New photos and injured finger

I've posted loads of new photos, as you'll see. All from my camera phone, which isn't great quality, but it captures a moment.

Other than that, I managed to dislocate the little finger of my left hand last night, during the second and last of my snowboading lessons. It's currently strapped to the finger next to it and has to stay that way for at least a week. It also meant Steph and I got to spend half the night in casualty - boring! Still, I was in considerably better shape than some in there, so I shouldn't complain too much. It makes typing a bit harder though. I think I'll stop.

Weekend of table tennis

We just had a great weekend away away arganised by Mike and May kind of for Mike's birthday although that seems ages ago. Anyway, we had a great time despite the weather. Mike, me, Kevin and Phil battled it out to be the weekend table tennis champion. I think the honour went to Phil in the end, but it was good fun. Also played Settlers a lot, and also a freeform murder mystry thing on Saturday evening, which was good fun and everyone enjoyed themselves.

I have also just downloaded loads of photos off my phone, so hopefully some new pics will appear on flickr soonish!

October & early November update

Hi there. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We've done loads of stuff recently, most of which I can't remember! Steve and Julie came down for a few days towards the end of October. It rained a lot but we did get in one good walk in the New Forest. We also sorted out what lessons we are all going to have when we go sking/ snowboarding next year with them and Mike and May.

We also played a great game called Settlers which I won, twice! Highly recommended.

I have also been helping out with a drama group for children which has been fun. It's great to see them open up and express themselves.

Steph's getting into her french teaching. I think it's all coming back.

Last wednesday I went up to London for the day for a course. The food was very good. And the course was quite interesting too.

And at the weekend we went to some friends for fireworks, which was excellent, if a bit cold.

So, there you go, back up to date! We're off to Wells in Somerset on Saturday for Steph's mum's birthday and then next week, Casino Royale is out!!! Hurrah!
