So Friday August 10th saw me hitting the ripe old age of 36! Yes, 36. Although the previous weekend, someone told me I looked 28, so that was nice :)
I got lots of cards, lots of texts and 1 present. That was from my 2 kids - they paid for me to have a tattoo done to alter the SHELL on my neck. I had the tattoo done on the Saturday just gone (with the kids) by my friend Steve at Crazy Ink. When it has calmed down, I will post some pictures. Once again, the tattooing didnt hurt much until he started doing a star on a pressue point. I said to him "That hurts a bit"...
Last week, I was on holiday with the kids and spent a few days at Croyde Bay, Devon, camping. It was very windy and very rainy but we enjoyed it immensely. On the second day, we had to relocate the tent, as our original pitch had been double booked! Cue the scene of 1 adult and 2 small children walking through a camp site with a fully assembled tent in the wind and rain - must have looked hilarious as we tried not to get blown away.
On the way back from the break, we stopped off at Tropiquaria again, as the kids had loved it so much last time we went. Then home and back to normal-ish life.
Friday night, saw John and I DJing for an engagement party at Stotties from 8 til 12 - mostly playing Motown and Cheese (with a random selection of R&B and Dance thrown in). If one more drunk person had come up and asked for "anyfing by Cascada" I might have gone mad or at least tried to electrocute them.
Thursday sees me off to London for FrightFest 2007 but I am returning home on Saturday to do a DJ gig for a friends b/day party and then going back on the Sunday). Fortunately, I have already seen 2 of the films from that day and have another re-scheduled, so I am only missing a couple over all. Better that, than waste any of the �140 ticket. Plus I might get some pocket money for performing on the evening...
...which leads me on to this evening. Straight after work, its round to Pauls dads garage to raid it for speakers, lighting, etc, etc. I think all I will need is an anmplifier, which will then leave me with an entire DJ outfit, ready to party. Then I can start advertising and start getting a little income for myself :)
The following Friday, I am playing the Alex again - this time by myself, as I think John will be on holiday in Corfu with our friend Mark. Thats 2 gigs within a week of themselves - alone! I'm looking forward to it - although I do need some more cheese burnt to CD for me to play, as people do seem to like cheese :o
