Summer Update

1. I have a job working in very posche Knightsbridge for some very nice people, who on top of being generally very nice have also very nicely given me tickets to Silverstone (blog to follow). Unfortunately in my mind that has set a precedent for me, I'm expecting keys to a luxury flat next...

2. Due to the proximity of this new role to Harrods I have now been in the infamous department store for the first time ever. I have seen the unsettling statue, beautiful Globe Trotter suitcases, and the crystal bath that was sold today, which actually wasn't as impressive in reality as the angle in the metro made it appear. I just assumed it had a massive tap...however, it is easily big enough, and I am still envious of whoever gets to come home from work, fill it with bubble bath and submerge themselves in it for hours on end just because they can.

3. Tomorrow I officially being my fitness kick-start by taking to the walls of Craggy Island for a spot of amateur indoor climbing. This is to be a Wednesday activity to bolster the Monday's yoga, which massively rejuvenated me today, managing to shake off the shakes that persisted from the weekends...excitements, and rendered me near incapable of driving. Thankfully my mother is easily worn down and there weren't many cars on the road.

4. Guilfest is nearly upon us here in...Guildford! Oh yes, slap bang in the midst of the festival season this year, weather permitting, it's set to be a right good shindig, as someone like Russell Brand might say. I am particularly looking forward to catching Orbital (main stage but probably sans The Doctor this time) on Friday night, wiggling to Mungo Jerry's In The Summertime, a bit of Just Jack and then of course, firm festival favourites, The Human League on Saturday night. Then onto a nice chilled Sunday of The Young Knives, 10cc, and Status Quo.

5. After securing a chalet host position for the forthcoming winter season I have since declined this particular opportunity, decided it is now viable for me to save enough to just go and ski without having to clean any toilets for my daily bread, well ski lessons in this case. It will always be a pursuit to follow, but for now it's on the back burner, at least until I acquire a skill that promotes me a few levels up perhaps.

All for now. Over and Out.

Taylor Rices' moustache was just as impressive from where I was sitting
