Day 82 Hack 2 Hole

This morning I headed out to do a little bit of work for a friend who has set up a Golf Society that is open to all, in their own words they aim to bring together disabled and able bodied golfers to help improve their game. Their aim is for inclusiveness not exclusiveness. This morning they had their first competition of the year, so I headed along to take some promotional shots for them.
The fact that these guys went ahead and played today shows how serious they are about their inclusiveness, the temperature when I arrived was 1ºC and that quickly dropped to zero. Just as the guys headed out to tee off a flurry of snow started and the wind was whipping across the course, which was the very open Newcastle United Golf Course (http://www.newcastleunitedgolfclub.co.uk) so I wasn't at all envious as the intrepid tensome set off in three groups.

My picture today is of Hack2Hole organiser Paul Watson teeing off at the first, I have to tell you this was his second attempt at teeing off, sorry Paul, with his first attempt going 30 yards forward and left into the rough, must have been the pressure of the camera!

Wrap up warm folks, its a cold one.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Long time no post. Guess that is a good thing since I only really post when I'm not doing too well. So whats up this time, Post Christmas blues. Constantly being overlooked, used when it suits others. Pretty much fed up. No time to myself, no time to do what I enjoy. But I guess that is my life now. Don't get me wrong I love my little girl to pieces but it gets slightly tiresome when everything I do is wrong and she wants her mummy because I'm "upsetting" her. Yes thats right the words of a 2 year old. I'm upsetting her. Why she doesn't just get a knife and stick it in my heart and twist it I don't know.
Yes I know, she doesn't mean anything by it and I am probably just being a big tart but that is more to do with where I am at the moment than anything else. I just want a break, life to say, yeah you've busted a gut here's a reward for it. But I really can't see it happening.

Anyway thats me for now, I smell a pooey nappy that needs changed.

Amazing....

... a post that is being made at a normal hour.

There isn't really any sort of reason for it either. I just thought I should post something. So whats going on with me? I've made a decision to do something kinda major. I'm setting myself a target of completing the Great North Bike Ride next year, which means a lot of hard work between then and now and hopefully a bit of lost weight, not sure I could drag this hulking great frame for 50 odd miles in one day any time soon. So I'm just waiting for my cycle to work vouchers then cycle it is. At least 3 times a week. I may even make Christine fine me any week that I don't complete at least 10 miles on the bike.
So how is my mood I hear you all ask? (No fucker reads this who am I kidding) Its not too bad at the minute although my wife would probably say different, I'm pretty up and down to be fair but its more like a really tame kids rollercoaster rather than a big American thrill ride, so that does me. Hopefully the exercise will help.
Oh and a bit of good news I have a new phone, I'm now the proud owner of an HTC Diamond, which means if the mood so takes me I can even update this blog wherever the hell I am.
I also have a photography blog going on somewhere but can't remember the address of it at the moment, when I can remember I'll post a link, for now...... Ta ta

Its been a while since I posted and I'm up and about at silly hours on my own, actually its not too bad its not past midnight yet.
Well things at the minute aren't too shabby, don't get me wrong they aren't great but they aren't bad either. Work sucks cock, I think I'm heading back to the sort of work load I had just before my mini breakdown but appear to be coping with it better. Either that or I really don't care anymore.
The stress of the vipers presentation was a bit of a pain last weekend but I'm trying not to take criticism too personally but to be honest it is tough, I put a lot of hard work in and people just shoot it down in flames.
Actually I have some more work to do on it so should probably go and do that instead.

Till next time

Paul
