Sweet Dreams! (Or not...)

Oh Hai Hai Hai Hai....

Isn't this weather lovelyyyyyyy.
No.
It was for the first three days.
I don't deal well with the heat, so the last couple of weeks have been tough (oh woe is me!)
It would be okay if I tanned and went a deep golden brown...but I don't, I go more like a shiny piece of shrimp. Attractive levels on HIGH right there.
Saying that the sunny weather was a positive as Me, Dad, Liz, Cameron and Jordan went on our annual loon family holiday, twas very nice indeed, definitely helped by the weather.
We went to Newquay which is very beachy and towny and nice, so the hot weather was perfect. We all ended up slightly sunburnt at some point or another throughout the holiday...
Jordan in particular had terrible burn on his back, lying on his front on the beach he was advised by yours truly to put cream on, however with his reply of "I don't need any...I'm like IRON MAN." the poor little mite(!) got very burnt. Even Iron man could melt in that heat!
It was a very nice week and made a nice change not to get caught in rain at any point at all throughout the week, good old english weather!

Completely changing the subject now...
In many a blog, I have written about my night terrors, how throughout the years I have freaked out many a family membe or friend with my crying out, shouting, screaming and general sleep-weirdness - however since we moved out of bed-bug-house, I have not had any at all and assumed that my sleep was now settled due to the fact I am a serene and peaceful human being....
On the App store the other night I found an App, It cost 69p, I don't normally like paying for apps...however I read up on this one and it had really good reviews.
It's called Sleep Talker and it runs throughout the night, however it only picks up and records when it detects a loud noise or lots of movement, then in the morning you can listen back to the recordings, without having to listen through 8 hours of sleep waiting for something interesting to happen....
Seriously you guys should try it, it's so interesting!
Anyway, I set it up by my  bed and fell asleep, thinking that I would wake up to a couple of recordings of a bit of mumbling and talking and not much else. How wrong I was.
Playing it back I now apologise for all the times that I have just laughed my friends off in the morning, when they have tried to explain just how freaky my sleep talking is.

There was squealing and a strangled, panicked cry of "Dad!"
There was a bit of whimpering and "What's going on?!"
There was some mumbling that I didn't even understand...
and the weirdest one...Whimpering and crying, followed by a simple statement of "Mine literally arrived as I reached my first corner...." and a chuckle. As if I was just having a conversation with someone at work...not that I do that at work, have the time to talk I mean....!
AHEM ANYWAY SO....
I played some of the clips to my mumma and to my Katie at work, both of whom have had plenty of experiences of my sleep weirdness and decided to do it again last night...

I had less recordings this time and many were just heavy breathing...
However yet again there was another cry of "What's going on?!"
And the weirdo one of the night....a load of mumbling and whimpering followed by..."You crazy??" - even said in the same low, silly voice I always use when I say it in real life...
Truly bizarre.
I do not know what goes on with my brain, but it's some weird crazy mofo shiz!

However I am going to keep track of recordings every night, and what with that and my experiences of it to talk about and put into a context - I now have an idea for my third year solo piece.
I think the word is: BOOM!!

Loves and Sweet dreams!
xx

Can I just say also I think the fact that Wills and Kate and their whole baby story is lovely. I think they are a lovely couple, I love the royal family, I love how everyone comes together in celebration of our country when something big happens with them, and I think everyone moaning about them can bore off.
So there!
