Oh and I went to see Chris and John in the Lakes too!

The time is a very peaceful and calm 22:49 and I am sat, in my seat, in the front room typing the weekly news, to future moi (and God knows who else) on the newly downloaded (yes that was downloaded-naughty torrented piece of software!) ‘Microsoft Word 2008.’ I have to report; on perhaps the briefest and worst review of software ever-although I am aware of sinfully dull YouTube reviews-that it is really good, and therefore mildly better than Pages from Apple. I assume this is due to the fact that Word is older and therefore more refined? Perhaps, or maybe I am wrong and Pages is better. I certainly like more the streamlined OS (if that’s the right terminology) from Pages and it’s ease of use. Who knows? Not I. Who cares? Yup, me neither.

Now I move over to Pages ’08. Ah yes, to be at home with Apple is far nicer. I’ll stop this weird shit now.

This week, the highlight has probably been the Wimbledon final (Rodger in record-breakingly long amounts of time won) and sadly, albeit a few weeks past now, the death of the King of Pop (or as the founder of Motown named him: “the greatest entertainer in the world”) Either way, he was undeniably a genius and features in my latest attempt to save money, Granny Paula’s CD/DVD! Soon, I’m sure, it will appear in fragmented YouTube links. Meh.

Finally, as they cart me away, I have one more thing to document. We (that’s the DofE group) put on a race night last night and it was rather profitable. I enjoyed it and the funds raised shall be announced in email after my lakes rendezvous avec mon oncle et tante.

Au Revoir et Bon, Bon Soir...

See you on Sunday for the post

[OVER-RIDE THIS FOR THE NEW POST]

Fanfare for the common people, it appears I made a post!

With 1 hour and 5 minutes left of saturday, I made the post. Granted a week and a half after the last, but who cares?

I hope, on a simple side note that you like the new layout/template.

So what's coming up on this random factual dribble? Leavers, Lakes and L-ouse MD (had to make the new Sky 1 show start with 'L')

So, other than the return of Chris to England for Sedburgh and other endeavors with friends and a guilty conscience, the greatest news to report is Danny's: "Prom"... although Prom's are usually in America and for 18 year-old. And you're allowed a date. We drank, sang and leisurly spoke late into the night at the lovely Haigh Hall. I wore a suit from Slaters Mens Ware, Preston with a plum dickie-bow. So yeah, fun and memories for all.

What else? We went to assess the Silver's in their walking trip to the Lakes at the weekend past and I did a great and hard walk over 2 days including a new, more dangerous and rocky way up Blencathra. Overall the nearly 30KM and Blencathra were fun, little team morale builders. But there was a serious issue, Hayfever. I couldn't breathe, talk, sleep nor enjoy camp (or our apparently brilliant BBQ-Will can't cook!) When I awoke in the morning I had swollen eyes and a dreadfully dry throat. A severe reaction and rash on my arms too. The meds and cream did little and I wasn't impressed. What was the key issue for me? The worst fear? The fear that Gozo will carry similar pollen. I don't need to spell out to you what that'll mean!

Oh and I am utterly and completely obsessed with House MD, the programme, not the guy. Enough said, now nap-time.

Evening...
