Been a while

OK for whatever reason i has been a wee (little) while since I appear to have posted a message but hey life has been a bit busy over this side of the pond. I currently have quite a good tan. No Ive not been away anywhere on holiday Ive just had the cahnce to sit in all the sun that we have been having over the past couple of months. I even have managed to fit in a couple of DRY camps.

This last week I beat the extra security checks and have headed back to scotland to see the family and some of the friends taht I still have here. And true to form the weather has been a bit funny, tonight it is absolutely pouring with rain, something similar happened at the weekend in the SE of England causing flash floods although it was needed. We are supposed to be having a family BBQ this evening (Friday as it is now 1am) however if this rain keeps up dad will be out cooking the food on whatever wet wood that he can find.

Well Guess I should give a brief summery of what Ive been up to over the past few weeks or so, so here goes:

well firstly the weather has cooled down just a touch and it is no longer in excess of 30C (indoors) at 11pm which is quite nice. All of my meetings have stopped for the summer as we are all here and there which also give me a bit of breathing space. I have however been trying to raise funds for my contingent next year by putting together a line of clothing to sell to people to raise funds for both myself and the 39 others that are going.

As for my footbal we finished 3rd in the summer league and won our first round cup match on Monday night, Ive gone on holiday so have left the boys to it for this week coming so hopefully they can do well enough!

spent a day at the British Beer Festival a few weeks ago and tried a few beers, I usually drink lagers so beers weer a bit of a change, even if most of what I drank were golden in colour.

Last weekend however as spent drinking free TEA (Traditional English Ale) from one of the local brewerys at a party my friend threw in the wake of them getting married in June, giving them two receptions but they will only do it the once so im sure it is allowed, whats more it kept the family and friends apart!!

Best be off its bed time
