Time passes so quickly

Wow. Almost a full year without updates! It has been an interesting year. I've been doing this and that in terms of jobs (cycling instructor, barman, layabout, cycle mechanic), and living here and there in terms of housing (Mums, Dads, Nans, Steve and Loris, Kats, Jules', a tent). I've met a girl, bought a car, seen friends get engaged, or pregnant, or married, and watched the business that gave me my first job collapse under the pressure of the current economy. I've visited a new country (Scotland), got drunk while dressed as a pirate (for charity!), got a new tattoo, stayed in a hotel, walked barefoot on the moor, swam in the sea in my underwear (on New Years day). I have made myself and friends from Lego, raced bath-tubs on the open sea (also for charity), been to a roller disco, seen a Zombie walk, seen a hat with a woolly beard attached, and been photographed for a magazine.

All in all I have done quite a few new things, quite a few old things, some expected things, some unexpected things, some things I'd hoped for, and some I'm still hopeful for. I want to show you some pictures of some of the best things from this year. (Feel free to add your own captions if you think you can better mine)


Kat and I on a very wet tour bus in London on my birthday.

Me being excited/happy about something on the London trip.

I am renowned for being really tall. Look how tall I am next to this bus.

Kat was very excited to find an animal at the County Show that she isn't allergic to!

"What do you mean there is no Tequila left?!" "Dude, you drank so much Tequila you have grown a sombrero on your head!"

Kat and I at our friend Jess' wedding. The man in the top right corner amuses me.

The picture that got taken of me for a magazine. I have no idea if it ever got printed or not.

(Left to right) Me, Bassett, and Jade made of Lego.

I saw a lot of these signs on the Sussex downs. I can only speculate at what situation caused their requirement.

Bassett models one of the finest Beard Hats I have ever seen.

Told you I was tall. Look at me next to a Hummer in London!

One of the less drunk group pictures from Loris "Come as you were as a teenager" birthday party.

Jade and Bassett with everyone's friend Pikachu at Loris party.

Kat, Jules, and Jade again with Pikachu.

A picture of me from one of the years early Burlesque evenings where I sold things from a stall. Which was interesting.

Me with Kats Family in Scotland on Christmas Day.

Pirate Day Pub Crawl!

One from after the Bath-tub race

The after race "warm down" talk....

Kat and I at Kirstys Birthday party.

Some of these pictures were stolen completely without permission, mostly from facebook (gutted for them). And the rest were taken by me. Some great times here in these pictures. There were more that I dont have pictures for, and there were a host of bad times too. But we will leave them alone.
