The weekend of a million miles...

Well maybe about 300 to be more precise. Been travelling quite a bit
this weekend-went up to Cardiff yesterday to see the uni boys, before
travelling back to Newcastle Emlyn to see my lovely girlfriend and her
mates. Then this morning I bombed it down to Pembre for Burns' dog day-
was marshalling for that though turns out they didn't really need
me... And then as soon as I'd finished there I went for Sunday lunch
with madame before a stroll around Trostre retail park to pick out the
smallest skirts we could find for her... It was very successful!

Last weekends camping was fantastic. I truly felt like I took on
nature, Gethin Jones style. We went down late on Friday night
expecting to stay at Newgale (like the rest of the surfers, right?!)
but it turns out nobody camps at this time of year haha and the girl
in Newgale pub just looked at me stupid when I even suggested such a
thing. So we ploughed on to Whitesands where Ani rightly remembered a
small privately owned campsite which is open all year round! Anyway it
was pitch black when we got there and putting up her big tent proved
completely impossible so we ended up in my Tesco value tent that I got
for £4 in Newquay this summer. I thought it was great considering we'd
have been sleeping in the car without it, but to quote another party
"Sure it was waterproof... It kept all the water on the inside!". :-)
Anyway it really added to the fun... And we did get the proper tent up
for Sat. So anyway the main event had to be our sea adventures-of
course I didn't have a girly wetsuit so after about an hour and a half
of waves my body was coming out in these blue patches... I still
wanted to keep going but considering the lengths we had to go to to
warm up (probably about an hour in the car at 27C, the highest it'll
go, followed by a cup if tea in an Italian restaurant) it was a good
idea to stop when we did! Anyway I think we definitely beat the sea...
Next step it's Snowdon.

Went to see the Swans on Tuesday night against QPR and it had to be
the worst game I'd ever seen! They came purely for the draw and barely
took any shots. The one highlight had to be Alan Tate going in goal
after half an hour though! Big Bird did a great job though.. If I was
Ian Dowie I'd have gone crazy over the lack of shots, and then maybe
I'd still have a job BOOM!

Anyway it's the UK NFL game right now and LT is having a stormer so
going to watch this. Don't know who to support as Rivers and Brees are
both just awesome. Next year in going!
