On an exercise every other week in the build up to Afghan next Spring. Time is moving fast.

Got an offer from a reasonably well seated German EBM band to do some vocals for them. Really hoping this works out. I need to do something proactive with music. I feel a 15 year slump needs a push to end.

Rock. How's yous?

Quiet here at the moment.

So much work.
It's hard to take...

"Hey, build us a mountain. Here's a molehill, three weeks and a 50 pence piece. And you're coming with us for a week. OK? Oh, and I nearly forgot; fail and we'll sack you."

I've never had a job I've been good at.

After three weeks leave I've finished one song. That's what kids'll do to ya.

Hope you like it.

It's been 20 years that are gone for ever and I'll never have again. well...

Thanks Axl.

And I'd like to thank God and the little Baby Jesus and My family and God and Mother Nature and God.

So I'm back in camp after an awesome time in Calgary. Thank you first to Atrasties who was there to meet me. I could have been a massive jerk so I thank you for taking the risk. And sorry you had to find out I'm a massive jerk.

Just stepped off the pirarie after a month of dust, baked beans and cordite. A bit confused and sun-burnt still but getting my head together.

Got 'promoted' from controlling the Artillery pieces to recce. That means the next fire mission I call down will be in Afghan. O crap.

Anyway, once I've washed down the vehicles and picked the gophers out of my hair, I'll...

Going to be offline for a little while. I''m going to Canada. Not sure what I'm allowed to say about it.

I guess I can say I'm going to be skydiving for the first time.

Something called 'accelerated freefall'

Rather than just dropping faster I think it means you go from static line to solo freefall quicker than normal. 5 days.

"The Ghurkas are Britain's 'oldest ally in Asia.' The Ghurkas have fought alongside British soldiers, 200,000 fought in the first and second world wars alone and 43,000 lost their lives. Since then, they have fought in the Falklands and currently in Iraq and Afghanistan."
