Ow, my ankle!

October 23rd, 2007 by mike

As a follow up to the previous post, my 2nd dan did not go as planned :(

Whilst the first part of the grading went ok, I knackered my ankle by landing on it badly whilst doing some bag work. Needless to say, I was not a happy chap, as I will have to do the rest of the grading at some point in the future.

Which means I’ll have to keep fit, instead of gorging myself during the run up to Christmas. I actually bought a four-pack of Peeterman Artois (I’m not much of a drinker) to celebrate finishing the grading, so those will be left untouched until I do…

Meanwhile, I’m still coding up the site for a friend (and I may have a couple more to do), piddling about on the XBox enjoying Stranglehold and falling back in love with Guitar Hero, and generally staying on top of life. I am, obviously, spitting bullets that Gordon Brown sold us down the river in Lisbon, but I believe we are finally in for a change of Government at the next election - thank goodness.

The “I’ve been busy” post

October 9th, 2007 by mike

Well, it’s been a while since my last post. Basically, I’ve been training for my 2nd dan and doing a site for a good friend. There is naturally plenty going on in the world that I’d love to give my oh-so-important views on (Burma, Gordon Brown bottling an election, fix term elections, driver’s skill [or lack of it] in Derbyshire, etc.), but until my 2nd dan is over, it’ll have to wait…
