Into August

Right! Time to post a catchup on a few things I hadn't got round to posting about yet. Once again! Well you should all know by now that I am probably one of the web's most irregular posters...

Birthday Weekend
Hehe, anyway, my birthday weekend sometime ago started on Friday 25th July. My birthday was littered with preparing for Saturday, which I shall explain about shortly, but we did take some time out to provide me with a selection of presents, most noteworthy being quite a lot of PSP-based games. I was also promised a new iPhone, although O2 stocks were low and so I was unable to get one on the day.

Saturday was our Jarrett Family's Summer Party, representing our celebration of Summer, and my Dad and my Birthdays. It started at 12:30 and finished around the same time 12 hours later. And it was awesome! We had our usual large bouncy slide, and smaller bouncy castle. In addition, we also had a large marquee which housed the food that our lovely caterers offered. And we had near perfect weather. There wasn't much else we could ask for!! Thank you to everyone who attended and I hope you enjoyed yourselves!!

Sunday was our day of cleaning up, followed by rest. The party on Sunday left a lot of mess, and so the morning was spent tidying and dealing with the recycling, while the afternoon and evening spent in relaxation.

Monday 28th July dawned early, as it was my Dad's birthday. His presents included a new BBQ, delivered to him before the party started, and a few other things of course. He also managed to get his new BMW M3 delivered on the same day! So all around, it was a pretty awesome weekend.

Past Weeks
As promised, a review of the past weeks is in order. Work has generally been the same, with a few new websites being brought into the mix. I may post more about that in a later blog entry. As for my room, the carpet has been laid, the lights installed, and all that needs to be completed now is a few paint jobs, the curtains (the last thing on my list now) and the LCARS accessories. I may soon post a few pictures up onto the web to show you what my room looks like now!

Then, there is the Avatar: The Last Airbender finale! Oh, awesome was an understatement. I don't think I've ever seen a more perfect ending, as there was only one slight niggle from my point of view (that being Zuko's mother... what was the point of bringing up that question moments before the end?) But other then that, it was brilliant! And the way Aang defeated the Firelord I thought was perfectly fitting, despite some criticism I read on the forums.

Anyway, I'll post more about my University and other matters in another post.

The Present
Right now, I am on holiday in Paris, France. I will be starting to write an offline diary (unlike my previous holidays and more like my first real recorded holiday) and posting them as and when I get Internet time. So until then... au revoir!
