23rd

Slow week, Training day wasnt really training as i was told. It was actually an excersice which slightly annoys me as i didnt take all the kit i should have, but it didnt matter anyway, i got lucky all i did was pick some rifles up and sit around in a hanger all day while the other people sat around and walked, stood guard, drove, patroled.....lucky eh?
Work is going ok, like i say alot better than MPA making decent food that tastes reasonable.
After ''training'' i went rock climbing with some of the instructers from hillside, was good to get back onto a wall. Not climbed in a long time so took a while to get loose. But i got there and pushed the boundries. Its crazy how youve got to be on your toes all the time, i let my mind slip for one second while i was belaying one of the guys and he fell off, in a split second he was coming down the wall, luckly instincts kicked and i locked the rope off in time, but the sudden stop caused me to fly quarter way up the wall, the other guy was almost touching the ground. Luckly nothing broken, no one hurt. I appologised and he said ''no worries, it happens. Sometimes it takes things like this to remind you of things, things that you already know but have forgotten'' Its true, people become lazy in there ways or rely on othere. I thought because this guy was an instructer he knew his limits and woundn't fall. Which make you think alot. or it does me anyway. Boundries are ment to be broken and pushed, bent and reshaped. Or else we would just live in a boring one track world. Rock climbing is one thing i would love to get back into, profectionally. Maybe one day..... I remember how much fun i used to have back before i joined the forces rock climbing, nothing serious all for the laughs. Pushing when you wanted too.

So i recently found out that if i did my bike licence here i can transfer it to my uk licence later on and hold a full uk bike licence, Which is great considering you do it all on a 125 bike around stanley the sleepy little port... Bargin £150 in total including bike, training and test. Why the hell not i suppose, i'll use it one day, still got my old bike locked up in a garage at home should run with some clean petrol, sell that and buy something bigger.

Well that about it really, ploughing through battlestar at a fast pace, was on guard friday night and watched a whole season. With it being a friday night i knew i wouldnt get much sleep anyway so i though what the hell. Stay up and burn away the hours. I was day off saturday so it wasnt like i needed the sleep to do anything. I am totally suprised that i didnt end up about being attacted by cylons in my sleep...strange your thinking i know.



Sometimes i wonder what it would be like to live in a different time. In the past, just to experience what life was like back then, the music, the ways of life, the smells of the city. When money was actually worth something and you had to work hard for it.

Off to stick a film on now in the mess. laters x
