Naughty Boy

Aston's Day:

Well  today was resit day for my Toxicology exam.  I really can't comment on how I thought it went, we'll just have to wait and see.  Not only that but Rio scared the life out of my grandparents today and to make matters even worse I think I may have accidently driven through a red light on the way home.

Rio's Day:

Well what can I say about Rio's day.  My nan picked him up as she sometimes does and took him over to her garden like she always does.  After a while she wonders where Rio is .  Rio at this moment is dancing with cars on the fast road on the other side of the field next to the garden.  He has never ever gone this far from the garden before.  Luckily a car stopped before flattening Rio and a little boy jumped out and tried to pick up Rio.  By this time my Grandad was running across the field calling for Rio to get back here and jumping over the fence trying to catch the little bugger before the boy got hold of him.  Luckily he ran back into the field after my nan threw a stone into it and he was scooped up and put on his lead tied to the table.  It's so sad as now I won't be able to let him off because we can't trust him to not do it again.  I don't know how many times i've said you should never chase them because they think it's a game just run in the opposite direction and they'll usually chase you.  A close call and I have had words and he knows how angry we all are at him.  Hopefully he's learnt his lesson and will never do it again.

V.E.T.S today

Aston's Day:

Well we're off to the vets (don't tell Rio) for his boosters.  Nah Rio loves the vet lady.  She spoilt him rotten when he had his cherries removed.  It's motorbike night on the quay later and my little brother is coming to stay.  Also got to do some revision for my exam resit on Thursday and somehow write a quiz for my Grandads RMA group.  It's going to be a busy couple of days.

Rio's Day:

Well Rio's had a pretty rough day.  First he was jabbed in the neck for his booster jabs.  Then he was tricked into eating his worming tablet because I pretended it was a treat.  I feel quite terrible as while trimming Rio's claws as I got to his last claw which happened to be the dewclaw he wriggled.  Now my poor pooch is nursing a flour packed dewclaw.  I've promised him I won't ever do it again.

Rio Is Away Over The Summer.

Hey guys, Thanks for tuning into the live feed. We're off to Devon for the next 6-7 weeks so there's no point in having it on. Hopefully have it up and running again when we return in September or maybe I'll see if I can set it up in Devon. My housemates will be relieved they can start patrolling around in the nude again ;) Ciao xXx

What a day.

Aston's Day:

I can't believe what happened to me on my walk with Rio today.  Some people are rude but what do you call a person that throws a loaf of bread at you?  Seriously.  Admittedly she probably wasn't expecting me to be walking my dog there but still look before you throw.  Not only that but there was a snide comment of "I bet that dogs going to shit here".  Did she honestly think that I wouldn't clean up after my dog if he had gone on the grassy public area.  Didn't look like this was the first food item to take a trip out her front door either.  

Rio's Day: 

Well Rio's pretty proud of himself.  On his walk he managed to wolf down a chicken/turkey sandwich which had obviously been chucked out of this women's door at an earlier date.  It was pretty disgusting.  But dogs will be dogs and he will eat anything if he can find it.  Because Rio had enjoyed a nasty sandwich he didn't eat his dinner.  Naughty.  He also had a bath today.  He loves baths.  Well he's crashed out in bed now so i'm guessing the sandwich went down well.

Ciao xXx

2nd year over.

I could not be happier right now.  Just had my last exam of the year and can spend the summer relaxing  with Rio.  Oh wait I have work :'(  and a dissertation to start. Oh well nice while the feeling lasted.


Rio is feeling a bit tired.  Just dragged him out for a nice long walk.  Soon as we got in his head was down and he was asleep.  Yeah try sitting 4 exams Rio.....


Well here's to a long summer of sun. I hope :)


Ciao xXx

What a week!

Aston:

I cannot wait for tomorrow lunchtime.  Last exam tomorrow morning(Forensic Science).  Basically it's going to be about a lot of chemicals and instruments used for measuring chemicals and possibly some weird compounds.  Happy days.  Still Alton Towers on Thursday and Friday not a bad finish to the week to celebrate the end of exams.  

Rio:

Rio's going to get very spoilt over the next couple of days too because he's going to stay with my nan.  Doubt he'll want to come back home.

17th May 2012

Aston's Day:

Feel like absolute crap today.  It is impossible revising when you have such a bad headache. On the upside this is what I learn today:

There are 3 phases to cellular respiration,  Glycolysis, The citric cycle(krebs cycle) and the electron transport train.  Glycolysis which occurs in the matrix of a mitochondria turns glucose into 2 pyruvates.  2 ATP and 2 NADH2 are produced.  These then go into the krebs cycle.  Which uses the 2 ATP and makes 4.  So we are a net gain of 2.  Double this for the 2 pyruvates and you get 4 ATP. 

All I know is I better have a question on cellular respiration or I am doomed.

Rio's Day:

Rio woke up and decided I wasn't allowed a lie in today so kindly sprung around on my face until I got up and took him out.  Then did a bit of sleeping and chewing on his massive bone which we bought him.  Took him out for a lovely long walk today.  Of course it started raining as soon as we left the flat but he was going out regardless.  We got home and Rio thought it would be funny if he could dig out some lucozade energy tablets.  Luckily I think he only managed to eat half of one before I found him out.  We then both crashed out for a couple of hours.

Really hoping this exam goes well tomorrow.

Wish me luck 

Ciao xXx

Let's Get This Thing Started.

So I figured I should start posting in this thing.

Aston's Day:

Well today was stressful.  First of my four exams (Crime Scene).  By far the easiest of the subjects I am taking this year but still very stressful.  I guess I would have felt more confident if I had done more revision on the subject instead of just looking up case studies, which i'm glad I did because they really came in handy for the essay question.  That may have saved me.  I won't bore you with the rest of today as it has been mainly for revision for Biochemistry on Friday, *sigh*  the hardest and least favourite of my subjects.

Rio's Day:  

Well I can't really tell you what Rio got up to this morning.  I think the boyfriend took him on a lovely long walk where he played with a lovely boxer puppy.  He's so much more well behaved with the boyfriend then when I take him out.  I guess he's just being very protective.  Whatever Jon has done to him works because Rio has been crashed out asleep all day.  I've been able to revise in peace!

Well that is all for today.  I will let you all know how Friday turns out (if I survive the dreaded test that is).

Ciao xXx

The beginning....

Well.... I started a blog.  That is all.... for the moment.
