h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You should have said, you could have come round and done mine for me

Ours is all done now, we had to do two coats of paint in the end, and we have just done the living room ceiling today it was looking more or a grey than that white it is supposed to be! The whole house stinks for paint now.

Hope you took plenty of te breaks

Are you planning on showing your visitor around the sites?

hi

i finished the room about 1pm, then put the carpet back down, moved a doublebed in the room,
and setup my spare combi tv/video
-
i had to run my loft ariel through the ceiling lol

-
the kids use the pc mainly jim xx

You have been busy!

We just got my son a new bed and had fun putting that up it all seemed to be going well utill we figured out there were 2 different kinds of screws for it and ended up taking what we had put up apart again, and starting over we got it done it the end though, and also re-arranged his furniture so he has more room to walk around, however he's probably to busy on playing his xbox though to notice he has the extra room

Hope you're enjoying the weekend with your visitorx

hi
-
it started cold and yuck this morning, then about two hours ago it got better and better.
-
its so warm here now, i had to get off the bus on the way home, 4 stops back, it was like being trapped in a sauna lol.
-
its bad enough with older ones like me, but with kids as well coming back from school. phew.
-
had a few hours at the cyber, writing my next story for offering, ive one in three parts still to be in an issue, ive called them, jims story page, when the first one is out lol im a sci-fi person, so the first two will be o the theme of space jim xx

It's been really warm here as well for a few days, but it's more like winter again today lol! It's very foggy and freezing but at least we got sun, even if only for a while lol!

I'll look forward to seeing your story when it's finished. I quilte like SCI FI stuff.

Have a good weekend

hi
-
i was half expecting the first one to be in the post this time, but not as yet.
-
im not a writer, as in the written word, caps and things get me lost, the actual story comes in the head, and i go with it.
-
if you have read any ive added to the post, about 5 so far is on the personal life.
-
so i decided to see what would happen if i did a three part, over three issues, as(jims story page) the first two are sci-fi, but not sure where the others will end up. lol
-
you wont find the new ones on my space, i have them in another account, with no link to them.
-
its been cold and frosty, with a lingering fog this morning.
-
im going to the library in half hour, to do a search of births from 1979 to 1983. for someone.
-
im hoping i (DONT)find anything, or it will put the cat among the pidgeons, sort of. lol
-
take care jimbob(my friends and sunday name) xx

Hi there

Are you doing the research for a family tree or something like that, for someone?

Was it interesting what you found out? lol! <Being nosey!

hi
-
ive done hundreds of family and war searches at the library in the last 10 yrs at least.
-
i had two to do one i didnt want a result, and didnt get one, or it could have split a family.
-
the other was more a person
-
joseph richardson born in the 1800.s he as been showing up in the bradford trade directory at least 5 times, as being a portrait painter landscape painter, and later on as a teacher of dance.
-
the person im helping is hoping he did someone famous, but nothing in the library that gives me anything to look for, but ive found he did have a studio in manchester, so might branch that way.
-
on saturday i was looking in the burials on the library disc for someone that died in 1923 sept, but looks like she was buried, so could be cremation.that means search in parish records on saturday.it keeps me busy lol jim xx

opps "wasnt" buried lol

hi
-
i was sent an email this morning to say my stories wont be used in the post, they arnt of the quality needed, and there are a few sci-fi ones already.
-
never had good schooling, bad grammer, but i can find and write about anything, just not bits like commars, and things,
-
if you want to read the one i finished in three parts, i can add the a numbers to the next message. jim

Hi that's a shame, you should get someone to maybe go through your stories and add the commas and stuff for you? I wouldn't worry about that too much though, if you enjoy writing that is the main thing

Yeah, I would like to read the ones you have finished

I just got back yesterday we have been away to stay with my hubby's family in Manchester, we went down on good friday and stayed for a few days. We don't get to see them that often so it was good.

this is the one ive done for now
-
A49699291
-
its a kind of docu story of what could happen at first contact.
-
the post didnt want it unless it was more polished.
-
the second i still have the main bit to do, its a twist to that one.
-
for nearly a week ive had cold, then flue, i should have stayed in, but i like my hours at the cyber pc.
-
when i first left home in 1967, i lived in a small place called weaste, just pasted salford for 3 yrs, and i was born in warrington,and lived in the pit village at the time, golborne.in lancashire,about a mile from the haydock race course.
-
take care jim xx

just marking to keep it on your space jim xx

Thanks for the link I enjoyed reading it It's really well thought out, I also quite like the idea of aliens not just coming to destroy everything unlike in most sci fi stories lol, well done!

I hope you're over your flu now, you really should stay in if your not feeling well. But I hope you're better now. It's a lovely sunny day here today so I'm off out to enjoy it while I can take care x
