Culmination of the Abseil

Big boy modeling the T-shirt of achievement

Self Explanatory really

Yes you know when you have achieved because,

1) You feel on a natural 'High'
2) You have earned some respect from your peers
3) You are handed a certificate to state clearly what you have achieved


and lastly


4) You get the T-shirt to say what you have done for all to see whilst wearing it


and above shows I have achieved 1 - 4 quite well I think

onwards and in the case of Abseiling, downwards......

Update for the Abseil

Just in case it was all forgotten he is me doing my bit for charity

Well ok now finally the red cross have cashed my cheque, raised a grand total of £122 for them and had what I can only still say was a brilliant day, apparently I now qualify for a letter and t-shirt which is cool

next year I may look at another stunt type thing for a charity as of yet unknown

but for this year I am happy at what I have done

all is good in the world though tonight no Rundblicks German Tutorial, which is a shame I do enjoy that online Lyceum

anyway updates as and when.....

Abseiled oh yeah

Another one for the wall, achieved more this year than in the last ten

Its downwards and its the only way you're going

Is there any other T-shirt I should have worn?

Well the back held out (ached later), the knee's were a tad unstable, but I did it anyway

and I feel alive again in so many ways, great feeling, great buzz, just extremely happy right now


Updates as and when

Apprehension at the thought of the drop

Arts a bitch, but anybody can do it, welcome the Iconic Che GueMicky (No revolution needed)

Tomorrow brings forth the sponsored Abseil and am I apprehensive?


Apprehension?! No I do not think so it is a word I cannot comprehend (flicks through dictionary..........nope still cannot grasp it..;-D) , I hope I can step up and be what I am, a man

BUT MORE I hope this is another step in redefining or finding my true self

this last year through the eduction I have found weaknesses and strengths in my being, but I looked harder and found that over burdened scared and oft at times weak 14 year old (yes it is time to deal with it), yes the potential was always there.............but oh how pitifully it was left untapped or pushed forward

and now 37 years old my mind barely retains my days exploits, but I am still trying and it seems succeeding in many area's

Tomorrow will be the first of many tests of character that are long overdue, my 'coming of age' was spent dealing with and then hiding from death

I have not beaten Death into submission, but I aim to again face him head on and perhaps (quote Blackadder) tweak his nose

Seriously I have learned that death is easy, everybody will do it and it takes very little to achieve

Now LIVING, thats the challenge, and yes I have lived, but now I will live twice as hard because I have to and can and to feel alive occasionally you must do the silly and maybe dangerous to stare death in the eye's

Then and only then is life the most precious thing we have

Onwards and upwards (well downwards Tomorrow)

till next time

Tommorow, it arrived

Start Point Lighthouse
which was worth the visit

Me just catching a breather on the way to Start Point Lighthouse, it was a beautiful day out

And lo said the highest of the high, it is good and it was............................


Seriously all is sweet, the blues are past me, the memories of those gone now sated for another year, I step boldly forward and I'm ready for the next chapter of My life


and so here is the update so far

1) Attended Tutorial for Maths now head fully round the things I found hard, I am rolling baby yeah.

2) Second to last I.T.Q. today, all results brilliant and I am just now await my project assessment and we are done, finite, now sit and wait a few months for the cert which I have earned.

3) Not long now till the German G.C.S.E. I can not wait to start using Ich verstehe nicht till the exam....;-D


Anyway the bold move forward and so I am slowly returning to my former self (mentally at least) thus it is no shock that I will be throwing myself with rope off a 120 foot building in the name of charity, abseiling for charity, I could think of nothing else I would have doctors telling me I should not be doing

No fear, except maybe there is just a little, which just equates to me feeling so alive again

Update done, next one as an when C.M.A. 44 due in on the 13th

Next Tutorial for Maths is the 19th

oh yeah positive a go go
