ready... GO!

So i'm waiting for my friends Rob & Jo to arrive, they're coming down for the weekend from Cardiff. They're late. I'm killing time. So I'm gonna write whatever comes into my head here until they ring the buzzer then stop instantly and hit 'publish post'.

Well it's a gorgeous day and I dont think I've ever seen the beach looking so inviting and summery! It could have been abroad. It was quite crowded, but thats to be expected. See, I started my time-killing on the beach reading The Amber Spyglass, the third book in Philip Pullmans His Dark Materials trilogy. I've read the trilogy before about 5 years ago and decided it was time to revisit. Once again, I'm absolutely overwhelmed by how good it is.

It struck that 5 years ago I was on holiday on my Dads boat when I finished the Amber Spyglass, and thats where I'm going in a week and a half. I'm half way through the book, so maybe that will happen again.

Rob just called to say they're round the corner so this post hasn't got much longer. Better say something hugely interesting in not many words I guess...

It's Pride in Brighton this weekend, I'm not going cos we're going camping. At least its still CAMP! HA! get it?...

The weather is set to hold out which is great.

I had to mention the bloody weather didnt I!? Silly Englishman. The crap weather of late has spurred the country into endless diatribes about it and its cause. have I written about this before? Probably. Anyway, in true Englishman stylee, I've heard at least 4 very convincing arguments as to why the summer has been SHIT. Each person was convinced they were right, debunking the other theories. Ah, we're a silly bunch on our wee, wet Island!

You know, I've just thought that it would be more productive of me to stand outside the house and wait for Rob & Jo as they don't know where the house is. So thats it. So much for the interesting, premature termination I had planned.
