i meant to do this journal over a week ago but life's been pretty hectic. i was in bristol for jftw, then at my parents, then glasgow and finally birmingham before coming home. i haven't done that much travelling in a long time so it's taking me a while to recover from it. as fun as it's all been, it's caused me a huge pain flare-up which is never nice.

just fur the weekend was amazing! i made a whole load of new friends, the venue was really nice too and the free hot drink station was one of the best bonuses. i didn't feel bored once, for a small con there was always something to do or someone to talk to. they're planning on running again next year and i'll be going along- hopefully some of you will as well because it'd be nice to see it grow.

after that i visited my parents for a couple of days. not much to say there other than it was nice to see my family again - i only see them about three times a year now. although it's still weird that my old bedroom is now my dad's office, even though i moved out eight years ago. i was meant to head back home for a couple of days but ended up staying at my parents longer. i then found out my train to birmingham was much earlier than expected so i spent the night in glasgow. i managed to get a fancy hotel on the cheap!

last weekend i was in birmingham. the yogscast were doing a live stage thing at the gadget show so justsmith and i decided to go see it. we also queued for a while to meet them, but it's worth it when it's something you really like and gives you a lot of entertainment. i may have splashed out on a t-shirt and a couple of wristbands as well... oops.

and now i'm home. got a bunch of prep for confuzzled to do and less than seven weeks to do it. that may not seem a lot but i'm still waiting on a bunch of stuff to arrive so i can get working on it and justsmith needs to work around having a full time job. onwards!
