catch-up

Morning.

Bit of a catch up I think

Last weekend was fake xmas, My sister and her fiance the mighty mighty Wez came up on the Friday just missing Steve and Kara by a couple of hours. It was great to hang out with Steve and Kara for a bit, they're good friends who we never really get the chance to see but with that kind of relationship you know its good when you can just slip back into a conversation that you started 3 years ago. It great to have those kind of relationships and I feel very privileged to have that with a few people.

Jane and Wez were knackered after driving up from London so it was time for bed and then Saturday over to mums house for xmas dinner followed by Wez teaching us the intricacies of texas-hold-em poker. Even my mum really got involved in the rounds of bluffing and better (for chips not for actual dosh).

Sunday Wez, Em and I had 18 holes on tiger woods *ITS GOOD* on the wii. I wonder why anyone would buy any other version? You hold the remote like a club, swing in the same way and its sensitive enough that if you hook your shot in real life you'll hook it here. Its a great chill out game, as long as you don't take your golf tooooooooo seriously. Lets face it, its the only way I'd ever be able to play on the old course at st Andrews.

Quite busy at work at the moment thanks to a backdated pay award from April, which basically means every calculation on pay done to date needs revising. Keeping me employed anyways.

Had a cracking game of footie on tues, five or six people came up to me after the game to tell me how well I'd played, which is a first in my book. I'm never picked last for the teams anymore, which I think is the biggest complement anyone could ever pay me. Oh yeah and the wind was unbelievable. it was blowing the ball all over the shop so it made for a frenetic unpredictable game. Which was cool. And its great to keep up with old friends from my previous work. When you met people that you have an easy uncomplicated rapport with you should hold on to that for as long as you can.

Last night was badminton and Will came along for the first time which was great, I was pleased at how well he fitted in. His kamikaze style of badminton is always good to watch and I think playing against some of the better player at the club he'll just get better and better. He told me hes writing a story which sounds really good I can't wait to see what he comes up with.


Today is Mild Mayhem day. People are coming over for pictionary, rude word scrabble, poker and pizza. Or basically just to hang out... which is something I adore.

Oh and the picture is from this site Rap represented in graphical format. It pretty funny... even if you know nothing about rap!

peace out home slice!!
