The Kids Are Back In School!

Posted on : 03-09-2010 | By : Blazing Minds | In : Weather

Well the kids have gone back to school and the summer holidays are now over, but, funnily enough, the weather which has been not bad, has now decided to get better!

Yes it seems to be that the weather has been waiting for the “summer” holidays to finish before the sun shines in it’s glory and the rain goes away and the heat rises.

Strange that the seasons seem to be a month or so out at the moment with the good weather always coming a month after it used to.

So could the cause be global warming or a shift in the Earth’s axis, which I believe happens sometimes. I’ve also heard that the Chile quake could of even shortened a day and a slight wobble to the Earth’s axis, could things like this be affecting our seasons!

Anywho! I’ll be making the most of this gorgeous weather by spending a little bit more time in the back garden ;)

Holy Crap It’ll Be Christmas Soon!

Posted on : 01-09-2010 | By : Blazing Minds | In : General, Humour

The year seems to be flying by at the moment and it’s hard to think that in about four months it will be CHRISTMAS!

Yes folks, that time of year will be on us again when we go around like headless chickens trying to grab that last Christmas bargain for Aunt Flo, or that bottle of after shave for Uncle Bill and all at knock down prices, preferably because we forget to get them stuff earlier in the year :lol:

But is it me, or does Christmas seem to be coming around quicker each year, must be an age thing ;)

So when do you start buying your Christmas presents is it earlier in the year or are you a last minute shopper?

How’s that for a bank holiday?

Posted on : 31-08-2010 | By : Blazing Minds | In : Weather

It usually goes hand in hand that on a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK we are sure to get wind and rain, it’s just a case of an absolute crappy weekend of weather.

But this weekend we’ve had some great weather, more so today (Monday).

Saturday wasn’t too bad, Sunday was warm but quite windy, but today it’s been lovely, not too hot and not too cold.

It’s been so nice that we have had a chance to have a good family walk up to the park to let the kids let of some steam and then a nice lazy walk around the local market just to get out in the fresh air.

Now if only every UK Bank Holiday was as nice as this one ;)

Have You Ever Wondered!?

Posted on : 15-08-2010 | By : Blazing Minds | In : Humour

Oh yes, you better believe it! I have so much time on my hands I had to come up with this post.

Seriously I was sitting down the other day and this post came in to my mind, but then I brushed it away in to that trash can at the corner of my mind.

But there is nothing better than recycling something, so it was pulled from the trash and reared it’s mind boggling head in to this strange blog post.

So here we go, wait for it, keep an open mind, ready, GO…..

Have Your Ever Wondered ..

…why we have five fingers and five toes?
…why grass is green and the sky is blue?
…why chickens are actually quite brave!?
…why bills always come just when you saved up to buy something?
…why the world isn’t banana shaped!?
…why your phones battery always dies on your most important call!?

Ok that’s it enough craziness for today ;)

Are We Alone?

Posted on : 14-08-2010 | By : Blazing Minds | In : Thought For The Day

A short post today, but a pondering none the less.

Has it ever crossed your mind that those that do say that there is no possibility of life on other planets are usually the ones that believe that a being from another plain of existence has rule over everything that is created and watched upon from above the clouds! You know what I’m on about ;)

Hmmm. Makes you think doesn’t it, isn’t it a bit ironic that they can believe in that, but not believe that there i life on other planets, surely we are not alone, in all the systems there is surely something out there….

The Weather! What Gives?

Posted on : 11-08-2010 | By : Blazing Minds | In : Weather

So this is British summertime!

Back in June we had about two weeks of amazing weather, with scorching sun and a chance to get that summertime tan, then it went down hill slightly, along came July a few good days on and off.

But now it’s just gone mad! It’s sunny in the morning and then but about 11am it turns and we end up with rain, what happened to that gorgeous summer we had when I was a child.

Along came the summer holidays and it was out in the back garden into the inflatable swimming pool, splashing about in the lovely warm sun, stopping after for a while to have sandwiches in the shade, followed by some very tasty ice-cream.

Now kids have the fun of looking out the window at the terrible weather and annoying their parents.

Oh British Summertime from the past, we miss you!
