New Blogger

Time to jump on the bandwagon and update this blog with a new template and comments box.

The comments box is well-over due, but I just couldn't be bothered to mess around finding a suitable host and adding in the code. I've also been aware that it will probably only invite abuse... Well done to google for the improved options, and bring that abuse on!


Paintball

I came back with 12 bruises, two skinned shins, one grazed hand and one unimpressed wife. However, compared to the car, I got off lightly. I managed to back it into a tree in the woodland car park.

Oops. That rounded the afternoon off nicely for Vic...

Did she enjoy it? For the first 4 games she cowered behind the cover at the rear of each field, scared of getting hit and scared to get in the thick of the action. By the end she was happier -- the more "mission" orientated games (such as defending a house from the evil blue team) were far more to her liking. I don't think she'll do it again however... and it certainly didn't match up to an afternoon at a health spa.


JF's Funeral

A guess a good thousand or two turned-out for JF's funeral. The bells tolled. The minister played to the crowd. The readings and tributes were fitting. The school kids lined the street when his coffin departed the church. There were many long faces. It made you realise how many people this great man had helped over the years.
