Photos from Knockengorroch

Heya,

Well there are some photos from knockengorroch on my photo site, all is well. The shop opens up this week (FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiinally) should be all good.

I was in Aberdeen this week, friday night was kareoke night in the hotel bar, a bitch fight broke out, the dj tried to break it up and got bottled on the dance floor. It was quite an interesting evening.

Ok, ok I'll stop now.

A quick update

Well, Edinburgh's still doing pretty well, just coming to crunch time with house shenanigans, who's to move or stay, who comes who goes, who pays what... Etc. Etc.

On better news the T-Mobile store that I'll be working at has finally commenced construction, with handover planned for 28th May, so far I've been shunted around to all corners of Scotland such amazing places as Motherwell, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes, Falkirk and Aberdeen. Its like living in a Hostel, yeah its work and stuff but I just want to settle into the one store with the one team. As far as promotions go it had a slightly shaky few weeks but is (Hopefully) back on track, yay!

Last month I managed to double my sales target and as a reward bought my self a shiny new digital camera, a Canon EOS 20D ( for those not in the know its Da Fuckin' Bomb!! ) a very swish piece of machinery. This weekend I plan to give it a bit of a bash at Knockengorroch Festival.

From the flyer "2 stages, Celtic Longhouse, Acoustic Sessions throughout weekend, late-night Dj's, Open Mic, Storytelling, Street Theatre, cabaret, Fire spectaculars, music, dance and lots of Creative Workshops, Solar Powered Cinema, children's marquee and procession, puppets, global shopping, real Scottish ales, camp site provided.

sounds like fun to me

more to come soon ( with great festival photos )

Mentos in a 2 Litre bottle of of Diet Pepsi

Sorry it's sideways, but on a day off we smoked a spliff in the forrest and then dropped Mentos into bottle of cola. Fun and games my friends, fun and games!

On a slightly more serious note, I'm getting a promotion, thats right I'll be the Senior Sales (effectivly the assistant manager) of the biggest store in Scotland. yay. woo. woohoo.

well now that its been a few weeks its a little hard to try and sum up
the Spain trip in just a few words.
on the second day I got news from oldman that grandma had died that
day. for me it was weird being away from home for something like that.
It was strange to be on holidays in Spain knowing my parents were busy
making funeral arrangements. (I'll attach dad's eulogy for those who
would like to read it.)

So, apart from being thrown a bit off kilter by that, Spain was
amazing. The beer was cheap, the other inhabitants of the hostel were
a great and it was an amazing festival.
More to come soon.

Valencia Spain

Valencia Spain
We arrived in Valencia for Las fallas 2006, thanks to a tip off from
Trish and Bruno (Nicky's aunt and uncle)
Pepe just described it as "crazy, oh it's so crazy" we weren't too
sure what to expect, we ended up in an explosion of noise colour beer
and most importantly explosions. Just picture cramming a few extra
million people into a Spanish city, fill every available space with
flags, lights and statues carved from polystyrene and paper mache.
From morning till well into the night the streets were filled with
parades of marching bands and families in traditional dress filled the
streets.
We had a fairly boring day one, on the bus to the airport Julia
realised she had left her wallet at home, it was the first of many
losses through out the week. We met up with Dave at Gatwick, he had
spent the last few days in London. Being the "value conscious
consumers" that we are, in a clearing of the airport we enjoyed a
picnic style packed lunch. It was the first time I had flown with-in
the EU on my British passport, it was weird, no hassles at all. Its
weird being so used to filling out arrival cards lining up to get
passports stamped and all that hoopla. A quick glance at the photo and
off to baggage collection. We had booked accommodation online a few
months back with the nest hostel, the only place with room left. We
took a little while to find the place, but that's to be expected when
you don't bring the address of the hostel. Our dubious thoughts of a
rat infested shit hole were quickly put to rest by warm welcoming
staff and a huge clean colourful and comfy hostel. We dumped out bags
and went for a wander, shortly followed by beer and tappas.
