Monday 22nd - Mum's Birthday

Got up fairly late again. No real need to bust a gut at the moment due to conditions. The guys headed up, though my arm still hurts so I thought i'd leave it for today. Its Drum & Bass tonight at the Garage so i'm hoping that there will be a good turn out.

Its weird, my head is all over the place at the moment. Part of me thinks, why am I doing this. The only reason really in coming over was to Snowboard a lot. So far this hasn't happened and because Chalet papy breeds Colds and Virus better than a 2nd World War germ lab, I really don't feel in the mood to go out that much. The other part of me thinks I don't have to do anything other than go out and Snowboard, quit your bloody moaning.

I think if I hadn't been having such a bloody good time in London before I came away I may feel differently. The people here are lovely, friendly and well meaning, though they don't really know me. I guess this is one of the problems with joining a group that has already gone through the bonding stage. Maybe its because I am getting older, but I feel that I have such a great group of friends in the UK and a part of me thinks do I really need to go through the old University style mass meeting of people. I have been there and done that.

I received a birthday card from Jayne, Matt and Suz yesterday. It really cheered me up, especially with the reference to my hat obsession. For the record I have not bought a hat in over a month....

Also happy birthday mum....

Minor Injury 2, Maor Injury 0

Doctor reckons I have buggered the tendon in my arm (his words). May take up to 2 weeks, though he reckons I can board if I am sensible. He really knows me well.......

Went out to Cayote bar and shot some pool with Pete and Kelsey. Played pretty well for me. Even double the black in to win one of the games. Its a shame i'm shit when I play at work.

My Uncle then rang me up to say he was standing at Buddha bar and where was I. Buddha bar is above Cayote, so i popped up and said hi. We then carried on to the garage, which was kicking. Spent a good couple of hours meeting people and jumping around like a twat.

Walking home came across a group of people slap fighting. They were lousy so I recommended the reverse hand slap. One guy then jokingly slapped me. Game on.....

I blocked all his moves and was happily playing around. I saw my opportunity, spun round and smacked him in the face with the back of my hand followed by a short slap with my right. Victorious and slightly wary that I might have started a proper fight I bowed out.

Walked up the road with Pete and dodged some wankery english youths shouting football chants... Bunch of wankers. Who lived up to my estimation by smashing the window of one of the shops. We then wandered home and discussed the state of the world.

Oh yeah met and cool girl called Julie who wished me happy birthday unexpectedly and another girl called Bee who is sound. Said she was on a boy detox for a month and was a couple of weeks in. I said I would catch up with here in 20 days.... man i'm smooth......
