lesson 38.9: its my birthday and i'll walk 10 miles to southwold if i want to!
wahey! thats right! 2day i am 26 years old!
me and a few friends walked down the east coast from my home town of lowestoft to the nice, smaller town(ish) of southwold.
its about 10 miles (apparently) and took us 3 hrs 10 mins, which i think was quite good goin.
i hav gone a bit photo mad this post but i think they r all good ones so i hope u enjoy.
this was the view as we left lowey on our merry way. it was very windy on route but it was behind us all the way! oh yeah! easy street ; )
look @ those guys...haha. this pic makes em look lik they r lookin 4 penguins in the arctic, or is it the antarctic?! argh, the tundra!
just as we arrived in southwold we saw this car. its very strange cos it seems to hav just bin crashed on the beach, how does a situation lik this actually come about?
so, i got my lunch bought 4 me by the boys (a big thanku 2 them 4 that) and then i had 2 rush home 2 do sum work : (
later, leon popped ova with a 12" lookin present, guess what it was? u got it! RECORDS! mmm, i lov records and these r real special ones. sum nice big beat to keep my foot tappin.
mum made me a lovely cake...
that bad-boy tastes really good 2.
and she put up my special banner that she made when i was very young...
and me in the mirror, look there i am!
so, all in all, quite a surreal birthday, i suggest every1 has a 26th just to see if it feels as surreal to them.
thanks 2 all the 'happy bithday's' i had 2day and of course a big boomshanka-birthday 2 gumbo who also has his birthday 2day,
peace out,
monkey love x

lesson 38.8: local girl turns out a guddun!went 2 c beth orton in norwich the other evenin, there she is, a bit blury mind, but hey, its the best i could do @ the time.
she was very good. she played quite a few songs as well, i was quite surprised/ bored. no, no, just kiddin, she was great!
she had a few failed attempts @ tellin jokes as well. i dunno if its part of her routine cos when i saw her @ glastonbury a few years bak she did it then as well. hmmm...
one other thing that i always thought was myth is that she IS from norwich. wow! although her 'local' accent sounded a bit more west country than east coast! just gotta find out if tim 'BOOM! u need this in your life!' westwood is from lowey and my life will b complete.speakin of local musical talent, guess who i was standin next 2 in the bank the other day? huh? huh?! no? only self confessed chav drummer sammy from channel 4's hit lowey rockumentary 'rock school'.
oh yeah! i think he was cashin his giro ; )
on a slightly different subject i gotta say how much i am lovin the 'IT crowd' [im not a channel 4 rep, honest...although if they do need any help just gimme a buzz yeah?!]
goth noel fielding is a stroke of genius!
right, laterz peeps x
