I think it would be fair to say this isn’t exactly getting my full attention.

So, things that have happened… Well, for starters I have finished working for Merrill Lynch. In fact I finished working there before the summer holidays, but we all know this is one of the most up-to-the-minuet blogs around.

I have therefore been having a summer off and getting ready for going back to Uni and moving down to Brighton.

Some parts of this summer have gone to plan, others have not. I made the mistake of saying I would do some work for the local YMCA (building a website) which has taken up a fair amount of my time (maybe a bit more than I wanted it to) and is still hanging over me and I’m struggling to find the motivation to finish it.

The main events for the summer were actually just summer camp and family holiday.

I went away as a leader again on the explorer scouts camp. Twas all good fun and I really enjoyed it. Made lots of friend and had a good time. would rather be there now to be honest.

I also went on a family holiday to La Rochelle in France. They all went for a couple of weeks, but I decided I couldn’t take two weeks of France again, so I booked some flights out there and back and did a week. Which was just long enough for me to miss home and the real world and the English language, but not too long as to be pointless.

The other week I also upgraded my computer in preparation for this year. Thought it would be fun and now means I can use all 3 monitors which is a big change. I have moved to a $core Intel, 4gig of RAM, dual graphics cards and then added another hard drive and a TV card. This bring me up to 1140GB of disk space and also meant I didn’t have to take my TV with me to Brighton….

So, moving on, next thing. Brighton…. I’m now here. I have been since yesterday, but my transition down here is far from complete. I have some stuff here, but I have a lot more at home still. Which is a good thing because I need to be home on and off for the next 3 weeks fulfilling various promises to people.

All going to plan this week I should be up in London on Thursday, Out in Horsham Thursday evening, getting my hair cut on Friday (yea, really helpful information here…) and then playing badminton in the evening. Then Saturday and Sunday I’m going camping on a scout leaders training camp, then Sunday evening doing SNYF (church group) and then back in Brighton on Monday I expect….
