| THE BEST PICTURE I HAVE EVER TAKEN OF MY DOG! |
And its June already! EEEEEEEK
But yeah, what a quick month, its gone by in a flash! Looking back its gone past that fast I cant really remember what I have been up too!
Its been a pretty good, especially because we have had our first signs of summer, first bbqs of the year and first sunburn of the year :) Work has finally picked up and looking towards the summer months its going to be manic! Which will be good, giving me chance to do some overtime and keep my mind busy to take my thoughts away from being far from home and missing friends and family!
Also a few big weekends coming up too with friends over and another weekend in London!
So what have I actually done, well what seems to be becoming a monthly thing I took a trip to London on the first bank holiday. My brother had organised an event as part of his university course in which people would meet up for a
midnight tour of London. Named "Past Your Bedtime" the event would take a tour of the famous sites of London in the middle of the night, experiencing new sights and sounds away from all the hustle and bustle of commuters and tourists! Not only that, you feel like you are on a movie/film set in the streets of London at night!
He also added a few little tasks on the way, some things you would never expect to do in London! So the tasks included a balloon game in Trafalgar Square, an egg and spoon race on the Millennium Bridge, a Frisbee match in front of the Tate Museum and a midnight Boris Bike down South Bank. It was really great and I urge other to try out similar events. For more info check here:
It was a really good night and can tell some crazy stories about egg and spoon races across the Millennium bridge! Of which I lost completely after dropping my egg at the very start and (being hardboiled) dropped straight off the side of the bridge! FAIL!
The bank holiday just gone saw my parents, brother and dog come over! Which I had been waiting ages for. It was sooo nice to see my family and I was sad to see them go. It went really quick but we had a great time in the sun! Drinking from the coastal pubs and bars by the sea, I felt like I was on holiday!!
Oh and also me and my brother dared each other to go on this!
I have never been on a ride like this but woweee it was so good! Tho spinning around with a few pints of alcohol may not have been a great thing :)
The amazing weather has come with some epic storms, I have seen a few here but across the UK there have been some crazy thunderstorms...
The week just gone I have completed a first aid at work course, courtesy of St Johns Ambulance. So now I am fully first aid trained and also am trained on Defibrillators! Though it was three days long it was actually really interesting and I feel quite confident now if I come across anyone who is in need of aid. I never knew there could be so many side effects of low blood sugar and all the different types of injuries and what to prioritise on! I also noticed that the people of East Anglia sound a little Australian!
Somehow haha.
I have also had to make a statement to the police just moments ago after an attempted break in earlier in the month! Which was very worrying when I was asleep upstairs!
So what else has been happening this month
Katy Perry has a very catchy new song out that I cant get out of my head!
Another good song I am liking at the moment is this one by
Foster The People, fresh off the press!
I talked about Coldplay a lot last month, but they are very busy at the moment! So I still need to mention their newest song with the help of none other than Avicii!
A sky full of stars
After months of excitement I finally got to see Godzilla! Was it worth the wait??? Hmmm well it wasn't as good as I thought it might have been.
**SPOILERS**
I grew up loving the 1998 Godzilla that rampaged through New York, though that one got slated by the hardcore fans of previous Godzillas (when it was men in suits.) But the 1998 big G had more of a believable storyline, if a story about a massive lizard can be believable! It didn't eat nuclear bombs like the new one and it was more of an oversized wild animal rather than a rampaging monster. I mean it was good, the fight scenes were epic but I was disappointed that we didn't see Godzilla till over 30 minutes of the way through and the numerous scenes seemed to be cut out. The whole fight scene was just kicking off in Hawaii, with Godzilla finally arriving, next thing you know its over and on the news and they're on the way to mainland USA!
The storyline was a little poor killing off the main character early in the film leaving us with a main character which hardly said anything and a reunion of his family which lacked the emotional build up. How some of those nuclear bombs didn't explode when they were dropped by the monsters I don't know! But the final fight scene made up with the clear connection to the old films, similar shots, similar music etc.
There was a few similarities with the 1998 film which I noticed, including the title sequence in which showed the same footage at times of nuclear explosions decades ago! Though the storyline was different, 1998 said Godzilla was made from nuclear explosions though 2014 said they were trying to kill Godzilla! There was a few other points too, there was both nests in each film in which they had to find and destroy (though different monsters') and then the monster returns to find their offspring killed and comes close to the culprit face to face! There was definitely some similarities!
I enjoyed it, but I prefer 1998 Godzilla film. Missing out fights in Hawaii and destroying Vegas very briefly I just wanted more! A lot of the best scenes were in the trailer.
But no matter what the reviews a second one has been commissioned!
So that sums up this month really! A very quick month with signs of summer and epic adventures!
Expect a blog soon on the weather since the start of the year!
Come back next month :)
