It;s a blitz of an update this week! If I had a todo list for the past few weeks it would look both awesome and complete.
First thing crossed off was a holiday – Jonathan and I are off to Edinburgh in June for four nights as both a break and a celebration of being together one year. It’s a milestone for us, but a drop in the ocean for people like my parents. Looking forward to going back and flying over on another “chocks away!” plane like last time!
In relation to that point I also bought himself a present in celebration of “hey, we survived a year!”. Now I don’t buy him many gifts (not nearly half as many as he buys me) but when I do it’s always something that multiple people hate me for. He is now the proud owner of a single handed Marshall broadsword. Forged and tempered high-carbon steel blade (he’ll get a Damascus blade later on) which we have discovered will cut its way through most materials quite happily. It is a beautiful and very practical blade, especially compared to the sword he had perviously that not only broke at the shoulders of the tang but didn’t even have a fuller to allow for easy removal from a torso. Pssssht.
Next on the list was to get writing. But this has been on the todo list since the beginning of time. This has been resolved with a weekly deadline I have willingly acquired from Wildflower magazine! I have a weekly column there as well as other bits that I’ll be doing in addition to that in the future. As well as that my awesome friend of awesome is also writing reviews there too! A nice balance of opinion and advice which is always fun to read. Scarlet Speaks – check it out!
Lastly we went to the farm last weekend and we found some kittens! Kit-Kat had three little grey ones and they were about three weeks old at that point I think. I went to check on them as many times as I could. I was a very happy chappy, Kit-Kat wasn’t bothered by us at all and came and said hello while we petted the little ones.
Other than that the world is still turning, people are still doing the things they do and I’m getting massive Top Gear withdrawals after popping over to a car show at the weekend. I maintain that even with all the bells and whistles on Ferrari’s and Mercedes’ the Group B rally cars are still the best feats of engineering out there. And fucking insane to boot. I also got turned upside down in a 3ltr Audi A4. Funtimes had by all!
