So I spent a lot of my birthday money on books. probably should not have as I now have an over loaded ‘To Read’ Shelf. Oh well.
Reading List
24th to 30th of July
I'm trying some different in how I post these. I will try to do a weeks worth of question. Part of this is my laziness but mainly it generates loads of tags so weights way in their favour. 
July the Eleventh
Which reminds me I need to call me mum.
June the Twenty Third
Well that could have gone better.
So my hope of getting a blog up today took a turn for the worst with DNS issue. It stopped the CSS working on my website and made me unable to access the admin of my WordPress site.
Thanks to the help of Kosta D from TSOhost it has been fixed.
But I has stopped my writing flow. Which is annoying.
Heres hoping no more issues.

So let’s test
I have moved to a new webhost. There should be no change for anybody reading it but I have had a bit of a strain getting it up and running.
I will say that my new host Tsohost has been fantastic. Both Dave who helped with a website file issue and Rossy C who sorted out my website migration were brilliant.
I’m going to try cobble together a post for tomorrow.
So if you are seeing this that means everything is working.
Which is good.

Well now I need a new host.
So I have prevaricating and procrastinating about which web host to move my website to but now I have had the decision taken out of my hands.
I still have a issue when I upload my pictures to here. And when I was looking into a new host I found that the Renewal for my current host will be in august and they require thirty days notice or they will charge to full amount.
So my procrastination will have to stop.
I am going to go with Tsohost to start with. Whilst searching I came across Krystal Hosting as well and they seem very good.
But this does mean that I will have to sort out and there might be down time. Not that I think many people will notice. I notice and that is the point.
I will up when there is more news.
TWSBI 580 Red
So I bought a new pen.
I wanted to buy a Vintage Big Red Duofold by Parker. But that is £450 which is a lot for a pen. Not Montblanc range but close.
So as compromise with my wife I decided to buy a TWSBI steel medium nibbed 580 as it had good reviews. And it really is very good.
I ordered it from Pure Pens my favourite online pen retailer cause they have a very good line in Noodler’s Ink which is one of my favourites.
Was very quick delivery and they even threw in a nice treat for me.
Got my self a TWSBI red 580 which is sadly not available any more but you can still get the clear version.
The box it comes in is very good.
Under stated brown box with TWSBI logo.
Pen in it box. It did not come with ink.
Really easy to get it out.
Comes with wrench to take apart and oil to lubricate.
Box, Pena and instructions.
The instructions are really good as well.
I also got a Two Noodlers inks. A lovely red and a pretty sweet black.
Twsbi Instagram feed. It has some really nice shots.
I am particularly looking forward to the bamboo one.

Bad New Everybody
I can always tell how long I have been away from my blog by how many plugins need updating.
Well I’ll start with the bad news.
My favourite coffee shop is closing down. Nothing to do with not making money but because the office block it is part of needs the space for showers and cycle storage1. Which is a bummer.
But there is also good news.
I have finally started writing again. I was being super productive and trying to use most of my time.
And it made me go mental. I just couldn’t relax without worrying I was wasting my time. I got so pent up with it. The stress was effecting my writing and my full time job that pays for my bills.
But after having relaxation forced upon me (I have been off from my full time work due to sickness) I was watching to shows I had started not finished. I was idly writing idea for stories and the pressure had gone away and I was not stress as I was before.
I need to worry less about not using the most of my time. And take time to make sure I relax.
Website Update
Well I tried adding the Goodreads widget to the side bar of the website.
And it stopped me from uploading pictures.
Soooo. No Goodread Widgets for me. I have no idea why it will not work and have no access to the server to find out. Possibly a memory with connections to the Goodreads server. But instead I will just link to my Goodreads page so anyone who is interest can just go to the Goodreads directly.
