supertinksI'm in the local paper! Ok, so its not quite as good as being on TV, but its better than nothing!
Me and the guys in my office went Ice skating on the fake-ice rink they've put up in the Oracle shopping centre last Friday.
we were the first people of the year to have a go on the 'ice', so there was much fuss over the whole thing. local radio DJ's there doing a running commentary, trying to drum up more custom etc. photographers, tons of spectators. a fake snow machine (which was blowing large amounts of soapy bubbles over us).
there's a picture of Shelley and Michelle, and a picture of me. We're all having a massive 'snow' fight on the 'ice'. the first line of the article reads "These shoppers got carried away by the Christmas spirit..."
is very funny. I will post pics of the iceskating when I get round to it.
just finished packing for the weekend, have a very hectic schedule ahead:
tomorrow is Tash and Andy's wedding, so its up early to straighten my hair, then a 3 hour drive to Ross-on-Wye to check into the hotel. swift change of outfits, re-straighten the hair if I have time, then nearly an hours drive to the Castle where the whole thing is taking place.
Once the whole thing is over (and I will be stone cold sober for most of it!) we drive back to the hotel, so its going to be a very long day tomorrow!
Saturday we have to be up and about at a fairly sensible time, as we face a 2.5 hour journey from Ross-on-Wye to Llanelli, where we will be joining ~9000 other people in cheering on the Llanelli Scarlets in their vital Heineken Cup clash against French giants Toulouse (I will not go on, as I know none of you care about rugby). The game should be awesome.
After that, its a quick drive round the corner to Jamie's parent's where we are going out for a family dinner thing with everyone.
Sunday means driving back from Swansea, via Mike Dymond's place in Wiltshire. Its going to be a very long (but hopefully very enjoyable) weekend!
