Well, it's 1:30am, I should be sleeping, but I seem to be a little adrenaline-fired, possibly to do with a wrestling bout that I had with
Mark which finished 1t 12:45, I believe it went on for approximately 2 hours. I don't know how it started really, initially he and I were fighting with bubbles and water,
Rob got involved, well actually he helped it to escalate by arming me, I wasn't really doing anything until Rob gave me the water pistol. I didn't do so well with the water fighting, mainly because they ganged up on me, which is unfair, at least
Helen took my side a bit. Anyway, we got rid of weapons (after I'd unleashed some shaving foam - from
Hullabaloo, which is why I've been so silent lately, I've been preparing and then carrying out Hullabaloo, that's been very tiring, shaving foam is used to make custard pies and for the game "wotsit-face" - put shaving foam on 2 leaders' faces, children throw wotsits at them, the one to get the most wotsits stuck wins - and some frozen peas) and resorted to just physical contact, I have the weight and low centre of gravity advantage and kept getting Mark pinned in the corner, he said it was because he'd started trapped, so I challenged him to a standing start. In the beginning I was loads better and if we'd stopped after 5 or 6 matches I would have won, I think we were at 6:3 at one point, but in the end we drew 8 all, we were going to first to 10, but suddenly realised how late it was. I'm not sure if it's because Mark had more stamina than me, or because he's better at adapting and working out how to counter my moves, which are a bit predictable.
Anyway, we shall have to have a rematch and since I have his phone (that was my main reason to blog, to say I have your phone Mark, I could email, but where's the fun?) he'll have to return!
The fighting took my mind of something that I hadn't liked that happened today, which I'll mention briefly, but try to gloss over, I had my first car crash, it was very minor, but my fault, so I was feeling a little shaky, so I'm glad I got to muck around and be silly this evening as now I don't care at all about the crash, so what? I crashed, it happens, the people in the other car were pretty good about it really and are even going to get a quote for me first to see if I can pay for it without going through the insurance company, so that's good, it's only the headlights and bumpers that are damaged really. My lights still work completely, even the indicator works, it just lost the glass off the top. Will duct taped the broken bumper for me so it's not sharp. It was good having someone in the car who'd crashed before, because he knew exactly what to do.
So there, right, I think the adrenaline's wearing off, so I'll sleep now. I will try to blog on a more regular basis, but I won't promise anything.
