There is a chance that the whole region may be turned to glass in the coming weeks, let’s hope not seeing as they invented the game of chess don’t think they are stupid enough to take on the US

On a lighter note today was not as bad as I had thought, started with a clear blue crisp sky and by lunchtime certain worries may have been put to rest

Now onto more pressing things dinner
What shall I have…… Will surprise myself

Getting battered sausage and chips. It’s been a long day

That simple unseen commodity that flows around your home. On at a flick of a switch and powering everything that we use on a day to day basis.

When it’s gone there is a surreal pleasurable feeling of total darkness and silence. No whirring of fans or the compressor on the fridge. My room faintly lit up by the iPhone screen

The only occasional noise is the flaps for the bathroom vent moving in the wind. Can I do without the power, the answer is yes for the short term. Freezer and fridge the simple day to day things that maintain our food are essential. Being able to cook and make hot drinks are essential. Everything else I could do without.

But only for a short period!

Yep I can good old GPRS old school mobile data

Tonight the power has been on and off for the past 30 minutes, currently still off so let’s see if can blog with no Internet connection and no 3G.

Been a while since done this took my friends airsoft gearbox apart cleaned it up lubed it and put back together. Followed by sorting out his hop unit

Finally doing a chrono test to make sure was firing properly. I am getting quite good at all this, it’s a bit of a fiddle but once you know how it all works satisfying to get it all working

Hoping to get the ACR next week ready for a new year bash at Sopley

Got the calendar

Got the band

Worthy cause

Back to normality washing some bedding and sorting out boxes to put the Christmas stuff away

The new calendar is up in the kitchen with this months airsoft dates dotted

Really liked my presents this year they were thoughtful and ever so cool

It’s here lets hope the Mayans were crap at making calendars

Things to look forward too

Basically everything this year is going to be different. First thing is my birthday it’s only twenty days away and for some reason growing older does not bother me. I have grown wiser and more cynical brushing aside life’s stupid little annoyances and only looking forward
