The blue van WOman!

Right, so, it's been a while. I apologise, profusely!!!!
I've been getting up to lots these past few weeks. It's all so very riveting!
Let me see! I got Nat to make me up a diary so i can hand write a little bit of my thoughts as well as blogging it all out! Well, actually, the diary was to enable all my family at home to write notes in and encouraging thoughts etc. Nat went the whole hog and gave me games to play on random pages.
So this week i spent three days looking after a set of eleven month old twins. It was nice at first, but then the novelty wore off...one of them got ill and i realised i couldn't do it full time at the moment. Maybe in a few years but at the moment i've got my whole life ahead of me and i'm faaaar too young to be tying myself down! But hell, i've changed my first ever nappy, burped a baby, fed a baby, and swaddled a baby to sleep!

I've been learning a lot really! Today i arrived in Prestwick to stay at the vw man's house. Dave and Joyce are such lovely people. Really can't believe we've been so lucky to find them. For someone to be so giving and so kind is rare and we're so appreciative! He's given us a camp stove, matches and a torch to take with us in the van. She's gorgeous! Really, i mean gorgeous! I feel so honoured to drive it!!!
We've got most of our stuff loaded in now. And it's the evening in Prestwick. We're sat in the conservatory of Dave and Joyce looking over the airport. Lots of pretty lights surrounding us of which the subtle glow of the our support vehicle is appearing in the window...ok ok so it's not radio active but it's so purrrty!!!
I learnt where the alternator is, fan belt and everything!!!!

Me and Dan were trying to figure out how to turn a light off in the van....we're so pathetic, all it was is that we weren't slamming to door shut hard enough. Toughen up guys!!!
I tell you what, power steering sure as hell makes a difference! I've never driven a vehicle without it and it hurts my arms big time!!! Also, note to self=diesel...not petrol!!!

So prior to playing with alarms and lights and alternators i caught a direct train to Glasgow then one to Prestwick. On the first trip there were about ten Glasweigan chavs all drinking wife beater (stella) ranting on about how great they are and how hard they are. All they were, were ugly army boys home for the weekend. Quite insignificant in the grand scale of life!
Nat packed my bag because all i do is scrunch things up and jam them in. He's bet me £15 that i won't be able to fit everything back in by the time i get back! I haven't unpacked yet!!! Hahaha.

We're picking Dmitry (half of the tv crew that will be joining our boardfree banter) from Glasgow tomorrow. A 7am start! Let's see how that goes!!! Then i get to see Si again in Inverness. He's flying in!!! How cosmopolitan of him! All the team haven't been together since it was my application day in Hyde Park and i wasn't in the team yet. It'll be great to get a bit of footage...be it still or other of us all together. can't wait!

So...today's conclusion.....
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Blog you later (i'm so cool!)
