Well, only a few hours to go before I start sailing.
Much splicing of mainbraces and binicles.
I might blog at some point via the magic of my palmt3 and phone – if i still have some juice in the phone that is!

footy training
on consulting the diary, I find i can make training tonight! drinks are tomorrow after work.
the only problem that occurs to me is that i don’t have any football boots… 😮
T’was the first day of a new era in my life today. New company, new people and new place! What does the future hold in store I wonder?
Most satisfying that my work PC has access to the Internet!!!
Windsurfing
Much excitement today when I did my three hour course and found at the end I could happily careen across the lake, practically turning on a sixpence. Amazingly, I didn’t fall in once; so my wetsuit remained dry.
I wonder what will happen when I try my new skills out on the bane board?
Rosebowl
A great day at the Rosebowl in Hampshire seeing the West Indies trounce Pakistan. Many thousands of Pakistan supporters blowing their trumpets continuopusly and waving banners and flags were up against a miniscule contingent of Windies enthusiasts blowing into their conch shells while equal sized portions of staid English neutrals and police and security goons to stop pitch invasions looked on. The Pakistani supporters were fantastic, real cricket enthusiasts, clapping and cheering every bit of good play from the West Indies as well as their own side and not seeming to mind one iota that the game was so one sided against them.
The day was marred by a biting cold wind, crappy car parking arrangements, and a wasp that bit me on the lip while I was eating my sandwich which necessitated a trip to the first aid tent as one entire side of my face swelled up like a balloon. I had to spend the rest of the day walking around holding my wobbly extra cheek in the palm of my hand. Horrible!
