Another One - So Soon?

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything. If you have nothing interesting to say, share it in a blog... I subscribe to both of these views, so... Things I learned (not learnt - try to write and speak proper like what I do) over the Bank Holiday weekend:
It's far colder here at the moment than it should be and certainly a good 20 degrees colder than Orlando Florida, where we have been for the past couple of weeks.
Sky customer services are a lot more accessible and helpful than I had expected or been led to believe.
There are no long sticks to be found easily in garden centres.
The Inbetweeners Movie was a good laugh, but not as brilliant as I was expecting (although the dancing scene is a classic moment in film history).
Life is good, take time out to appreciate it and everything around you - because that bus over there might just be coming to squish you

The Impressive first post

I've dipped in and out of various people's blogs over the years, and often thought I'd like to do one of those. So I have. It will variously feature my views on most things, blatant plugs for my various ventures http://www.falcongrinding.co.uk/ you see I really am shameless http://www.tonyjohnsonart.co.uk/ there I go again! and the ubiquitous long periods when I am really busy/can't be arsed/have nothing interesting to say - some would argue that the last would preclude any content whatsoever, but when they speak I tend to put my fingers in my ears and chant "La, la, la..."
For anyone stumbling across my blog "Welcome" especially if you've read this far, for anyone subscribing "Thank you" especially if you are rich and are at least considering sending me money (I admit that this is a long shot - ho hum).
Well there it is my first post, I feel it's missing an interesting fact so can I just say that West Bromwich Albion football ground (The Hawthorns) has the highest altitude of football grounds in the country. I also like words, one of my favouritres is mellifluous which means flowing with sweetness, slip it into conversation if you can.
