I'm not using this anymore really. It's been over two years. To condense it, stuff happened, got married, went travelling, more stuff happened, kind of working, became a crossfitter, took up the guitar, did more travelling and oh, I have a site now. Shameless plugginghttps://

And hardly anyone does anymore! I blame facebook. I mean, that's why I disappeared off this thing for several months, I wasn't even lurking either!

Ow! So I'm thinking armour for my knees next. Good plan. Yes, I think so ( Read more... )

Okay, this is entirely silly, it's been way too long since I updated this. I am alive, in case anyone was worried and I'm okay.
