Neglecting the blog

I apologise (again) for neglecting the blog. Things have been a bit here there and everywhere for the past week or so.

Last weekend I went on a little jolly for 5 days around the country for various things. The first being a job interview at a Field Studies Council centre near Port Talbot in South Wales. It was quite a nice place but I unfortunately didn't get the job so not really wanting to dwell on it.

I then went from there to Walsall, just north of Birmingham. This was for a. big family get together weekend. It was absolutely wonderful! Friday night was spent Having a curry and then some of us went on to an Irish Bar around the corner. It was a very drunken affair but and my friend left without me so I was banging on the door at 3am to be let in the house!

Saturday was spent getting the train to Birmingham and then going on a canal boat trip. The weather was absolutely beautiful and we had a fantastic time. We then went to a Robbie Williams tribute act at the pub. To be honest drift was shit, but the food was good and we made the best of the situation!

The remaining family troops then went for a carvery on the Sunday before saying our goodbyes for probably another year. The next 'cousins weekend' as we call them has been delegated to the Elder Basons and I to organise here in Burton for my 21st birthday next year. I'm actually beyond excited!

On the Monday I then travelled down to Hampshire for another job interview. to be quite honest I absolutely loved it but won't here anything until the end of this week.

Tuesday and Wednesday were itching special, although we did have a really good BBQ in the evening on the Wednesday with the Engineering Boys.

Yesterday was spent panic buying petrol, except I had a reason to panic. My car was on the red and I was meant to be driving home for Easter... All the other dicks had bought all the petrol for quite some distance, eventually I found out that the Sainsburys in Telford that I didn't even know existed until yesterday had got a delivery that afternoon and I got fuel, packed and got back to the home town at about 9 last night.

I don't usually say this but it is nice to be back this time :) I spent the first full day back with the Boyf and the Elder Basons going to Ikea (rock and roll) which caused me to wish I had my very own house (with the Boyf of course) to decorate and furnish. Some day... We then went home via Lichfield to visit a hi-fi shop and buy invitations for my birthday dinner party.

I'm now going to attempt to watch the first episode of Twenty Twelve on the shockingly slow internet with Mummy Bason.

Take care, one and all!
