Hello peeps! I'm back! I've only been away for a few days (from my blog) but now I'm back! And I have a brand new topic to blog about all because I styled my hair last night. And I can tell you that my hair looks a bit like Sue's hair in the Restoration episode of 'The Supersizers Go...'.
And here's a clip of it which I just watched on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCfx98Ei5lM
Now for me, styling my hair is very rare. But when I do I feel almost like a different person. And it does make me look in the mirror more to admire my new look.
I just wanted to ask you guys if you have a favourite hair style. It could be from way way back, or it could be more modern. Or whether you've had any disasters with your hair.
Please leave a comment below, and tell me about your favourite hair style or worst hair disaster.
Thanks.

Pictures from my day out at a park.
As an additional blog post to the one I did on Friday, I'm now doing one showing you a few pics of my trip out, which happened on Thursday. Aren't I being generous here to you guys? You get to see things I saw. Anyway, I hope you like the shots I took.
Here's one of a rather beautiful flower that I saw in the park.
And here's one of that lovely omelette I told you about.
(It was a ham, cheese and tomato one.)
And here is my companion's pot of tea, and my cappuccino.
And here are some Innocent Smoothies with wooly hats on the tops of them. I suppose that very few people would take pictures of things in a supermarket, but come on, this is something you don't see everyday.
Well I bet you weren't expecting that last picture, were you?
Let me know what you think of my pics. Just comment below or tweet me. Thanks.

What I did on my day out.
So, today (well Thursday now), I went out for the first time in a while. And I managed to cram a lot in.
I got up before 9am! This is not like me. But I did have to be somewhere. But as soon as I'd been to the place I had to go to, I went shopping, and went walking in a local park - where I saw ducks, dogs, people, you know, things you'd usually see in a park - I also went to a cafe, and had an omelette (like they do in Gavin and Stacey) but not on its own, it had coleslaw, tomatoes (which I actually didn't like, only because they tasted sharp, and I don't really like fresh tomatoes on their own) and lettuce and rocket. I also had a cappuccino. It was as Stacey would say "lush".
The park was very large. I walked a couple of miles in it. It was nice to be out in the daytime, and it was also quite warm, for this time of year. It was very sunny, and I felt so happy to be outside, and breathing in the fresh air. It's been a while since I last went walking in a park.
As I was walking, (with my companion, who I've only just mentioned) I started to think about directions, like north, east, south, west. This then made me think of All Roads Lead Home and how Sue, Alison and Stephen were taught about how nature can tell you which direction is north, etc. Unfortunately, I can't remember how to work out directions using nature. I know it has something to do with trees, and buildings, like churches, and poo, and other things. That reminds me. I do remember one thing. The more moist side of animal poo is the north side, and the drier side is the south side. That I remember for a fact. Hurrah!
It had to be the poo fact, didn't it? How embarrassing.
Anyway, back to what I did on my day out. Oh, and there is, as it happens, a great story about poo, to do with when I was in the park, but I'm unsure whether to put it in my blog or not. Maybe not, as I've used the word poo far too many times in this blog post already.
But I'll do it anyway. There was a dog who went poo by the side of a river, and it was amongst lots of leaves, and the dog's owner couldn't find where the poo was. It was so funny to watch. I'm afraid the humour may be lacking in my retelling of the story. I guess what made it so funny, was the fact that the owner took so long to find the poo.
So, to now safely steer away from the topic of poo, I will tell you what happened in the cafe.
There was a poshy mother of two young children, who sat three tables to the left of me and my companion. They didn't stay for long, but they did come back twice. Both times to use the toilets. I thought this was really odd when I saw them do this. So did my companion. Anyway, after I'd eaten I filled out a sevice-rating card, and I gave the service an 8/10. A bit like when Giles does his restaurant reviews.
Then me and my companion did a bit more shopping, and then I got home on a crowded bus. I could barely get out. It was so awkward.
But it was a good day all round. I guess the one thing that today (Thursday) has taught me is that I should probably try and get out more.

The answers to my two quizzes.
Hello. As promised, in this blog post I shall be giving you the answers to my two quizzes which I put on my blog a few days ago. The first I got from an actual quiz which I did not make up, and the other which I did make up. And I shall also announce who won.
My first quiz - the answers:
1. a)
2. c)
3. a)
4. b)
5. a)
6. c)
7. a)
8. c)
9. b)
10. c)
11. c)
12. b)
And winner (out of the four people that took part) is... @EviesGran with a brilliant 9/12!
My second quiz - the answers:
1. a)
2. c)
3. c)
4. c)
5. b)
6. a)
7. b)
8. c)
9. c)
10. b)
Sadly, no-one properly took part in my second (made up) quiz, so no-one won.
If I ever do another made up or real quiz I hope more people will take part. I felt very optimistic at the start, when I first put the quizzes on my blog, but the fact that only a few people have done my quizzes has somewhat deflated me.

I am actually feeling more positive. Hooray! And, seeing as I've done this quiz and it has been lingering in the back of my mind to do a quiz on my blog, and because @LucyMGreenfield said I should do it, I'm going to put the quiz on my blog, and see if you lot can answer the questions.

I will say that I knew questions 3 and 11. Obviously because I watch a great deal of TV, and they both relate to comedians.

Staying positive, well, it's hard, but I'll try.
Lately I've been feeling out of sorts, not quite like myself. It's not easy to explain. But basically I've not been tweeting much, not been blogging once a week like I'd planned to, and it's got to change soon. I'm not my normal happy self. Maybe you guys have noticed this, seeing as this is the first blog post I've done in a while.
Anyway, this blog post is just to let you know how I'm feeling, and also to get it out of my system too. By the way, if you have any ideas of what I could blog about next, then I'd really like to know.
I really do want to keep positive and keep blogging.
