I think its time to have a bit of a news-worthy items update. I mentioned a few days ago that I didn’t really live at home, I just slept there. Yesterday I realised that when I next have a evening in (which will be in about a week at the earliest) I will have been out each evening for over 3 weeks straight!

Saturday was spent shopping in Brighton with Jen. This was a lot of fun but it did involve the absolute madness of the busy shops. We had to queue in one of them for about 15 mins just to pay. As per usual whenever I goto Brighton the travelling is a real pain. We had to get a replacement bus because they were not running the trains between ThreeBridges and Brighton. That actually worked quite well on the way down, it wasn’t quite as handy on the way back. Just as were nearing Crawley on the way back the bus went up a bit of a hill, stalled and then wouldn’t start. So we sat around on the top floor for a while while another bus was sent. So we all pilled from one to the other. It was a bit late for tea, but not late enough for me to care.

Sunday was church in the morning followed by more time at church. You see we were decorating the youthclub room (in what can only be described as lilac (i didn’t pick)). So we cleared out the room first, then had lunch, then afterwards moved onto painting and suchlike. One rather fun thing was we going to do siloets of people in odd posses on one wall. To do this what we did was set-up some paper on the floor, have people lie-down and then they were drawn round to make their template. I did one in what I would like to call the “splat” pose. I shall put some photos of this whole even in my gallery soon. One I left there at about 6:30pm I went home for tea and then went back out with Jen just afterwards. No idea what we did but I’m sure it was fun…

Monday was not such a great day because it was Granddads funeral. I will leave that at that.

Yesterday was spent working, and then playing badminton with Jen (who is really rather good. Especially since she hasn’t played for several years). Worth also mentioning that she did 70 sit-ups in one go (after about half and hours badminton) which is also really good. I don’t want to talk about the rest of that evening….

So now that leaves me up-to-date with one last honourable mention. Yesterday I finally got an umbrella which is pretty essential in this country when commuting. The cool thing about mine is not only does the button on it make it pop open, it also closes it by itself! Trust me, its cool. For all the doubters or curious, ask me next time you see me. You will understand….
