News Update

The past day has been quite hectic here in the UK. London came close to seeing 2 terror bombs go off in the centre of the City. Today this has been followed up by a attack on Glasgow's International Airport. None of the family have been in either area that I know of, and therefore are all safe and well.

Busy life

Well once again it has been a while since I last added a post to this. Why? Im not quite sure Ive been fairly busy with things. The Jamboree is still taking over much of my life and there is now less than a month until I go and there is still quite a bit to do before we all depart.

Life here as I say has been fairly busy, work is ticking over as normal with some late finishes and some slightly quieter days like today. Socially Im up to the same old stuff, Scouting takes up a huge part of my life at the moment mainly with the Jamboree but also with my Scout section. Last weekend we spent a rather wet weekend camping at one of the local campsites a great weekend was had by all. Our catering team did a fantastic job topped up with cups of tea and juice whilest feeding 110 people for evening meal on the Saturday.

Romance is manageing to creap in to the fray as well which is quite nice although Andrea live 200 miles away so we tend to chat over the phone or computer rather than seeing each other but things are quite good and Im off up to Manchester to see her for a few days so that will be quite good, then Ill see her at the Jamboree for 2 weeks also as she is one of the other Jamboree Leaders too.

As for the flat Ive now been in there for 4 months and not too much has changed, the DVD players speakers are still lying on the floor waiting to go on the wall, boxes still need to be sorted and emptied. However give it another couple of months and with the Jamboree out of the way Ill be able to ouch up the paint in the bathroom (which I have done) and start doing those DIY jobs that I keep meaning to do.
