What's changed in over 6 months...loads really!

Well, it's been a while since I wrote anything in my Blog. There are *loads* of people in the world who slavishly maintain their blogs, and I'm not one of them.

Still I thought it was time to finally add a bit more to this, so what's happened in six months?

• The single biggest thing that has happened to me is I had laser eye surgery to correct my eye-sight and it worked out wonderfully. Now I can see extremely well with both eyes, better than 20/20 in the right and just under 20/20 in the left. I can wear shades, swimming goggles, snorkling is much more fun, I don't steam up coming in from the cold, I don't get rain spots on glasses any more, I can play sport without the fear of having my glasses smashed, I've no worries about being out and losing / crushing my glasses etc. To cut a long story short it as changed my life and I wish I'd done it sooner.
  
• I put weight on, sold my old bike for a fiver, bought a better bike, got mad in cycling, weight is coming off.
• Put the house on the market, didn't sell, wasted £400 on a HIP, house is now off the market and were extending instead.
• Got better at tuning and driving my beloved R/C models, now I can consistently beat 12 year old into the ground - eat my dust - yes!
• Got well into cooking and Jamie Oliver in general, make my own fresh pasta, eggy chilli crumptets, roast dinners - I don't do dough though.
• Met loads of people on Facebook whom I haven't seen or heard from in ages, and in particular, one very special person who I have been trying to find for ages
• We fought with the help of the union and got a significant pay rise - always a good thing!
• Still not smoking and very proud of it!
  

There is probably other stuff which has happened which escapes me right now, but this place is more for my benefit than anyone else's really - a sort of digital diary where I can keep a vague record of my life.

And whilst no blog entry would be complete without some sort of multimedia experience, here's me and my mate Jon taking the piss out of rock crawling R/C freaks.



Peace, out!
