Board NOW

After much deliberation and concern I've had to 'cancel' my order for my beautiful stunning red TVS board. How gutted am I.
The website states worldwide delivery within 1-3 working days and that all orders shall be processed and shipped within 48 hours of receipt! All I've received from them was the confirmation of receipt of order on the day I ordered it. I've tried emailing four different emails and three of them bounced back. I tried calling the USA at their store...it's disconnected. Looks like someone's shut up shop and forgotten to tell anyone. Grrrr.
So browsing around, convinced I'm never going to find another equally as brilliant board I came across this beauty.....

Being a girl and all, I wanted something that would fulfill my ideal of a girls longboard. This is perfect. Minimalist. Feminine. Elegant. Oh yes. That's cheered me up no end today, especially as it was on sale for $34!!!!!!! Back of the net!
I've seen a few other nice boards that I wouldn't mind investing in, but I think I'll wait until I'm used to this one. Good thinking batman!

I've dyed my hair brown as you can see from the photo in the previous post. It was semi permanent though so it's now fading and I've got a weird auburn tinge to it. Which is kind of cool seeing as I was born auburn...so I'm told! But I decided I wasn't going to spend the best part of £100 getting my hair professionally highlighted and it'd be far easier to let it do it's own thing. This was reiterated by the fact I'm going to Oz for four months and there won't be any hairdressers in the middle of the desert!

This weekend has been great. Nat and I trundled into London on Saturday morning to meet up with Dave for a roll around Hyde Park. Whilst Nat was wiggling around the mini slalom course, Dave and I went to get some shots. I've developed a severe passion for flare at the moment and I took some smashing shots of Dave and Elsa. You'll see! I'm going to burn them all to disk and take them up to Swansea with me when I go up on Thursday. As well as the list of schools en route for BoardFree UK.
Holy schmokes! It's only 26 days until it all kicks off. How excited am I!!!! Eeeeeee.

I got my visa application form through the post the other day too! I'm going through it very slowly to make sure i get everything right. The sooner i get it sorted that means there's one less thing to think about with preparation!

Something that might make people either chortle or worry about my mental health...I got a forward from Dave about a skate happening this weekend. But in this email as I scrolled down was an email from a photographer about shoots....for a split second I felt a twinge in my tummy. It's gotten to the point where I feel totally attached to boardfree...is it possible to marry something like that? Although I spose it's Dave's baby, so I'd be Dave's daughter in law...or something! Anyway, I giggled about my weird feelings that I've not felt before. I guess I felt like a psycho girlfriend. And just cast my thoughts to oasis's and mirages in the desert.

And..and anddd!!! I've got my hoodie!!! It might be a pathetic thing to get happy about....but it makes me feel oh so proud to wear it and to be part of the team.


All the best guys and dolls,

A proud BoardFree Holly
