Life changes

 

Hi Guys n Gals

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've had a change or two to my lifestyle.

Well one main change really - that being I've got a new office job in Halifax!  Won't say where for now but I'm enjoying it so far.

This means no sleeping in most of the day and now I'm up and out early.  I'm knackered, but getting used to it.

Hopefully soon I will start the gym too, and once I'm in a routine I can also plan in my reading and writing.

So reading wise, I'm behind and still reading Stormrider, which I hope to finish this weekend. I'm not sure about reading Mort now. I hope to read in my lunch in winter time.

Writing wise will be as and when I'm not tired as sat at a computer all day. Maybe on weekends.

I will also try to blog fairly regularly.

Well chat soon!

Free Guy. - Film Review

 Hi Folks

Took the daughter to see Free Guy, the new action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds.

Ryan stars as Guy whose life is one big routine, wakes up, dresses the same each day, goes to work at a bank with his security guard Buddy.

Whilst he is in his routine, chaos is happening all around the city.  It is only when he falls for a sunglasses wearer, Molotov girl, he decides he wants change.

He takes some sunglasses from a robber and finds his life view changed.  He is in a computer game and for all his life he has been a background character.

He eventually ends up helping Molotov girl, who in real life is trying to prove she is the real creator of the game and is trying to get original code which is hidden inside the game.

Overall  - this is a fun action film, with great performances from Reynolds and Taika Watiti as the bad programmer.  Some of the plot is predictable,  especially towards the end, but it is a good film if you like computer games like Grand Theft Auto.

Bel Score  -  7/10

My Score  -   8/10

August Quick Update!

Hi Folks

Just a brief update on what I've been up to, and what I hope to do in August.

Firstly I'm still job hunting but had my first face to face interview so fingers crossed.

It will be good practice anyway.

Reading - I should finish Stormrider by the fabulous David Gemmell by the end of the weekend.

Then I can start some Terry Pratchett!

Writing - started off ok, as I started a new short story for Costa Short Story competition.  Sadly after a few days my personal life took over and it came to a stand still.  I was going to try rush and finish the story a few days before the deadline, but realised it wouldn't be my best work so will finish it and send it next year.

Also it's my mum's 78th birthday in August so will be celebrating that.

Anyway hope you're all well and reading and writing.

See ya

Neil
