today has involved many explosions, some pleasant,a nd some not.

at lunch time i hurt myself a lot! i made soup and the bowl i poured it into exploded, couldn’t handle the tastey mushroomy godness soup! or the heat.my heeart is racing, argh! got cuts on my feet and burned thumbs and shins. eeeeeeeeep owch!

so as a result i didn’t feel much like going out. there isn’t much to do on sunday, just lazing on the beach.

so i’ve started watching batman. i’ve been beaten up by marta’s rabbit. and i let it out of teh cage twice, evil evil girl! i’ve uploaded some more photos:

damn alignment!!!!!

and lastly i watched the fireworks. so ow the Mataro party is almost over for the year.

so i’m sun burned.

this morning when i walked past the mirror i notice how white my legs are compared to the rest of my body, well my thighs and arse are white as snow. i even took photos, for my 365 days.

so yeh my legs are tingly, serves me right for thinking my legs were so white that they’d reflect the sun!!!! i also have photos i just took, to show the after. these will all be online at a later date for all to laugh at!

no luck with a job yet.

excitment adventure:

i like to explore, i walk when possible because i like walking and exploring. i don’t fear getting lost, i don’t fear getting attacked, so it is rare than i feel the need to move a little quicker.

today i felt the need to move a little faster.

i walked to vilassa de mar to catch the train, 6km. took a short cut by a supermarket hoping to get to the beach. there is a stretch of 2km here where there is no beach, just rocks, and people don’t usually walk there. but i could at least see a road beyond this field. since there were cars and people at the other end i assumed that it was a well used short cut.

however when i got to the other end of the field i found it was all men, and they weren’t going anywhere. i could see that the road was 10m away from me by now, but up a steep slope and past a fence, but when i realised that all of these men were walking around in the trees and in this tunnel, all of whom were part naked or fully naked, i realised it wasn’t where i wanted to be, and rushed up this slope and to the road.

i finally got to a tunnel to the beginning of the next section of beach to see that the tunnel they were going down went to nothing but sea. no nudist beach!

so on my way back i went a slightly different route, but still cut by teh opposite side of the field, i felt it was safe as a cyclist was doing the same. but as i was a 1/4 through the field there was a tree with 2 men under, both naked and one masterbating.

i came across this once in london on walthamstow marsh while i was exploring.

eeep is all i can say! hehe.

this photo i took way back in may in berlin, i love it. so much so that it’s been my comuter background since:

so in the last week I’ve done things far and wide.
i shopped in Martigny, and so now i have bought three items of clothing since leaving London, which is record, and each of those items is small, a pair of underwear, belt and bandanna, though it’s called something else.
i then started clearing myself out, well my room, and managed to chuck a whole 2 black bags of stuff, to lighten my load as i continue to travel.

i managed to fit a lot of stuff in my snowboard bag, to take back to england, to lighten the car. the guy in the airport only charged me for 2 extra kg, even though i was nearer 10Kg over, so a charge of 50Sfr which wasn’t bad, my snowboard bag came to 26Kg, so my car will be much happier!
the flight with swiss air was niceish, the seats were much roomier than easyjet for sure! but i was tired and wanted to sleep, and there were 4 crying babies strategically placed around me! so no sleep.
the idea behind flying to London city airport was partly for convenience. after stepping off the plane, i managed to exit the airport in under 15 minutes. but then i found the DLR was closed for the weekend. no problem i didn’t mind taking a rail replacement bus, it would save me money, and mean i wouldn’t have to carry my Heavy bags around. but just near canary wharf, some idiot cut the bus up, going from the inside lane of the roundabout and turning off, so we had a crash, so that took 15 minutes to settle. then the bus finally came to it’s end, almost 10 minutes walk from bank station, so it half killed me walking to the station with my gear. the remainder of the journey wasn’t too bad, except that all of the walking, the snowboard bag knocked my glasses out of my pocket, so now i have lost them so a wonderful welcome back to grey wet London!!!!!

it was ecstasy to take the snowboard bag and leave it with Zoey and Anne at their flat.
i got to see a very hungover Zoey. then went to Camden to pick Izzi from work. Izzi n i went to her nice new flat in Brixton. i later went to Ben and Harry’s where Anne n Ben’s sister were drinking wine and talking of scary movies. and stayed at Anne’s.

Sunday i woke up, went hunting around Palmers Green and managed to find the Yasar Halim supermarket, so i got me some ace humous :D. walked to wood green, accidentally bought some shoes, but they can replace my tatty old trainers. went to orange, and found that the sim card i had, and couldn’t work out why my phone didn’t work, was not even my sim, go figure, how did i lose my sim and end up with another? so went to Camden, and had lunch with Izzi, then to Sebastien’s. later met Anne, and chilled in the evening.

Monday morning I caught the train to Grantham, met with dad, Allison and Nam, and off to grandpa’s.
grandpa and i mowed his lawn while the others went shopping. we all went out for dinner, which was interesting, all of the remains of our family round a small table.

next day up early, though the funeral wasn’t so early. many many people, and in dad’s speech he made a point to the whole chapel, of me ‘the one with the funny hair’! hehe. it was odd having a vicar for the funeral when granny wouldn’t car for such things. so outside while we left first and then everybody came out, I did not know a person there except those who i had dinner with the night before! they all seemed to know what i had been doing, and were asking about Verbier and the snow?
food afterwards in a country house was cool. after the bulk of the people left, there were just Cowley’s and there were more Cowley’s in there that I didn’t know, than I had ever known. Most up to the same sort of things, running various businesses. one interesting one, Looby Cowley. so they’ve all arranged a family gathering sometime in May or June, but it’s quite unlikely I will be in England.
back to London, had a nice meal in Henry’s in Covent Garden with Anne. we stayed up and watched black sheep, because it’s out on DVD in England. my favourite film for years. the DVD has a whole load more included than the copy i saw on the airplane from LA, or the downloads I got last year.

we headed to City airport in the morning, with plenty of time. had breakfast with Anne, and then I waited in the lounge. I had expected them to announce the plane being ready for boarding, so i waited and waited. and by the time I started wondering what was going on, the board said that boarding had closed. I had listened intently to every broadcast on the speakers, but the guy didn’t speak English, so i couldn’t understand a thing. as i was at the information desk, i saw my plane heading off to the runway, great :@ ! i was forced to buy a new ticket and wait 3 hours. it could be worse, the hardest bit staying awake until the next flight, not wanting to miss another!

I’ve been chilling out back here in Verbier.

Thursday, I went to a meeting at my work place, to help make sure that the web developers are on course and the new website for the company will do everything necessary, and we all went for dinner. a repeated comment was that i need to be there next winter to get the office running.

yesterday Nic and I went for a walk, which was nice, she was hoping to get a sun tan. we sat at the top of a cliff for 2-3 hours and had a pic-nic. so i ended up sun burnt, which became more and more apparent into the evening. Nic picked me up after work, and we went to Jo/Nini/Abdu/Luis’s for dinner. it still amazes me how late they eat, rarely before midnight!

I ordered a GPS for the car online, it’s wonderful how you can order things online in Switzerland and pay upon delivery! I have been moving money between my accounts and can’t pay until then! I think it would be wise to have GPS help to travel around Europe on my own, it will save map reading while driving! I went for the Garmin 250W, I hope it’s good! reviews say better than Tomtom.

so today is partying on the slopes. i don’t have my board as it’s now in London, so i am going to give skiing a go, though it has been art least 6 years, so this could be interesting!!!

so this turned out a bit long, maybe I should update more often!
