Oh, hello there..

Hello It has been a crazy few months, but I'm back again..

Thankfully, I am now no longer unemployed, having started a new job in April at a Film PR company... so far, so good. You may be pleased (or not bothered) to know that I've also been continuing with my list

14) Go to a music festival
Tickets almost booked.. hoping to go to Latitude in a few weeks time.. we shall see.

17) Book Update
I've finished Hamlet, and currently halfway through The Canterbury Tales.. reviews to follow.


21) Go to the Olympics

Tickets booked! I will be going to the Olympics on the 11th August.. I did, however go to the London Prepares Series just in case..

Date: Saturday 5th May 2012
Venue: Riverbank Arena, Olympic Park
Fixture: Men’s Hockey, Germany VS India
Days til the Olympics: 82 days

I had the exciting experience of visiting the Olympic Park for the first time. What a day! I won’t lie and tell you I’m a huge sports fanatic, but as the Olympics will be taking place an hour from my house in a few months time it would be rude not to pay the park a visit.

Anyone who knows me will vouch for the fact that I have serious navigational issues.Thankfully the people of 2012 were warned in advance and had lined the roads from the tube station with a bountiful supply of volunteers wearing pink foam fingers pointing in the right direction.

A warning for anyone who doesn’t like exercise… the park is HUGE. I think it’s a good ploy to get us all fit on our way to see the various events. After our epic walk to the Riverbank Arena, I purchased a rather large hotdog and made myself comfortable in my slightly damp seat (alas, there was no roof!).

What a game! I found myself rooting for the Germans (mainly due to the fact that I had found a picture of the star player in my programme and he was rather beautiful) but it was well played by both teams. Great atmosphere, great views of the pitch (even sat up in the Gods) and GREAT bottoms (forgive me, I can’t resist a man in Hockey shorts!).

Alas I did not score.. but the Germans did and won 2-1, bravo! If you haven’t got tickets, then it looks like they’ll be opening the park to show events on big screens and whatnot. I would highly recommend the experience not only for the eye candy, but because it’s not every day the Olympics turns up on your doorstep, is it?

23) Get back on a Bike
Lessons booked! In two hours from now, I will be getting back on a bike for the first time.. so watch this space. Hopefully I won't be typing one handed when I get back.. eek!

So there you have it.. I'm back in the game (so to say) .. and will update again soon x
