flat tyres and young love.

It was Mick's first day on the job today as a Train Examiner ( how fancy does that sound) . He isn't working on trains just yet, he is in training for a couple of weeks and if its anything like today it may possibly feel like the longest 2 weeks of his life. Last week mick picked up a nasty cold, not entirely sure how in this heat but it got progressively worse over the weekend so he wasn't off to a good start to begin with when just his luck.. this morning one of the tyres decided it didn't want to live anymore leaving him just 3 tyres and 1 rim to alter his route and detour to my parents house. With my parents out of town he was able to use their car instead of changing his tyre over at such an ungodly hour. disaster averted.

As for myself i was at home the majority of the day. I had an unexpected slumber party with my brothers.. they came over for dinner and never left, not that I'm complaining i enjoy their company. They left early and I was in the spare room, organising things when i came across my old phone. It was pretty hip in its hey day, the sexy motorola razr V3 in black.. that was until i jumped on the band wagon and got an amazing iPhone. It served me well, a good 4 years, back before instagram was ever invented or before you could pin straight to your pinterest from any room in the house (toilet included) and back when the coolest thing my phone allowed me to do was take a picture on the tiny screen at the front of the phone in all its 2 megapixel greatness. sick. I plugged it in to see if it worked and to my delight..IT DOES!  The best thing is,  it has all of my old photos, old videos and to mick's embarrassment messages i.e messages i received from him before we were married, when we were dating. It was lovely scrolling through, text after text.. the memories started flooding in. As i read it was like falling in love all over again. I hit the nostalgic mother load today. AWESOME.

nothing screams hipster like chipping nail polish -_-
