Back From Holiday - With Illness

Been back in England a few days now and it sure is nice to be back to weather that isn't bloody hot everyday. The coach drive back was even worse than the journey to the destination due to the fact (put that in there cos of Taylor :P) everybody had gotten ill. I don't believe we have swine flu but considering it's been nearly a week and yet not everyone is feeling 100% back to normal (me included although the others are worse) it could be something worse than just the usual cold.

Can't be bothered to blab about the holiday, the hotel was pretty crap but they had alright food. The entertainment there was lame but they had some good activities such as rifle shooting and archery as well as an okay pool. The area in Spain was decent enough with enough entertainment to occupy us throughout the 2 weeks we were there (crazy golf, bowling, trampolining) and going to Barcelona to see statue people (whatever they are meant to be cool) was a fun experience. Still, glad to be back.

Holiday Tomorrow

After waiting for 10 months or so the holiday to Spain with my family and Taylor is starting tomorrow. With a 20 to 30 hour coach trip journey to get there I'm sure tomorrow is going to be a very dull day. Not sure what I'm going to do on the coach but I plan on sorting out my iTunes and iPod today so that I have that to listen to. My trusty camcorder will also be coming with me on my hand luggage so I can document our trip, just need to clear up some space on the hard drive (maybe) and upload recent skate clips and charge the battery, then I'm all set.

Going to have Taylor come round tonight and help make sure everything is fully ready for our 9AM start tomorrow. I think she's going to burst with excitement when she wakes up tomorrow morning lol.

Big Storm + Babysitting

Taylor suspected a storm was coming after we were both getting hot and stuff Thursday night, it's a sign that bad weather is approaching. Sure enough she was right, the next day (yesterday) it thundered and rained a lot so I was unable to do any skateboarding.

After spending a day inside looking after Taylor (because she's a bum hole and gets scared) and watching The Heartbreak Kid we ended up going round her auntie's house to babysit Taylor's cousins. They're great kids and fun to be around, a privilege I do for free (even though Tay Tay get's £20 out of it :O).

She's at work now and I'm here bored blogging. Hmmmmm I hope the weather gets better so i can go skate!

I'm Hating This Weather

I had 3 bloody showers yesterday, all because the sun wants to make it too god damn hot! It's horrible, puts me in a depressing mood and makes me run out of clean underwear to wear. I'm so grateful that the sun is bloody hot yet again, I'm going to love melting when I dare step outside later to the postbox!

Just going to have to retreat in my bedroom and hope it cools down for the rest of the year. I miss winter!

Being On The Moon Must Be So Cool

So after Top Gear finished (which I only watched to see who The Stig was and chances are it was staged as I'm sure it's not Michael Schumacher) I saw the James guy from Top Gear in a documentary about the moon and space. I found it interesting learning about who went to the moon first, the problems they faced, how it's possible and many more answers to questions I have always wondered were revealed to me.

Eventually James got to go up not in to space but double or so the height of what a traditional aeroplane will take you when you go on holiday somewhere. The view he films on a camcorder is amazing, you can see the blackness of space and then far below are little white blotches, these were the clouds. When he lands he goes on to explain how he can understand the new sense of perspective you get on life and earth after experiencing what it's like to be on the outskirts of it.

It makes me want to go to the moon. Chances are I never will but no gravity skateboarding sure would kick arse.

I Hurt My Neck :(

It was all Taylor's fault! I was already happy for learning some weird martial arts backflip thing on my trampoline and then proud of myself for doing 2 back to back backflips first try and then when I was relishing the moment she told me to do a double front flip, calling me chicken if I didn't!

If you know me then you'd know I hate being called "chicken" or any other terminology that hints at me secretly being afraid to do something. The reality is that it isn't true, I just didn't want to try a double front flip because I can not get the height on the crappy Argos trampolines (which mine is).

First attempt I didn't land on feet but didn't get hurt, was satisfied but then decided I needed to try again on film otherwise I'd never get the guts again to get one on camera. This was a bad idea as this time I hurt my neck and it's been stiff and sore for the past couple of days *sobs*.

I Have a New Follower!

Well not properly, but kinda. My amazing beautiful girlfriend finally decided to watch my blog in case I mention anything about her, ha! Bit gay of her to not sign up properly and follow but with her having my blog page open in Firefox everytime she goes on the Internet she is sure to not miss any blog posts I make. :D

That's all for now, hope you've enjoyed me dedicating a whole post about you Tay Tay, I love you :P xxx <3
