Apologies for the serious lack of blogging. It's been all about new beginnings recently - a move to a new flat (a gorgeous two bed that I've furnished with several mahogany bookcases), a new job (bloody loving it too) and ditching a load of old clothes, pointless Facebook friends and bad habits.
I was lured over to BT after promises of huge download and upload speeds (needed for my new current addiction, Game of Thrones but more on that later). The Boy was also seduced by the promise of BT sport and in connection with our new Sky package being able to get this on the go and for free. It all sounded so good.............
Until
They came to install it and promptly said they couldn't there was a problem. That problem later turned out to that someone has fiddled with the phone lines in the green boxes at the end of the street and whilst our phone line was activated, someone else was merrily making phone calls to Lisbon and Lithuania at our expense. Nice one BT. They also failed to bring the equipment out to set up the broadband - urm WTF?
3 engineers later and we still don't have our own broadband. Our new neighbours have graciously allowed us to share their internet connect though I feel like some sort of digital vampire, slowly sucking the life out of their broadband with our million and one devices! Tends to be a bit of a issue when you work in social media, there's no off switch. I might as well marry my iphone - sometimes I spend more time tweeting, facebooking, whatsapping and snapchatting that I forgot to connect with people in the real world!
Having said that though, there's something to be loved about fantasy. More specifically, Game of Thrones.
I resisted watching it for so long - it seemed like something everyone jumped on the bandwagon about and I refused to conform to it. At the time, I was more than happy with my Marvel films coming out every 5 minutes. However, whilst on the aforementioned NY trip, I watched the first episode,.
And then the second one. And the third. I was lost. I was addicted. I downloaded the entire first season and watched it in less than a week. Virgin Media were not impressed when I said 90% of the reason I was leaving them was I'd become addicted to Game of Thrones and needed Sky Atlantic.
Sorry Sean Bean. Had too. I'm now nearly halfway through Season 2 and becoming more obsessed by the day. Well something has to fill the gap until The Hobbit Part Two!
Today whilst pottering around at work on Twitter (ah the perks of my job), I stumbled across this bad boy
Day. Made.
