The Queens Diamond Jubilee

So its the Queens diamond jubilee this weekend, whoop-de-doo. The whole country seems to have gone Royalty and The Queen mad, well except for here in the House of Jim, where no bunting is fluttering in the wind, no red, white and blue cupcakes have been baked or bought and no Union jacks can be found. We are a Jubilee free zone.

Way back in ancient times (Just before colour TV was invented) people would say Wish we had a colour TV that you could tell how honourable and good the countries rulers were by the happiness of their subjects and the economic health of the country. With that in mind and the economic recession we are in, going into a double dip, I would think it is safe to say that our rulers are a bit rubbish.

My wife is of the same ilk when it comes to the Royal family, well, with the exception of the Prince`s William and Harry who "seem" to be more caring and open than the rest of the Royals, saying that though they were born from a caring woman. With any luck they will continue to follow in their Mothers ways and not be effected by their Fathers genes.

As for the Bank holiday we have been granted, well thanks a bunch Queeny but it means nothing to me as my kids are off school anyway for their half term holidays and I am out of work at the moment so the bank holiday is just another day for me.

Anywho, I will be spending the Jubilee weekend and bank holiday doing everything I possibly can to avoid the celebrations on the TV and anywhere else for that matter. 

Re-Spawning My Personal Blog

Once again I have separated my personal posts from my not so personal how I see the world posts. Since I started video blogging it felt like Its Jims just didn't flow as I seemed to jump from talking about the dog and my kids to ranting about size zero models and other "World according to me" type posts.

So in an attempt to get some kind of synchronism on my blog I have took all my personal "The dog did this" type posts and dumped them all here on my all new and shiny "personal blog" where I can just ramble on about me related stuff without a worry. Needless to say I made a video where I tell everyone on YouTube, DaMo and Its Jims the why`s and the wherefores.

I don't plan to worry too much about stats and getting visitors here as I plan to use this place as a journal of sorts where I ramble on about stuff that is happening to me or is going to happen to me. I will probably make some posts about the posts I make on Its Jims as well as YouTube and DailyMotion.

For now though I am going to click on the publish button, get another brandy and carry on looking for the Time Lost Proto drake. So as I seem to have started saying in my vlogs "Thats about it for now, Later dudes".

Its Jims.com is Changing.

Killing Noscere

When I first started blogging all those years ago I chose the user name Noscere and used that as my sub-domain name on WordPress. Later I bought the domain Nosceres World and so it continued.

The thing is every time I told someone what my blogs address was I always ended up having to spell out Noscere or even writing it down for them so they wouldn't forget the word which is one of the reasons I changed my blogs address to Its Jim's a while back, so much easier for people to remember don't you think? For the past few month I have been using Nosceres World as a place to post my gardening adventures but with one thing or another I have not managed to spend much time in the garden or my allotment so Nosceres World has ended up kind of neglected while I get on with the other things that needed doing.

Earlier today I cancelled the Nosceres World Domain name with immediate effect and then moved on to delete the blog that Nosceres World was pointing to, by doing this I have effectively killed Noscere, is effectively the right word?

I have to admit killing off my alter ego Noscere is a sad moment for me but at the same time I do think it was the best thing to do. 

Gone To The Vets

Had to go to the vets last night. You will be happy to know that I am OK but one of my dogs isn't too well at the moment. he started to bleed from his back end on Saturday so we took him to see the vet. after a prod around we were told to bring him back in a couple of days for more tests which we did yesterday. 

After some blood tests and lots of questions about his eating and pooping habits we were told that it looks like his kidneys are starting to fail him. I guess it is to be expected at his age, we have had him now for about 15 years and spends most of his time sleeping, just like one of the other dogs we have who spends even more time sleeping, only waking to eat, go out for a wee and poo then it back to sleep.
