I am here honest

Hello all,

Yes I know what you are thinking, that I am rubbish at this whole thing. And to be honest I am not going to hide away from those accusations!

I have been a busy little bee though!

So I have been to the Rock En Seine rock festival in Paris! Which was fantastic, got to see some amazing bands some I have never seen and some I have not seen I a good few years! I saw the Deftones who i haven't seen in it must be 13-14 years eurgh it makes me feel old! And the I saw some new acts who right know I can't for the life of me remember the name of but they we kiwis and freaking sweet! A great day was had.

After that I moved north, towards the Uk as i have a course booked for the 8-9 th of this month to finally after a years and a half get to finish off my Yachtmaster Ocean!

Oh it wasn't all play sailing though! On my meandering way through some amazingly beautiful French countryside i had another breakdown!

Turning a corner I heard a sickening bang and the all to familiar sounds of something metal running off on the roads, the breaks where applied in a fast motion and to my shock I stopped quite quickly. So out I jumped searching the road for what i was sure was going to be something dangerous and stupidly expensive to repair. I found a washer that was it!

I changed my clothes moved the van to a conveniently placed curb and began to crawl underneath to find my problem, nothing. Not best happy! Out came the bible not holy scripture but the Haynes manual. After a while back under I found my enemy, the drivers side anti roll ball that links onto the steering system had decided to shear itself apart! Shit! I though. However after a quick ring to the boys at Syncronutz in Shotts. Who are T25 specialists and true gentlemen. They reassured me that after removing the offending item I would be able to drive along "Nae Bother" my trust in those guys thankfully well placed got me out of trouble!

So that is how I find myself here on the Isle of Wight ready somewhat to do my Ocean.

Tale told!

Now I know that this is supposed to be a photo blog yes I have some great photos to share however I am in a campsite on my iPad and they ain't on here! I'll get them posted up tomorrow if I survive the weather for a start and my mad dash last minute studying that is.

Ciao for now!
