Hmmm, A Blog Eh!

My word, I forgot that I even had this thing going!

In faact, looking at it it seems like a forgot last summer! To be fair not long after my last post I went away travelling, and I had lots of things to do when I got back. For those of you who don't know, I went away to travel around the world for 3 1/2 months. I went with my friend Dan, and we travelled across America, over to Hawaii, onto New Zealand and Oz, and finishing in Hong Kong. I have added a little widget to the sidebar that shows some of the photos I uploaded onto Flickr while I was away. The photos stop rather abruptly in Byron Bay, since that was the last chance I had to upload any photos before my camera got nicked in Hong Kong!

Anyway, the travelling was fantastic, and if I could do it again I would in a second! In fact, I now harbour dreams of moving to Melbourne in Oz to work, although this plan is on hold while I wait for a knee operation and work out how to make money!

So, what have I been up to since I arrived home? Not a great deal really, especially in comparison to the months before! I did a bit of temp work in the run up to Christmas, mainly so that I could afford presents and going out with friends. I had a quiet Christmas, and spent New Years at a friends house having a few bevvies!

Since then I have been temping at Siemens Magnets near Oxford. The job isn't exactly taxing and I have had large periods of time when I have done nothing but watch films and TV programs on my Creative Zen! But it is money and I can't complain at that, especially since it is the highest temp wages I have had.

Apart from work I have had my weekends consumed with hockey! When I'm not playing on a Saturday, I'm out with other players on a Saturday night, and then either coaching or watching Hockey on Sunday! It is enjoyable, although I am looking forward to the time where I can just relax for an entire weekend!

I have also been enjoying socialising with my friends again. Although Nelly and Dan are up in Loughborough now, and various other friends are spread across various parts of the UK, I have been enjoying the company of Ems and Drew quite often (when I'm not working lates). We have spent copius amounts of time in the White Hart recently, and it is fast becoming my favourite place for a drink. This past Saturday Drew and I spent the afternoon in there, watching the England - Scotland game on the big TV's, followed by the 2nd half of the Arsenal - Middlesborough game. Then on Sunday evening we again ventured inside, and had a game of Scrabble whilst waiting for Ems! And as if this wasn't good enough, the bar staff even turned Top Gear on for us! Gotta love that!

So after the glory of the White Hart, I went back to Ems' to watch the Superbowl This mainly involved both of us falling asleep, although I somehow managed to see most of the game!

Right, think I will leave it there. Been of work today since had a migrane that was causing me to throw up last night. Hoping it doesn't happen again tonight!

I may write up some random stories from travelling if I remember any while I'm at my computer. If not, then tough!

Much Love
