Its certainly been a while, hasn’t it?! 

Life has been pretty hectic and trying to blog everything I did got a bit of a chore, so I’m back with a new outlook on blogging - only blogging when I think its interesting and worthwhile, which is pretty much what I should have been doing from the start.  This is by no means a New Years Resolution to make sure that I blog regularly, but probably to make the effort to do it more often.

Since last time then, courses and exams completed to become a qualified member of the AAT, I’ve taken on two positions within the Great Ouse Kite Flyers committee, one of which is editor of the newsletter - which is one of the things that has been taking up a considerable amount of time every couple of months, pretty interesting though.  Work has been quite “interesting” for some time, leaving me temporarily short staffed, but hopefully can only improve.  Christmas and New Year celebrations are all now over, one more day off work left.  The kitchen has at moments been totally overtaken by cakes and cake decorating, for parties and for gifts - if nothing else I love the excuse that Christmas gives me to be a bit creative in the kitchen!

Main reason for resurrecting the blog now, is that work has begun once again on Project DS, all the panels are now completely attached.  Next job is to attach a ”D” ring to each of the points (all 40) and four more in the middle - this could take some time, a couple of hours work left me with 7 D rings attached.  Stephen, true to form, couldn’t wait to see what it was going to look like, so rigged up one side of the kite onto the spars with electrical tape - unfortunately it is too big to stand up in the living room assembled!  Guess what I’ll be doing on my last day off tomorrow…..
