So, been a bit of an Internet recluse these past few months for a variety of reasons that incorporates XBOX LIVE and a busy time at work but am off on holiday this week so am taking the opportunity to revisit my Blog and try and be more proactivewith it! With that in mind, I have also decided, for this week only, to try and use my Twitter account a little more than I might have done in the past to Tweet everything that I get up to. For those of you who don't follow me there (sparkymarky1973) but do follow my Blog either on Facebook or at Blogger.com, I have decided to simultaeneously post my Tweets on here. So be prepared for a few random Blog posts, some mundane observations on life in general and a complete Blog overdrive as I flood these pages with the intimate details of my experiences this week!
Tweet @ 10:27 am ~ Is it wrong that on the first day of my holiday, I have so far acheived absolutely nowt?

National Sparky's stay home vacation: day five
Not done much last couple of days but have got the majority of Mrs.Sparky's list crossed off! Been nice relaxing and not having to worry about anything and am dreading going back to work! Not going to think about that right now yet though as still have a few days to go yet!!
Me and Emilie have been out for a long walk yesterday when I went to get my hair cut ~ it takes an hour to walk into town and back again ~and the day before we spent some time in the play area over the road from us which has a small slide and some swings. All very nice and relaxing and whilst there is plenty more that I wanted to get done this week, still it has been nice just not doing a lot! Yesterday we got the paddling pool out and Emilie had a little play in that though most of her time was spent emptying the pool with her bucket and trying to soak daddy. It is a good thing yesterday was a scorching hot, humid day because the water splashed at me from the paddling pool cooled me down. But I did end up rather wet!!
Finished John Connolly's The Lovers in the early hours of Wednesday morning ~ it was one of those books you just could not put down. I love the whole dark macabreness of the story arc that runs through these books and the whole idea of fallen angels walking amongst us is a fascinating and interesting one that goes a long way to explaining some of the evil people in this world! It is also rather scary and thinking about it sends shivers down my spine. But John Connolly is, without question, my favourite thriller writer and it is just a shame that he will be taking another break from Charlie Parker for his next novel. Apparently the next Parker novel, The Whisperers, is due out next year and I for one cannot wait!
Started reading Dead Until Dark yesterday by Charlaine Harris but was less than impressed and gave up before the end. It was a very chick-lit kind-of book that was like some kind of horror-lite and was chock full of lovey-dovey vampire-human sex scenes that made me want to hurl. It comes under the guise of a new genre, Paranormal Romance, which is kind of like mills n boon but with supernatural elements added to the mix! Thought I would give it a go as it has just been made into a successful American series, True Blood, but after reading Let The Right One In, this was a bitter disappointment for a vampire novel and not very thrilling at all. Have instead started The Handbag And Wellies Yoga Club which is chick-lit through and through but which I got free from a Facebook group, "I want a free book every month". It is all about a top city slicker who exchanges her busy life-style for a more refined life in Norfolk which, as some of you may know, is my home! It is quite amusing to see an outsiders point of view of Norfolk and to recognise all of the villages she mentions. It's not laugh out loud funny but it is very well written and a pleasant enough and easy read which I will soon get through....
Yesterday Twitter went down after an attack on it by hackers. What was funny was the amount off people who began fretting because they could not get on it! Facebook was full of people who were stresing because they could not get the Tweet fix for the day. Honestly what did people do before Twitter? Oh yes, they actually had to talk to each other face-to-face or on the phone rather than typing regular updates on their day such as "just about to go to loo, hope it's an easier experience than last time!" That's not a real Tweet I have read by the way but one I have made up but you can bet your ass that someone has Tweeted that at some stage!!
We have kept getting updates through from the Breckland Freecycle group lately by E-mail even though the only interest we have ever showed in the siote was months ago so why we have suddenly started getting updates I don't know. The idea on Freecycle of course being that people offer their tat on there for free so other people can come to collect it and that others can make requests of stuff they are looking for. Mrs.Sparky has cancelled the updates now but will take a few days to go through. It is quite amusing though the cheek of some people and what they ask for... one guy wanted some paint for a paint pod as he had bought the pod but could not afford anything to go into it. Another asked for some life jackets so he and his family could go canoeing. Oh and some paddles if anyone had them. And a canoe! We are thinking of going on there and asking for a bigger house?!!?? I did post the other day that I would be intertested in picking up any old books if anybody had some hanging around...thought I could flog them or put them on Bookmooch or something but surprise surprise, no replies as yet.... I wonder if any of the "Wanted" requests get any replies?
Bookmooch is a bit like RISI for those who don't know, but instead of swapping for books, members post their lists of unwanted books then get points for any books they send which they can then redeem for books on other people's lists. It means that instead of having to pick something off other people's swap-lists or risk causing offence by turning them down, you can store points until you see something you really want or until one of the books on your wishlist becomes available. I only listed my RISI books on there yesterday but got two requests almost straight away. Thats a good start as I could do woith getting rid of some of my books without the fear of getting more back in their place especially as my TBR stash is getting ridiculously massive!
Well thats all for now, more updates soon... Sparky :)

Quick Blog....
Had a dream last night that I worked with Marco Pierre White ~ woke up thinking "actually that Marco's alright really..." and a bit confuddled, as you can be upon waking, what was dream and what was reality...makes a change from dreaming about work! Been Twittering a bit last couple of weeks ~ find myself using it like a mini-Blog and thought rather than keep writing essays, why don't I just Blog little bits on here more often instead of big chunks once every six weeks?
Here a few of my random tweets completely out of all context....
"I measured @sparkymarky1973's e-Penis on http://www.epenis.nl/ and his e-Penis is 11.7cm! ~ hmm well thats certainly reasonable rofl :)"
"why does being a parent suddenly make you much more critical of other parents?"
"hmm mustard coloured poo- what does her mum feed her when i'm not here?"
"very quiet here so far 2day...guess I'll have to just keep tweeting myself + thats not an euphenism.."
"oh yummy- took the scab off my burnt arm in bath this morning....thinking maybe i should post a picture.....or NOT!"
"just got home~drove back listening to classic fm and gorging on bertie bassett's finest! Who says i'm not cultured?"
"note to self- shut patio doors when raining!"
"like the Lego chainsaw massacre or something...very scary!"
"sparkymarky1973 thinks "what the frack has it got to do with you what I'm bleedin' doing snouty!" Spelled it right that time!!"
For those not in the know, yes Twitter is just like Facebook Status but without all the social networking, applications or fun! But I have had one of my comments re-tweeted by Jason Manford the comedian (when a person posts your comment for all their followerrs to read and attributes it to you) so that's pretty cool!
