Merry Christmas

It's probably a little late for a Xmas blog in Britain but anyone in America and that way it might just about be fit for. Anyway Merry Christmas to everyone.

Ok day for me, i have just been relaxing all day(all you can do after Xmas dinner) and watching movies. Have picked up the bass for the first time in a while, that put a big smile on my brothers' face as we've been as loud as we could be for about 2 hours.

The food has been great as always and on time which was nice. Am now looking forward to cycling it all off again at the end of the week. The snow also didn't happen like I'd hoped even though it's cold enough for it. Other than no snow it's been an ok day.

As far as Christmas more so than new year's means to me. It's a time to look back and see how much i've achieved over the year. Not much. The real important achievement is the state of mind that i can now appreciate as healthier and happier one. You can't achieve this on your own. So i'd like to say thanks to everyone who's helped me get this far, i had a lot of doubt that i could ever have felt happy after the last couple of years.

Thanks everyone, and i big Xmas cheer from me!

I had a go at some mountain biking yesterday, it went great and was lots of fun. Me and nick(brother) went riding in the woods near home trying to find some good downhills to race each other on. When i started going down the first hill it was really muddy and when i almost hit a tree at the bottom i started to think that it was a mistake. I was soon reassured though when we saw something incredibly beautiful. We came out of the first wood into a field, struggled across to the end and i realised that my gloves were missing. It started raining and we turned round to go get them when a rainbow formed just in front of us. Their we were the sun in the field, the shadows of us sitting on bikes and the rainbow over our heads. The end of the rainbow was in the same field as us. I've never seen anything quite as inspiring in my life.
After that moment it was time literally for some down to earth moments for me, as in the next wood a fell off twice in the space of 2 minutes. Firstly down a muddy bank and then into a small stream where i got drenched all down one side. We had lots of fun getting real mudded up racing one-another through the woods almost hitting trees and riding down sets of steps. It was brilliant, the only tuff part was peddling through mud and pushing the bike up the banks on the way home after four hours of riding. It gets you fit!
When we made it home though we had a nice big Sunday dinner waiting for us, which made us think that this is what Sunday is all about.

Hitting the nineteenth and putting another year away in the bag. Can't quite believe it, especially when i end up looking back on old photos of when i was just one. Lots has changed but then some things haven't, like my daft grin and that me, brother and sister are still together and best friends as always.

As a treat i thought i'd buy myself a mountain bike to get fit on and get lots of excitement flying through woods and over jumps. It's got to be my best idea as far as keeping my moral high. I'm really excited about it and constantly looking on the Internet to see all the things i can try. Speaking of all the things i can try, yesterday Emma brought up the idea of doing the coast to coast cycle which sounds just brilliant. So far i've a fire lit under me anticipating of all the exciting stuff i'm gonna get up to next year. Instead of getting blind drunk on new years, this year i'll be quietly looking forward to the new year.


Here's the bike. It looks great for jumping.

Thanks for the birthday card Emma E, Mandy and Emma B it made me have a sweet chuckle to my self this morning.
Also thanks to Emma b for the diary. Now i can start writing down some of the things i want to try next year.

Excellent!

Trying to get in the Christmas spirit seems to be getting harder and harder each year. It certainly doesn't seem to be as easy as the movies make it look. Our house is completely dormant so far as Christmas lights and spirit go, if it wasn't cold and dark you wouldn't think it was anywhere near Xmas. Even with the lights up everywhere it just doesn't feel the same, but i gather that's just getting older. However just because i'm not in the Christmas spirit i'm gonna put all the lights up anyway just to annoy the old man and bro. I do think however that if only it would snow before instead of after Christmas i might feel better. As usual though it will snow in march and then i'll say "It feels like Xmas" n someone else will say, "you've got another nine months to wait till then." So really i could do with finding a way now in order to get me feeling great for Christmas day. Who knows though maybe the whisky will do it!
