Today we cleaned out the fish tank and will soon be getting all the water, lighting and heat ready! I've been doing lots of reading up on different kinds of fish and am struggling to make up my mind what I'd like!! A cow fish would be my ideal fish but sadly not in our tank! 

Cowfish:

Song Of The Day: Madonna - Frozen

Reason: I adore this song, it's timeless. 

Highlight Of The Day: Seeing how fast Stark can run now. He's like a horse! 

Inspiration Of The Day: Puffer fish, my latest fish desire. Super cute but feisty too.

Today has been a nice day off followed by an eventful evening! We had a huge lie in, then took the boy's sister to the Trafford Centre for Frankie & Bennys, then finished off with a visit to my Dads. After finishing off my college work however it got to the eventful part. I lent over to stroke Stark and he jumped and bit me in the face. I think he was being possessive over his bone but its really u like him. He's taken a little chunk out from under my lip and I've got teeth marks and scrapes on my right cheek but its really nothing bad. I did have to go to a&e for a tetanus shot as I think my other one is due to run out soon. At least I'm covered next time I get a bite or scratch! 

Before I Got Mauled:

Highlight Of The Day: A nice super long lie in! 

Song Of The Day: Frankie & Bennys soundtrack

Reason: Classic listening that really sets the tone

Inspiration Of The Day: Hats! I'm determined to find one that suits me!

Today Stark was being extra annoying as he was attempting to crawl all over me and was barking at every piece of fluff whilst I was trying to do college work. I managed to get some done but it would have been a lot easier in a library with no animals!!! In other news, the fish are now eating really well and seem a lot more active. The water is still really green and cloudy but fingers crossed a few more water changes will do it. 

Big Fish:

Song Of The Day: Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

Reason: One of my favourite songs, so easy to relate to. 

Highlight Of The Day: Watching Starky run for his ball. He's so fast now! 

Inspiration Of The Day: 

I started re-reading one of my Point Horror books, Homecoming Queen. I love how American, cheesy and unrealistic they are.

Today has been a nice day off. I have literally done nothing! I watched some tv and a couple of films, played with my puppy and kitties and then ate ice cream whilst watching Catfish: The TV Show. Perfect!

Ratty Hammock:


Song Of The Day: The Distillers - The Hunger (Live at Reading Festival)
Reason: Just watch!


Highlight Of The Day: Watching Melancholia.

Inspiration Of The Day: Phantom cameras! Such beautiful images!!!

Today was the dog portrait day at work, so Stark came in for his picture taken. He was really good and hopefully they've come out really nice!!

Reason: Love this song!

Highlight Of The Day: An early night.

Inspiration Of The Day: The students of Auckland Uni standing up for women's rights!

The ratties love their new hammocks and I love the colour! I like them to have comfortable beds that keep them warm. They look so cute all snuggled together in them!

Ratty Hammock:

Song Of The Day: Uberbyte - The Black Classroom

Reason: One of their best songs in my opinion!

Highlight Of The Day: Relaxing with my puppy.

Inspiration Of The Day: Cyber Candy. Best candy shop ever!

I'm spent a good chunk of my evening feeding my Pinterest addiction. I'm now also even more depressed as I can't afford my dream home! Boo!

Big Puppy:


Song Of The Day: Madonna - Frozen
Reason: Not a massive Madonna fan but this song/video is beautiful. One of my favourite songs of all time.

Highlight Of The Day: A nice training session/walk in the park with my puppy.

Inspiration Of The Day: Cher. Shes such a creative, brave artist. Plus I love her songs!!

Photo Every Day #227

Today we saw the cutest kitten in work! It was so fluffy! I can't believe how big my two are now, they're little whoppers, especially Draco. This evening we've been watching more Downton Abbey. It's really good and we've gotten really into it. 

Puppy Kisses: 

Song Of The Day: Pantera - Walk

Reason: Such a timeless song. 

Highlight Of The Day: A customer saying I'd made her day by selling her some fish on her birthday!

Today we took Klaus to the vets to get his paw checked out. He's been put on Metacam for the swelling and if he's not improved over the weekend he's to go back and be x-rayed. He seems to be eating, cleaning himself and pooping ok, which are all good signs. But the vet did say his lameness was very severe as he's putting no weight on it. Fingers crossed its just bruised. 

Mousey: 

Song Of The Day: One Direction - The Best Song Ever

Reason: It's been stuck in my head all day. 

Highlight Of The Day: Watching a film with stark asleep next to me on the couch.

Inspiration Of The Day: How animals just get on with life even thought they're in pain. They don't take pills for every little thing like most people do!

We went to a friends for tea tonight and Stark got an invite too. He was rather rude and just wanted to play the entire time! Now he's rather tired! 

Worn Out:

Song Of The Day: American Hi-Fi - Rise

Reason: Nice, chirpy song.

Highlight Of The Day: Getting some home bits done. 

Inspiration Of The Day: Extreme Cheapskates. A documentary series on TLC about people who penny pinch. Some of it is way to hardcore for me but there are a couple of small hidden gems to save a few pounds.

Today we went to a BBQ at my Mum's house. Stark was very good and he seems to enjoy being around different people. I've also chosen the paint for the main bathroom, it's called soft steel so I'm hoping it looks nice! 

Soft Steel: 

Song Of The Day: Demi Lovato - Heart Attack

Reason: Very catchy but still not my favourite song. 

Highlight Of The Day: The BBQ. 

Inspiration Of The Day: Newly single friends. Girl power.

Today we went on a picnic with a couple of friends at Marbury Park. We took Stark and he was so good, he didn't mither for food or steal any! He also went swimming in the lake, he goes out really far now and he adores it. It's really building up his fitness too. 

Paddling In The Lake:

Song Of The Day: Robin Thicke, T.I. & Pharell Williams - Blurred Lines

Reason: Still loving this song. What rhymes with hug me? 

Highlight Of The Day: A nice day in the sun. 

Inspiration Of The Day: My cats watching a daddy long legs. Hilarious how entertained they are by something so simple.

We went to Lymm Dam again for our walk this evening. We keep seeing these carvings in the trees and each time we go there seems to be more and more. I don't know if they're supposed to be there but they are pretty to look at. 

Carvings:

Song Of The Day: Metallica - One

Reason: Possibly the best music video ever. 

Highlight Of The Day: Getting some general sorting out done. 

Inspiration Of The Day: Online courses. Trying to decide is so hard! Way too much choice. 

Photo Every Day #192

Today Stark lost his first tooth! Well the first one I've managed to find after its has become unattached, but I think it's actually his second. He's growing up so fast! 

Song Of The Day: Missy Elliot - Gossip Folks

Reason: Love her videos. She's also someone who seems like a cool person in real life too, she was great on MTVs cribs. 

Highlight Of The Day: A late walk with the puppy and seeing loads of bunnies. 

Inspiration Of The Day: The people who make Milka chocolate. I love you.

Today we went for our next lot of training classes for the Kennel Club Good Citizen Bronze Award. He did really well and it's much easier to get things practiced properly when there's only two of us in the class! 

Song Of The Day: Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench

Reason: Reminds me of the summer and good weather for some reason! 

Highlight Of The Day: Bunny cuddles

Inspiration Of The Day: Failbook. Hilarious!

Today Stark went to the vets to be weighed for his flea treatment and he's now a whopping 11.4kg! He's definitely not my little boy anymore! The nurse said she reckoned he be at the higher end of the usual collie weight bracket as he's so tall. It was nice to have a day off in the sun and to wear a dress instead of my work uniform. So today's PED is of my lovely Hawaiian 50s style dress. 

Song Of The Day: Nine Inch Nails - Wish  

Reason: Really can't wait to hear their new album. 

Highlight Of The Day: Buying some hair dye! Bye bye roots.

Inspiration Of The Day: Victorian mental institutions. I was watching the new Broadmoor documentary on the CI channel and its really fascinating to see how psychology has developed over the years. 

Photo Every Day #187

Today we bought Stark a paddling pool. He loves it! He tries to catch the splashes he makes and runs in circles. It's so cute.  

Song Of The Day: Eminem - The Real Slim Shady

Reason: I love old Eminem. Such a lot to say but still relevant. 

Highlight Of The Day: Seeing the cutest chihuahua puppy in work. 

Inspiration Of The Day: Cookbooks. I really want to start cooking properly again. 

Photo Every Day #185

Today has been stupidly hot in work, a mega 32 degrees! Crazy! I'm hoping tomorrow cools down with it being delivery day otherwise I'll loose half my body weight in sweat carrying all the heavy stock around! I've also picked up a few huge bites from insects when I've been out walking the dog. They've come up in to huge welts around 1-2 inches wide/long. They're so itchy! It's nice seeing the sun but I'd prefer it with a bit more breeze and a lot less insects.

Song Of The Day: Iggy Azalea - Bounce

Reason: Really like her and want to listen to some more of her stuff. 

Highlight Of The Day: Watching Starky play in the stream.

Inspiration Of The Day: Horoscopes. I only believe them when they say good things that I really want to happen though! My PED is of my Chinese year symbol, which is also interesting too! I'm definitely a real Leo/Dragon child.

Today was another day where nothing particularly exciting happened. I did have a nice chat about our futures with a friend in work though, so it's given me some more things to think about. Stark's new favourite treat at the moment appears to be jam tarts. He seems to sniff them out from across the room! He's only allowed tiny tastes though, so as not to ruin his super healthy diet! 

Song Of The Day: Limp Bizkit - Rollin'

Reason: Tune! 

Highlight Of The Day: Walking Stark with my Dad. 

Inspiration Of The Day: Egg warmers! Look them up on Etsy! Amazing!

Today I mostly slept away my day off as I've still got bad toothache. After a trip to the dentist this morning I'm back on antibiotics and hoping it clears up fast. 

Song Of The Day: Demi Lovato - Heart Attack

Reason: Stuck in my head! Must have heard it on the radio. 

Highlight Of The Day: Puppy cuddles followed by Draco cuddles.

Inspiration Of The Day: Private dentists. So worth paying for good service.
