Within my very hectic lifestyle ( my own choice ) at the moment i thought i would take a few moments for some updates, it seems an age since i last wrote in my blog. I will also update my other blog, the more TSD related one.
Unfortunately the last couple of weeks has been a mixture of Happiness and Sadness, which has left me at times elated, and others deeply upset. Its been a very confusing and awkward time, and im not sure if ive coped with it as well as i should. I hurt bad. 
however i dont want to start writing my blog again and start with negativities and such. Any readers that there may be on this site will know me well enough to know what happened and so i dont want to write it all down again. Needless to say though, thanks to everyone for their help and friendship.
So whats been happening in the world of the Viper?
Well, ive been a very busy boy, i decided to organise a summer camp this year ( after many years of threatening to do it ) and now the venue is booked ( a nice hostel in Devon ) and the schedule is pretty much set, im currently designing the T-Shirts for the event and then all i have to do is get the places sold and my teaching manual for the weekend completed, with two 4.30 starts its going to be a tough weekend for all involved but im sure they will battle through it and take something great away with them.
Rumours are that i may be grading in November, this fills me with absolute dread, its been a while since ive had to face the test of a Traditional Grading and im not sure what to expect, needless to say im starting to take training very seriously devoting selfishly much more time to my own development as well as revisiting the gym to rebuild cardio ( which isnt that bad ) and strength ( is that bad 
) – Im dreading the whole thing ( if of course i do take it in November ) but am so looking forward to the rewards if i manage to pass.
I recently had a great couple of days away with Hayley as well which hasnt been mentioned here, i cant believe how long it is since ive update this, but we visited the Aquarium in Plymouth and i have to say it was a great couple of days ( inc finding THE best burger bar ever ) the Aquarium was great and we managed to take some awesome photos, most notably the Jellyfish, of which i now want some! Very pretty creatures and awesome to photograph, it took us a while to work out what setting to use and unfortunately my camera ( Olympus E520 ) has a weird strobe flash which it uses to work out what level of flash to use so we had to disable that pretty fast! The day was spent wandering around there and lazing in the sun, which was blazing hot i have to add and generally just having a great couple of days together, something we rarely get to do these days and so when the opportunity arrived it was nice to take full advantage.
Im looking forward to us being able to spend a lot more time together at Seni, something i always look forwards to and this year is going to be just as good as always, we are staying at the West Ham football ground Hotel and as already mentioned, the opportunity to spend that amount of time with Hayley will be great, at the moment it couldnt come fast enough.
Note to oneself: Update more regularly…
Hooray! seni!
