So I mentioned Laserforce to Rob the other week, after I went, and suggested he should try it. He agreed, and we finally made it down there on Saturday night. Jess & Kate came as well, all in the same car (Jess’). They were going to play, or at least that was the impression they… Read more
Last Tuesday was kayaking as usual, and it went well. As previously noted, I’m comfortable paddle rolling now. I’ve been trying on the odd occasion to hand roll, but the best I can do is get half-way, if that… of course, I usually decide to try at the end, when I’m ditching anyway, which is… Read more

Last Friday Chris invited me along to ice skating, organised by (I think) the law society at his uni. I passed on the invite, and collected Laz, Sarah, Ann-Marie and Scotty along the way. It was the first time Ann-Marie had ice skated, although she’d rollerbladed before, and the first time for anything of the… Read more
