In Just a Month

My last blog was a whinging, whining affair. You'll be happy to know, this isn't.

It's been an odd month. I've been over-doing it with the drinking, which I am now going to reign in. And we had Jamie and Vern from 51 degrees south down here filming http://www.51degreessouth.com/. That was great. We had a wonderful interview http://soundcloud.com/51-south/51-south-interview-with-firs. I previously met Jamie when he was here with the Hit and Run History guys, so it was nice to see a familiar face.

FITV celebrated their first anniversary. That was cool, it was a good party, and I only had to work for about 25 minutes of it.

Seb emailed me. He got to Cape Town safely and had an amazing ride over there. I replied to his email.

I emailed Dad. First off it took me ages to write the email, as I knew what I wanted to say but had to find the best way to say it. I finally did, got an opinion and I sent the email. Only it bounced back. Turns out that I now have no way of getting in contact with dad. Luckily I found another email for him, but after having to ask around. So I've sent it. Just waiting for a reply now.

I brought Aphrodite into work. She's my strawberry plant that I grew from a teensy, tiny seed. She did grow a strawberry at one point. But she's only a baby still.

My best friend met a lovely man, and that's all wonderful. And FIODA put on their best performance yet at the Town Hall. It went so well that they've been invited to MPA to perform out there.

I video-skyped mum and the nieces in Poland. They're all well and it was great actually seeing mum for the first time since I left the UK. She got a touch emotional.

And that's all that's happened this last month...oh except for my week off work when I tried my hand at baking. I made some lovely bread, teaberry buns (with teaberries picked by my own fair hand) and cherry buns. It was lovely.
