25 Random Things

Posted in Personal on 23:29, 22nd Feb 09

It’s doing the rounds and I’ve finally given in; these circulars are silly but they’re also fun to review after a year or so, plus it helps you to get to know me a little better if you’ve merely popped by my blog rather than being an avid reader.

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you …read more »

Enchanted Day of the Snow +1

Snow Flakes on a Blue Gradient

In an unprecedented move Skadi, the Snowshoe, the Norse Goddess of Winter (and Hunting) has laid down 12cm (5 inches) of snow in the area, in particular about 15cm (8 inches) on my car. This has resulted in me having all my Work done for my Job today but not being able, or needed, to go in for more. So I’ve started the day doing all the little itty bitty tasks that could be done any time but more important things take president. This Snow day is extra or bonus time, which means that I can get my holey cow ideas done without negating anything else. As such I’ve published a Bucket List which I’m going to update from time to time when I achieve something, and quite likely post about it too!

Happy New Year!

Posted in Personal on 19:33, 2nd Jan 09

Two Thousand and eight has been a long slog, or at least it seemed long, perhaps because its the first year in the last 3 where I haven’t had a summer ‘holiday’. EuroJam happened in 2005, GlosCamp was 2006 and the …read more »

The second day without our Team Leader, all content that could go up went up by 2pm, so started on finishing the File and Directory view for the SSAGO Resources section. There are still a few bugs but I’ll tidy them up tomorrow if we finish as early again.

Sub-camp entrances, Canyon, Glacier, Tundra, Volcano

If anyone has ever had to experience “split shifts” they’ll know how frustrating they can be, up at 7am work half an 8 hour shift then do the other half at the end of the day. Essentially giving you a very long lunch and a very long day. Today was such a day for me, 7 till 11 in the AM and then the same hours int he PM. This had the benefit of opening up the entire day to browse Hylands Park and the bus loads …read more »

Who wants to Party?

Breakfast on the Island Sub-camp

After a thoroughly relaxing nights sleep I felt truly ready to take on this leviathan of a Jamboree. First port of call was breakfast, served by the horrendously bad Sedexo whom served at …read more »
