrogant and extremely pedantic! Throughout the day though Paul (QA Manager), Peter (QA Executive) and me (QA Assistant), tried to make the day flow smoothly as possible.

In the evening i sat and watched tv and Kieron was on World of Warcraft, but he joined me when Big Brother came on.

Tuesday was an ok day at work, the day seemed to drag and we also found out our result from the Audit. We passed however there is a long list of things that this new auditor thinks that we should change so we have a lot of work to do before April/May '09 when he comes back!

In the evening i watched bits of tv whilst playing on my laptop and Kieron was on (you've guessed it) World of Warcraft.

Wednesday work was ok, until my printer broke down and it wouldn't do anything! So Harley from AB came over to fix it. The day went by fairly quickly and i was home before i knew it!

Thursday work was busy but in a good way. I managed to get alot done which made me feel better as i had alot of old projects waiting to be archived which normally takes me a whole day to sort out and organise, so i had it all waiting for me for Friday.

In the evening me and Kieron watched FH Hafnarfjordur (their Icelandic) vs Aston Villa in our 2nd round of qualifying for UEFA. Amazingly and to mine and Kieron's delight the match was shown on Channel 5, and what a delgith it was. We won 4-1 and we played some very good nifty football.

Friday was a a quiet day which was good as it meant i could get on with my archiving. It took me all day but i didn't mind because the day flew past.

In the evening Stuart came round to see Kieron, so whilst they were on the Xbox i took my laptop into the bedroom to watch some tv. Stuart only stayed till 9pm so i went and watched Big Brother Live Eviction.

Saturday was a busy day in the morning me and Kieron did some tidying up before i went round to my nan and grandad's for some lunch. It was grandad's birthday the day before and we went round for a little celebration. Nan had done a small buffett and we all tucked in.

I had brought grandad a Waterstones gift voucher, mum brought him a M&S voucher and Gaz had brought him a bottle of Whiskey.

We had a nice chat and plenty to drink (thanks to Gaz driving) and had a nice afternoon helping nan and grandad finish their newspaper crossword.

It was soon 5.30pm and we had to dash off as me and Gaz were going out. When i used to work at Jofson i worked with a lady in the Sales Office callled Lisa and we became really good friends. Well it was her 40th birthday party at the Great Barr Hotel.

I quickly dashed home to pick up my things, said hello and goodbye to Kieron, although he had Jim round to keep him company and went back to mums to get ready.

After sorting Gaz out with a few mishaps we were ready and dad picked us up at 7.15pm. We arrived at the Hotel for just gone 8pm and soon found Lisa and Neil. There were a small number of people who were already there, so we got a drink and found a seat at a table before the room was packed. Lisa had invited about 100 people and was expecting about 70-80 of them. We sat at a table with a couple who have known Lisa for a long time Carl and i think her name was Emma but i cant quite remember!

They were a lovely couple and we were soon chatting to them. Neil came over and joined us and we were soon having a lovely time.

The buffett was opened at about 9pm but unfortunately there still wasn't many people. There was approximately about 30 of us with all this food stacking up. Me and Gaz felt really really bad and sorry for Lisa who had obviously gone through a lot of trouble to make the evening memerable and she was very upset that her guests had bothered to show up!

But still the night carried on and we had a good old dance and a great time. But sadly the night came to an end around midnight by which time, there was only Lisa, Neil, me, Gaz and dad left. We stood around talking for quite a long time and then we sudenly realised that Lisa hadn't cut the cake!

So we got the knife and Lisa cut three huge chunks of cake for us to take home! We said our goodbyes and made our way home. I got back to the flat for about 2am and went straight to bed when i got in.

Sunday morning me and Kieron got up, i had a shower and we set off to Morrisons to do our shopping. We got back home and Kieron did some lunch whilst i put the shopping away.

At 1pm we set off for Kings Norton train station as we were going to Villa Park to watch the first match of the new football season and we were at home against Manchester City.

We got the 1.21pm train and the train goes right through to Aston. We got their for about 2pm and made our way to the stadium. The place was packed and ready for action. We went through and found our seats, we were sitting in Holte End (Lower) Row F, which was out on the right from the back of the goal.

It was a 3pm kick-off and it was a brillaint and exciting match and we ended up winning 4-2. When we scored it was brillaint to watch as Villa were shooting our end and we got to see all the action.

The match was finally over but getting out of teh stadium was manic but thanks to Kieron we made our way towards and train station and back home.

In the evening i called down to see my nan for some tea as usual.


Right, well i think that just baout does me for now so cheerio!
