pre new year post

Christmas to New Year has been interesting and fun, can’t really be bothered to say exactly what happened for the whole time. Firstly I’m knackered; Christmas takes it out of you defo. I may have developed a rum problem, and affairs of the heart although fun and interesting can also be a little draining and tiring. What can you do? This has been a Really Great Christmas and wouldn’t have changed very much - just one person I would have swapped for another (cryptic!). The last days I’ve been chilling out during the days, drinking a little bit some evenings, eating good food. Here are a few of the highlights

Watching Steve eat lobster in the freedom café. Freedom café is famous for its slow service and Steve ordered his lobster at 6.30 went for a walk for an hour then went back with me and Emma. At about 10 Steve had had enough and decided it was time to leave. I wanted to stay and see if there was actually a lobster but got outvoted and left, good tip though if you are in a bar and the beers warm, order a beer that nobody really drinks (fosters) and they have lots of cold ones – this was a fun night but nobody else agrees.

Went and danced at the sound system and sat by a fire after. Met Dennis who was cool, he left me with this Irish girl by a fire that was a bit fucked (she threw up in the fire) had to walk her home with her trying it on with me. I declined the offer!

Sat by a fire watching the sun go up when me and a girl called Corrine decide to walk to the next beach, neither of us had a room and we weren’t very tired. Got there and stayed there all day found a nice guest house then sat in café all day. What a nice girl she is.

Coming back to ohm beach after moving to paradise beach for 2 days, felt like coming home, was really nice, missed saying goodbye to some people. Haven’t got a room on ohm though and have been sleeping a little funny.

Having to tell jenny mark (and Emma I think but she denies this) to shut up as they were waking up the whole beach. I told them to shut up they thought it was funny and laughed some more so had to tell them again. They woke me up, they woke my other neighbours up they woke everyone up!! Was funny ish. Then in the morning I heard that mark shouted at some hippies for chanting and waking him up!!!!! Very very cheeky that!!

Marks new beach hut on paradise beach is absolutely amazing!!! Great view, I’m jealous I have no home.

Thats all I can be bothered to write today. I’m knackered now just been lying in the hammock practicing with gariks (that’s a person) catapult. Tonight’s New Years Eve so everybody is deciding what to do…... as per usual. I’m going to put on my sword and pirate about a bit

Oh quick note for myself on 2008 as I may not remember it in 10 years time and this is a good place to record my thoughts

2008 was a year of change….. lol,

Lots happened, biggest thing was splitting up with ex girlfriend. Changed my life but not for the worst. I actually can’t remember much that happened this year before this event, don’t know what that means but hey. I have been a heartbroken mess of a man occasionally but some really good things have come out of it.

discoving mid-wales !! I love mid wales thanks wayne!!
Sneaking into festivals is useful occasionally, also getting lost with gilly on way to sneaking into festival is also good 

Getting loud speakers for my computer and annoying everyone on the street.
Suppose going to India is also good…….

This year has been amazing! As I get older ever year gets better! Long may this continue!

Anyway I’ve decided I’m in a new years resolution mood so I’m going to do one. I was going to stop drinking but that’s changed and at the moment I’m going to go vegetarian (I’ll eat fish – not lobster though ). May change between now and then though..

Happy New Year hope your year has been at least as good as mine and I hope your next one is even better! xx
