Girlie weekend

Last bank holiday weekend I went camping with a girl from work and her partner. It was supposed to be 5 of us, but due to the weather, two of them cried off. Anyway, the 3 of us had a faboulus time.

The rain wasn't too bad at all; it only drizzled but the wind was quite strong. I had put up the gazebo to give us more room but on Sunday morning I did have to take it down otherwise it would have blown down and got damaged.

Because of the lack of space in the main part of the tent we decided to spend the afternoon in the local pub. We played pool (which I haven't played for 12 years) so I got thrashed. :-(

In the evening we decided to go for a curry since we couldn't cook outside because of the rain and we didn't have enough room to cook in the tent. The place we chose was nice and the food was excellent.

Prior to that we had planned to go back to the pub to take part in a quiz. It was £1 per head and this included oatcakes with cheese and chips. we had forgotten all about the food and stuffed ourselves in the restaurant.

We didn't win the quiz but we did very well with it. It was a great evening and overall a good weekend. I would love to do it again, in summer. We'll have to see.

Exam Results!

On Friday I had my exam results returned. I was over the moon ecause Chris told me over the phone that there was a certificate with it, so I assumed that I had passed. Consequently, I went around telling eveyone that I had passed only to get home and find out that I hadn't.

What happened was that I passed one part of the exam, which is why they sent me the certificate, but the other part I failed and have to re-sit. I was gutted, and it was so embarrasing having to tell everyone that I got it wrong. At least I wasn't on my own as quite a few people failed both parts so I'm lucky that I only failed one.

Next date for the exam is on 13th June.

Rain, rain and more rain

The British weather has been really living up to it's reputation. It has been raining non-stop for 8 days. Luckily it's still fairly warm (around 15 to 19 degrees) but it is soooooo miserable and this morning the weather forecaster said it was going to get worse before it gets better.

Chris is going camping at the Isle of Man next Wednesday for nearly three weeks, so we are of course hoping that it will be better by then.

I'm going camping in Leek with a girl from work and her friends. There is going to be five of us all-together so it should be good whatever the weather. Really looking forward to it.

How boyish or girlish are you?

You Are 60% Boyish and 40% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

Hospital for tests

I went back for my appointment to the doctor and she put me through as an emergency to the hospital for checks; not because she thought there was anything to worry about, but quite the contrary. She wanted to prove to me that there was no need to worry but as soon as possible. The hospital appointment has been booked for Friday the 11th which apparently is going to take a good while, but at the end of it all I will know for sure what it is.
