Inspired by Pippin

Today's blip is inspired by Peepin Pippin. I caught this cheeky monkey staring at me while I was eating my lunch. I can't stand people watching me eat, watching other people eat etc.. So he was swiftly moved on as he is a person.. not a dog, of course! into the living room to pounce on my brother.

We were all glued to the tennis today to support Mr Andy Murray. I thought it was a BRILLIANT game... Shame he didn't win but, I think Roger Federer deserved to win... Andy will have his day at Wimbledon in the future! He sure made a mature response after the match. He did himself and Scotland proud!

I did win £65.00 for predicting 6-4 in the first set as well as £14.25 for predicting it would go to 4 matches though!! Happy days... (I blame K, she works in William Hill and introduced me to gambling!! - Paid off this time :) )

I have a cracking headache... Bleugh...
Brain is playing tricks on me, not in a great place... :(

I finally completed changing my mobile/email/facebook and blocked the c*&p out of my ex's. (See last few blips) I now know that all of the contact details they have for me are invalid. If you phone my old mobile no it says invalid number. It's a relief knowing they are totally cut off. Sure as well wasn't an easy process. I also deleted all 3,340 photographs off of my iPhone which they stared in a few... They are stored on a harddrive now, don't panic. It means the past is fully in the past or stored away anyway!

I'm in the middle of sorting out a lot of boxes back at my parents house. Which isn't a nice process. I wish I knew what was in each box so I could just fling it out without having to look through it all. Some of it makes me feel sick. Good things it's not the nice memories I'm remembering as that would be worse. I know once the process is over I will be in a better place but boy oh boy... It's not nice.

Thanks to BlipFoto for understanding and allowing me 7 days to edit any previous blips I liked. I explained the situation I was put in the other night and that I would like BlipFoto to be a positive process if I was to ever look back through it in years to come I wanted to take out direct names and reword a few things. I feel it was the right thing to do. It's made me see how much BlipFoto has helped me process things for the last 3 months so thank you to those of you who follow my blips.

Here's to the future. Whatever it may hold. xxx

For Myself, Boo.... (and Andy Murray!)

Don't quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow-
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
