I am here, and I do check this thing every day...

Clearly this sounds like a plan.

Abroad might be nice. Barcelona would be top.

Haven't told fish yet, but I suspect she might be in....

P the swede.

Am I the last of the nerdy knee bloggers?
It's gone all quiet.

Here's a question for all those who got a few stars on the Halston Family Tree
(remember, you got a coloured star for each weekend away you attended)

Do you fancy reliving all those good old days with a weekend away on the coast somewhere?

I am thinking mid-September when the weather is still warmish, but the prices have dropped. I am happy to organise. Pass the word on to all without blogger.

Big thanks to Annie, Kat and Matt who have all signed my guestbook recently (geeks!) It's important to hear from home when you are away (as you all know!)

So how about it? Weekend away?
Coastal Cottage or caravan?
Or three days on a canal in a long boat?
If we are all within reach of a EasyJet Airport perhaps even a weekend away to Barcelona or Nice in November or Early December (I did it just before I left and it cost me 35 quid return (Bristol to Nice) and 12 quid a night in a dorm. Was about 20c in the day, bit chilly at night, but the Christmas lights and shopping in Nice was FANTASTIC.

Who's in????

I am going to send this via email to the few email addresses I have so if it's a repeat, hard luck.

I had my first introduction to tear-gas last night. It wasn't very nice. I wont bore you with the details here, but if you want to know more, then the whole, long-winded, over-dramatic, and possible over-exaggerated story is on my website
I hope everyone is well,

St Georges's Day - 23rd April 2004

---

Very Happy St Georges Day

I hope everyone has a very English cup of tea, glass of Pimm's or a beer or two to celebrate England's Day

With patriotic greetings (from Bolivia)
Adam

Even the Queen only gets two Birthdays, and your having how many Mr Wallace...?

Saying that, because I am geographically challenged I will not be able to attend any of the mentioned events, much to my distress.
But have a VERY happy birthday with muchos birthday greating sent from Bolivia.

Annie, thank you for leaving a message on my web site, it's starting to look like I have friends now the 'guest book' is not empty!

All's well in South West Earth, Love to all the bunnies in South East Earth and see all the f***ing northeners of Earth on my return.

Wee problem with the photography course. I have applied to do a National Diploma on my return. The tutor of the ND course thought my work was good enough to do an HND course and passed it on to the relivent tutor, who agreed. (big head time for Addie, I can tell you) ... BUT ... The HND course has closed and I have to wait to clearing in August. BUMMER!
Looks like I might have to wait a year, by which time, I will be settled and unable to cope with missing the wage I have got used to!
I am still in contact with the tutors, so something might be worked out, but I doubt it.

Oh well, will have to WORK!!! for a living I suppose, how nasty!

Love always
Adam

'tis the night before Friday, and what a relief a short week is!

Fish is asleep already, I've moved the computer into the now vacated spare room so I can dweeb at leisure.

Last Thursday was really really fab, all it is with genuine sadness that I had to say goodbye to Annie and Hamish. We've had some good reunions already, but this one had a real tinge of the good old days. If only cos we bought lots of booze (a lot of which is still sitting in my booze cupboard - thanks Hamish!). Am sitting here listening to George FM talk about (late) summer mornings and wishing we were all still there planning our Friday night piss up....

Another big weekend here though, me and Fish and my bro going to big Swedish ball at the weekend at the "Honorable Artillery Company". Won't be that honorable once we've finished with it...

Hugs to you all you lovely people.

Pete

A few observations about Chile...

1) It's not chilly, it should be renamed hot'n'sweaty
2) It's long and thin
3) everyone under 30 is stunning
4) everyone over 35 is fat and ugly
5) I don't want to find out what happens inbetween
6) Chillies grow in Chile, but they are not Chilly, they are hot
7) People think you are utterly mad if you take tea with any less than seven sugars
8) Just had a thought, the bottom bit is chilly, and so are the bits high in the Andes
9) Siesta is a pain in the arse
10) I don't take siesta, so why should the 200 million Spanish and Latino people of the world, don't they know how annoying it is when everything closes between 1pm and 3pm
11) It's very inconvenient and I am going to write a letter about it. It's just not cricket.
12) Chile is great and the people are really nice (except between 1pm and 3pm when they all disappear)

Tremendous Adam.

Last night, some **** (insert your own word there) decided to play his ******* trumpet at ******* 1am for a ******** two hour ******* session. I decided to skip spanish school this morning as I was tres tired, only to be awoken by the same ****, playing the ******* thing at 9am. Fucker! (ooop's, I mean ******!).
As you might be able to tell, I am a little moody this morning.

Nope, it's not worked, he's still a complete and utter mo.fo.

Enough of the pleasentaries, I have to go and feel angry and sorry for myself, it's going to be a busy day.

Last nigt was not a pleasure, but undoubtedly a chore.
I thought I would cheer myself up by thinking of all of you....
God, now I'm really depressed!
