Andy's Blog

Am on the countdown, in hours, to the official start of my hols for this year!  Not sure I am going to be able to dial in at all during this little break, as we will be in the back of beyond in Spain – in splendid isolation in the hills around Madrid.

Plenty of grounds to go cycling in, our own private pool to splash around in….. and probably no wifi that I can hack into to be able to check in on my facebook progress or update my blog whilst bored… EEEeeeekk!!  For the more mentally balanced amongst you this may not present any kind of problem, but for this technofreak – it is.  I’ll be like a junky without his fix.

Looks like I should be coming back a wee bit fitter than I left, and finally get the boys and myself fully trained up in Saifa and Bassai-Dai.

I hate not being part of the “in crowd”, and in that vein of vanity I have re-created my facebook account.  I did have one previously but, deleted it after getting swamped with emails and games, quizzes, pokes and a multitude of other things I didn’t understand.

So…. I am trying it again with a more “open” mind, but with a warning given to me by a very wise man;

“I used to have an open mind, but my brains kept falling out!”
Mr F.

I have taken the plunge, even though I still don’t understand what it is I have plunged into, and created myself a ‘facebook’ profile. It is a somewhat strange feeling when the message “Andrew Stewart has made friends with whomever“.

It’s not the easiest system to get to grips with, and couple that with the fact that I am away on holiday and only able to dial-up over my mobile phone (I am trying NOT to think of what my phone bill will look like!) – I am not entirely sure I am making the most of the system.

I have a small number of friends defined on there, although looking at the number of females some of those friends have on their profiles – I am beginning to feel a little old and questioning my sexuality!!
