Weekend - Another Site Update

Well its the week-end and I have done another website update. Firstly I woke up and watched a bit of National Geographic. Then went online and did, well, not much really. I checked the weather (10 C), warm but windy. I went to Dave's house at about 2 PM, I got the bus because he was working. Anyway lets just skip to the update, I have translated the entire website into French and you can find that here: www.jack-bromby.com/Francais it took me about an hour to do but I also had some help from my friend in Beauvais, Oise, France. Also the clocks are going forward tonight at 1 AM, then we enter the British Summer Time (BST), also means I get an hour less in bed. Oh well, summer will officially be here soon, then the hot weather will come and I can get the Flymo out and mow the lawn, just like before:

Wednesday - Site Updated

Well my site is finally updated. My friend who manages the domain worked on it last night for 4 hours. It looks brilliant. New banner, new layout I just love it. Anyway I woke up at 6:30 AM again, watched The Simpsons at 7:00-8:00 and got dressed during the commercials. Went to school, and showed off my new website in ICT (Period 3) lol. I stayed back after school for the revision classes, today was History and topic was about Germany, just before Hitler came to power. I came home and met someone called Lewis at about 6:30 PM, on time. He is someone who I will be hanging out with soon, some activities we have planned are bowling (ten pin), cinema, Life Center in Newcastle, etc etc. He is a volunteer for The Children's Society. Anyway, I will be hanging out with him soon. Now I am just updating the blog and being excited about my new website.

Website Update - Coming Soon

Today I woke up at 4:30 AM, got a drink and went back to sleep and woke at 6:30 AM. I layed in bed till 7:00 AM, then got up and watched The Simpsons. I had breakfast during the first commercial break, got dressed for school during the second commercial break and then just watched the rest of The Simpsons. I went to school but left early at 10:30 AM because someone came round the house to talk to me. They were just asking me questions about home life, school life etc. It went well and I got back to school at about 12:10 PM. During lunch time I finished off my Vietnam assignment for History. I stayed back after school for the after-school revision classes. Today was Geography and the topic was coasts. I hate living on an island :( .... After the revision classes I went to The Main Project (social club) over in Ingleby Barwick. I returned home at 7:00 PM and finished off my new website. I have now emailed that to my friend for final preperation and it should be up and running any time soon. Anyway keep checking the site for the update.

Weekend

On Friday night I went to TGI Friday's and had a burger and chips, left there just after 20:00. I went to the bowling alley with my Dad, Dawn and other members of the family. we had reservations for 22:20 but got in for about 20:30. When I got home at 22:10 I went straight to sleep. On Saturday I woke up and discovered it was raining and we had someone (Marty) in doing the kitchen, putting new cupboards in etc etc. The kitchen should be done soon. Dave was at work in Newcastle so I didn't go to his house until about 16:00. He was going out with Dawn and her friends on Saturday night so I had the house to myself. Sunday morning I woke up, logged on and updated my blog and I am listening to 93.1 Heart FM from Thessaloniki, Greece. Lastly, heres some pictures of my houses on Google Street View. Btw I am currently working on a website update. First is Mum's house, second is Dad's.

Bon Week-End!

Well Saturday is here. I know I haven't updated in a while and for that I am sorry. Today I woke up at 9:00 because we are getting the kitchen (at mum's house) all redecorated. The plasteres (is that spelt right?) came at about 9:30 AM. I watched TV, but brushed teeth and got dressed before they came. I went to Dave's just after 12PM and we went to the large Tesco Extra over in Norton Village. It is a big store, 2 floors and its open 24/7. I bought a HDMI cable while I was there for my XBox360 as I wasn't getting any audio using the standard HD cables. I tested them out and they work perfectly. I just hung out for most of the day listening to music and messing around on Google Street View. Weather wasn't too bad, didn't rain and it wasn't cold but tomorrow we are getting alot of rain which is coming over from Spain and France. Well thats awesome, I can't wait :( Dave and Dawn went out at 7 PM to a bar because a band was playing. I moved the furniture a bit in my room, I moved the TV from the South wall to the North East corner. After I had moved it I wasn't getting any reception on cable TV. I don't understand why it went but I had to do a rescan, and I wasn't getting any signal. Turned out I had it plugged into "ANT" instead of "RF IN". I thought ANT meant Antenna? Oh well I don't know. After I plugged it back in correctly I got a good signal but still no channels. I did about 3 re-scans to get them back. Turned out I was on the wrong symbol rate. Anyway everything is back now as you can see in these photos. Also the TV looks better in this position. Yes, the channel on was ESPN.

Thursday's Update

Okay well I woke up and put Sky News on for a bit, had my breakfast and watched some YouTube videos. I can't remember what time it was but me, Dave, Dawn, Libby (Dawn's niece) and Dawn's mum all went out to Hartlepool. We went to Wilkinsons to get some home supplies, then had our lunch, then went to Focus to get paint. When we came back I watched more videos and Dave painted the kitchen and it is now finished. Here are some pictures at the end of this post. Also while we were out we purchased a shoe cupboard for the porch. Theres a picture of that too. Thats all for now. Its 9:21 PM and Dave is currently listening to a conference about Ebbsfleet on BBC Radio Kent. They might be going bust, now that would be a shame. Hopefully it will finish after 10 PM so I can listen to Alan Robson's Night Owls in the car on the way home. Tomorrow I am going out to Alnwick in Northumberland, I am going to be visiting the castle. Parts of the Harry Potter movies were filmed in Alnwick Castle so you can expect pictures here after my visit. I am also going up to Gateshead on Saturday because Ebbsfleet are playing. I thought they were going bust. Oh well, whatever. Heres are the pictures, as I previously indicated. For larger versions, click on the image.
