Winds of change

I think I deserve a proper pat on the back and a hearty “well done” for the effort I put into keeping this blog fresh and up-to-date with interesting and informative content…. And pigs fly and I live in a house made of pink butter and the world is flat and overrun with 7 foot lizards….

I have a plan…. I think I might change the way I do my blog…. I’m considering putting it fully on my website and then getting anyone who cares to add it as a feed to their journals… Still making it really simple to comment etc… And then to go with that change I was considering forcing myself to write on it all the time… Then because there won’t be anything interesting to update with I will have more time to write real content, musings and other pointlessness… You never know… My plan might work. Well, as I finish work in about a month I should have more time at least.

So, as we are on the old style of blogs… Update:

Last weekend (bank holiday) I was camping with the explorer scouts. Not without purpose mind you. This year is the scouting centenary (celebrating 100 years). Our district decided a big camp for the weekend was in order with a concert on the Sunday evening. So guess which nut they asked to organise, setup and run sound, lighting and power for this “concert in a tent on a field”…. You have one guess… Suffice to say I ended up semi running it in my own special way (those who have helped me with these types of events will know exactly what I’m talking about). It went off without issue and actually (to my great relief) ended up being really very good (even with the rain on the outside causing “issues”).

Ah, bugger, already screwed up chronological order… The Saturday before the concert was my 21st birthday. Suffice to say nothing really very interesting happened on it, but then again, I was pretty happy with that. I had to wait until the Monday evening though for my presents…

So ok, Monday I came back from camp and got my presents. I’m not going to list them all as it was loads and loads of little thing in recognition of me moving into the house in Brighton, but the main things were some money to put towards the new Digital SLR I plan on buying tomorrow (camera for those who find TLAs a bit complicated) and a driving day thing at Goodwood that involves instructor training in an Alfa, then some laps in a Ferrari etc. So I’m very much looking forward to that.

Tuesday was a pub quiz with various people from church… I think we came forth…. Although to be honest I can’t remember… It turns out my best round by a very long way was the weekly news… Meh

Yesterday (so Thursday) as there was no explorers on account of it being half-term so I went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3 with Joiners and Paddy. Very good film, as usual not what the critics had said (oh that makes a change, although story was a bit fragmented on account of them trying to achieve quite a lot in a relativity short time…. Well, I say short… 3 hours really isn’t that short actually.

So that pretty much brings us up-to-date… perhaps I shall start posting things of value soon…. There goes that pig again….
