15 June - 13 July 2011

Why hellooo everyone.

Little late on the blogging front, I have been a busy bee, preparing for Sonisphere last weekend and the sponsored walk I was taking part in last week. And I am also preparing for the Women's Adidas 5K Challenge.

My pain threshold has been relatively quiet of late. I guess I have been doing more than I normally do ha-ha  However, there has been a few flare ups of the old HMS pain and arthritis pain in my shoulder.

So I guess not much to really blog about apart from how the walk and 'Sonisphere' went.

The walk went OK, a few teething problems on it but all was sorted. I used my crutches that day as it was a 3 mile walk from the STV Studios to Pittodrie Stadium in Aberdeen. So far we have raised £75 for Bullying UK and £35 for HMSA.

Two days after the walk I attended the 'Sonisphere Festival' in Knebworth, Stevenage. 4 days camping, as you know for arthritis sufferers and bendy people that is hard going, but I managed it. Thursday was the day we (me and my friends, Graeme, Ian and GG) travelled south for the event. Took us a good few hours to get there, we ended up pitching our tents in the dark (horary for pop up tents), I ended up sharing a tent with GG, wasn't too bad cause I had company lol, had to be male company though eh!.
Friday was a good day so to speak, I did however, fall in Graeme's tent and break my right thumb and give myself a stinking bruise on my left leg. Thumbs still strapped up as we speak, how I am managing to type is beyond me, but hey ho, I'm just magic :), we had torrential rain that day, to which I ended up catching a cold. Saw my most favourite bands on Friday, Megadeth and Metallica, and that was even with a visit to the festival hospital. Saturday was a very quiet day for us, not many bands on Graeme and I liked, so we spent a lot of time in the camp site, just gossiping, there was only one band I liked and that was WEEZER, I slept most of Saturday after Weezer. Sunday was the last day, I managed to get a couple of pictures taken, which are now proudly on my Facebook :). Monday was coming home day, had to be out the camp site by 12pm, because of the sun burn I managed to acquire on Sunday, I had trouble carrying things and well, having anything on my skin lol.

I must have arrived back in Falkland at nearly 9pm. Very very long day that was.

Spend Tuesday in my bed to try and rid myself of this cold and what not, today was job centre day, I signed on and as usual no jobs going :(. But hey ho, 5 weeks and 6/5 days until I move to Aberdeen and start my new life in the big ol' City of Aberdeen.

Well, that is about it for me at the moment. I look forward to intriguing you all with my next blog, which I know will be about my preparations for moving to Aberdeen. Look forward to see ya all then :).
