I'll Give You "Lumpy."

Inspired by Sarah and Taz I have decided that I shall resurrect this blog for the purposes of archiving my pointless drivel once again. Hooray! It's been over a month!

I think there's just too much to summarise, to be honest. Bought a bike, shot one an event with over 950 cadets on parade, had a major diplomatic incident, finally got a new phone, had a couple of parties, took my GCSE exams and escaped death no fewer than eight times.

But, summer has begun. And I'm loving it, especially as the others are back at school this week. I'm enjoying lie-ins until 11 ish even more. Then breakfast, a pleasant cycle and the rest of the afternoon to do with what I please. Exxxxcelent, Monty Burns-style.

Wimbledon was good this year, and The World Cup also happened in the time I've been off line. Not much to say, I think! Useless donkeys. In contrast, DI had a successful couple of months, being hard pushed to get a team out a couple of times. And we had our Annual General Meeting, which [rather predictably] quickly became an Annual General Chat. Point is, we're not disbanding. For now.

We've worked so much in the past few weeks that Kenneth has been locked away in his flightcase in the hope that I won't take any more pictures for a little while - let's see how long that lasts! Joseph was so tired at a cricket match we covered, yesterday. Bless him, dead on his feet!

I had a lovely weekend with Dearest Taran. I helped with tech for his annual gymnastics display - which I pointed out was basically glorified dancing and was therefore lured there under false pretences. I spent the rehearsal complaining that I didn't have a desk on which to put our various bits of watered-down sound kit. He was a good girl and found me a desk, and after a quick bit of rewiring we got some Owl City on and had a sandwich.

The show went okay - there was the inevitable cock-up, but that wasn't our fault. If we'd been told the right song, I'd have loaded the right CD. The eyes of every gymnast, every coach and every single member of the audience fell upon me. IT WASN'T MY FAULT OKAY?

Afterwards we de-rigged in record time, bought a new inner-tube for my bike and boarded the lovely 84 back to Broughton. I walked home, fitted the inner-tube, had a swift jam sandwich and headed back to Lutterworth, to Taz's. We'd been invited to the afterparty, and willingly obliged. Change of shirt and we had a lovely evening with Katie and Nick...well I dad, Taz just got abused.

I've pretty much slept since.

Although I did rather enjoy a trip to Leire today, to see Sarah. I murdered the back of my leg on my crank, I may never walk properly again, but it was a very pleasant evening with a well-loved friend who I very nearly lost through my own stupidity. Very nearly spoiled, although I think we're beyond that.

And I've returned to Channel Four showing soft/medium porn in the interest in boosting ratings with the excuse of "Education."

So yeah - I'm back, bitches. Now, to add some more pertinent labels...

The Tale of The Week

Hullo.

Firstly an apology - there have been no posts this week. This has been entirely down to the fact that I am now back to the daily grind at Lutterworth. So here, I'll sum up basically what happened during this week...

Monday - Fiona came early, fell asleep in my bed. Visited Thomas Estley to look at light/sound boards for MASOD Show in Feb. Piece of piss. Seeing Michelle Saturday to sort out technical details. Fell off bike on Swannington Road. Saw the film "Nine". It wasn't much to write home about.

Tuesday - Back school. Mediocre day, nice to see everyone again. Double Mulla. Snow starts to fall. Abi's birthday. Got slapped.

Wednesday - Take camera to school and take snowy pictures during registration. Very cold. Snow is starting to cause trouble. Pass chemistry test at B without revision - high mark compared to class.

Thursday - Snow continues. Ice starts to form - big boots on. Spend the morning learning French Controlled coursework. Fail French coursework. Mrs S in good mood - scary. Big fight between chavs and Indians - resembling 80s Bradford. Received correct course code from Leicester College. Croft Players rehearsal moved to pub - enough thespians to go ahead with show. Very happy. Followed by poor signing as Vicky forgot lyric sheets.

Friday - Perks [rightly] outraged by race riots. Bans snowballing. Effective punishment - not been hit by ice all day. Gave Abi her birthday present from the Emerald Isle. Wore six layers at one point. Failed at Badminton. Mrs S still in relatively nice mood - Codd disagrees. Snow continues to fall as Britain is rendered useless by powdery white stuff. Talk of grit running out. Methinks snowday on Monday. Spent the last four hours drinking wine and photoshopping the Croft Silver Band pictures.

Not a good week, but not a bad one....
