What I did on my holidays

In lieu of a proper update with a point and stuff, here's a list of some of the things I did during my recent time off from work:

• I went to Cambridge:
  • There I attended Consternation, a gaming convention, along with freakcrab, silicon_owl, Martin and Oliver.
  • I played one roleplaying game, "Abnormal for Norfolk", but it was pretty good.
  • I picked up some bargains in the con's auction but also some cheap tat too.
  • Just as we do everytime we go to Cambridge, we spent ages wandering around town looking for somewhere to eat
  • I went to see The Island. Don't bother. It's pretty upsetting that a film this poor spelt the end of Spare's chances of getting filmed.
  • On the way back I actually enjoyed some of the driving. The southern half of the A68 is really nice.
• I spent a lot of time clearing out some of the junk from my flat, in particular I emptied the spare room so it was once again spare.
• I helped a friend move into my spare room, rapidly making it not spare again.
• I threw out a pile of model airplanes. It's amazing that it took me so long to get rid of them, they'd been lurking around since I was at school. It's amazing how much influence sentimentality can exert.
• I donated 4 PCs, including monitors, to a PC re-use scheme. And I still have more PCs than I need.
• I went mountain biking. Woo-hoo! Three rides and each time I felt my shoulder was stronger and I was more confident. I'm still pretty timid on the bike though, particularly when the terrain turns steeply downhill.
• I got a new hydration pack. My old Camelbak was cut off me when I broke my collarbone. The new one (a The North Face Megamouth 18) is dead good.
• I went to the pub to join in Andy W's birthday celebrations. I don't actually go to pubs much any more, so it is kind-of worth mentioning.

Like I said, this is a list of things I've done rather than a post with a point. But someone was complaining about my lack of updates. For a clue, look at what I've named my journal - I called it that for a reason...
