it sounds like it could be good, but that seems like one of those UK specific things that I should probably try when I travel.

I'll bet it was amazing. I loved seeing your vid before of you drumming away. Too bad you did not take your camera.

Mmmm, I've never tried medium format before. It looks really neat though... I'd like to give it a shot. Business is ok - my Mac crapped out on me on Monday, so I can't process any photos until it gets back. Kind of a bummer, but my husband is on holidays this week so we've had the chance to hang out during the day, instead of just after work. Thats nice!!

man. incredible

Seriously here, most parents would call child protection if I told them that i used to let my 5 year old daughter play out unsupervised, its so sad, they miss out on so much. All they have is 'playdates' for a couple of hours.
I used to have a friend whos Dad used to whistle when it was time for her to come in, you could hear it from miles away.
Jumpers for goalposts..those were the days.
As for making my own bread, I really should try, I'm just too darn lazy..
And I've been meaning to tell you for ages but I used to live in Scapegoat Hill, about 5 miles out of Huddersfield, if you're ever fancy a drive out to somewhere new to shoot, on a clear day the view from up their is spectacular and I know at least one person who would appreciate looking at the pictures!
You could get a nice pint and a good steak and kidney pie in The Scapehouse pub too!

Belated good luck man!
I don't understand all the rules of roller derby. But essentially is it a sport where the girls skate in circles and certain girls are supposed to pass through the pack to score points. Other girls block... almost like football. That's really all I know except that the girls are tough and kinda brutal sometimes knocking each other over and whatnot. It doesn't sound interesting in words... just one of those things you kind of have to experience. I guess, from the SG Rollergirls group, they even have it in the UK.
And I thank you. We just moved into a house and I am loving that basement already!
Congrats and best with the MF... can't wait to see the results.
Cheers!

thank you for the lovely poem, and of course the comment on my set! it's nice to meet another great soul have a great weekend!
have a great weekend!

I never look at the new sets unless it's someone I know or it really catches my attention. I miss the way things used to be around here... I almost cancelled my subscription a while ago. I had like 2 days left, and then was like ahh, fuck it. I'll stick around. It's not like it's super expensive.
On that note, no, not rich yet. Working at it, but not yet. I'm redesigning my site. It really bothers me!!

Well Life has smiled on me over the weekend and I have been reminded how damn lucky I am to be married to the most amazing, considerate, compassionate woman.....she deserves so much better than I give her.
Thank You my Love for hanging on in there
She took me out sun night and I got soooo drunk...apparantly I was very amusing/annoying in equal measures....bad hangover...

You're much better placed to speak about the realities of life elsewhere than I am, for sure.
I hope things are improving.

Hey Kpan. Was thinking about you and hoping you are doing okay. I sent a long message yesterday but had net issues and it jammed or something when I hit send. I think it deleted. I just wanted to say hi.
