Well its almost 3 months since I joined the bloggers world and funnily enough Im stitting exactly where it all started in December at my parents house in Scotland. I guess that over the past few months Ive not had too much to write about but hey life hasnt changed too much. The biggest thing too have happened is the fact that I was selected for next years World Jamboree in Chelmsford, UK as a leader for one of the surrey groups that are going.
Not much has happened with that, Ive not spoken with the contingent leader but have spoken with the other assistant as he happens to live just up the road and whilst in the pub on Friday night one of my mates who is also going but in a different contingent has already had planning meetings with the olks that she is away with.
Think dinners ready better go.

Police problems
Already half way through my first week of my 2 weeks off work. Monday was spent on a 3 Hr hike it was perfect weather for walking dry but cool, needed a jacket thou as its still a bit nippy out there. Yesterday was fairly quiet did some stuff about the house.
Today I did some shopping for some new T-shirts etc. but didnt get much however when I got back to the car then thats when the problems of the day started. When I got into the car the keyfob wouldnt turn off the immobilisor, I thought that it may have been the battery but however this didnt change a thing. I then phoned a friend to pick me up so that I could get my spares again this didnt work. Eventually I had to phone the recovery company, likewise they couldnt see what had suddenly caused the problem. Then it clicked the carpark is righ next to the local police station and it turned out that the signal that they send out interferes with some of the car immobilisors. We got it started thankfully as I was dreading a bill for a couple of hundred pounds to get it fixed. Needless to say dont park your car near a police station, it may not get stolen but you might not be able to start it again yourself.

Holiday time
Well actually still got a couple of days to go!!!!
At last Ive decided that Im taking some leave, I decided about a month or two ago but its almost here at last. Yes as of Friday afternoon some time Im having two whole weeks away from work. The first week is kind of forced as the office is shut whilst they redo the air conditioning but Im still having to take time off as I dont fancy sitting in the libary reading books and papers and the second week is to be spent at my folks, not seen mum or my sister since Xmas so looking forward to that. Saw my dad at the weekend as he was in the area visiting his folks although he chose the wrong weekend to come down as I didnt see him much as I had a Scout hike on the Saturday followed by a mates birthday in the evening.
Dont know quite what to do for next week yet Monday night Ive got a meeting, then Ive got to be here on Friday and Sat before flying home on the Sunday. Therefore need to do something on the Tuesday throu Friday lunchtime. Was planning on doing some walking as havent been walking for ages (I was manning check points on Sat, the life of a leader!!!) but the weather looking a bit crap be it rain or some snow Im bound to get wet.
Any ideas what I could do???
