Maybe this time...

Oops, six months huh? Oh dear. One day I'll be regular with this. Here come the dots...

  • Moved flats again. Upsides; Larger room, closer to town, fewer flatmates, double bed! Downsides; Car insurance is now stupid high, parking is rubbish. A new move may be in order once contract is up.
  • Lost job at Marlborough. Apparently teachers shouldn't confront misbehaving students, who knew. For the best. I wasn't enjoying it. Did a stint as day supply which was always interesting if a bit financially unstable. Now semi-permanent at Bushey Meads School. Also, government have finally accepted that yes, I am a qualified teacher. So that is good.
  • My adventures in the Goth scene continue thanks to my guides Russ and Maz. Attended two Antichrist events which were blurs of fascinating images and sound. Also been trying to be a regular at Inferno and hit Invocation this weekend. Two visits to Slimelight have left me somewhat disappointed, apparently not as good as it used to but still OK.
  • Taekwondo suffered a setback this month with a failed grading. Destruction with the off foot is not easy if you haven't had the chance to practise for three months. So, I have been kicking walls with my heel and stretching to ensure the next one goes without a hitch. But other than that, all good.
  • Began using the Paleo diet this month. No more breads, grains or cereals, severe reduction in sugars. Plenty of fresh meat, vegetables and nuts. Combined with an altered workout plan this has started to show some improvements, particularly in the back. Pull-ups are key to this. Go figure :P.
  • Travels. currently stalled due to finances. But key places to go before exfil are Scandinavia, Egypt, and maybe a few others. Maybe in summer, although I would rather do Scandinavia in winter to try and see the Northern lights and go dog-sledding.
Guess that is it for now. Easter break is imminent and have a LARP to help run during so should be busy. A with any luck I will remember to update this again. But don't hold your breath.
