Spring is in the air...
On Sunday I wore shorts for the first time this year (not including football shorts)!! I was quite excited by this because it means that spring is almost upon us and after spring comes summer and Australia!! But between now and that time is a hell of a lot of work and preparation, not to mention the BFUK trip.
At the moment I have a part time job working in the Bishopston pub I mentioned in a previous blog but hopefully my hours should increase as I progress through training and experience. It is a bit frustrating only working part time at the moment, although it does leave my days free to do some BoardFree related research. I have got a lot of money to raise and so could do with a few more hours soon! The job is going well and I feel like I am mastering the art of pint pulling. My shamrocks need a bit more work but apart from that I haven't made any serious errors yet!
My day tomorrow is free until the evening so I will be dedicating it to researching skate shops/parks and cycle/inline clubs along the BFUK route because I didn't have time over the weekend and also took my friend Chris to hospital for a check-up today.
I should mention that Chris managed to break his little finger in 3 places, 50 minutes into his rugby debut. He was playing in a charity game organised by his work and luckily I was there to catch all the action on video (photos below)! If any one would like to see a copy of the video then just let me know and I can email it to you! The doctor at Morriston hospital today was particularly unhelpful and the long drive up there coupled with the 45 minute wait for a 30 second consultation all seemed a bit pointless. But anyway, Get well soon Chris!!

In two days, Holly our photographer will be joining Dave, Becki and myself in sunny Swansea for the first time. To celebrate this occasion a mass skate along the seafront for about 10 miles is being organised! This will give people a chance to understand just what kind of a challenge Dave is going to face as well as providing us with some great footage of a growing longboarding community in Swansea.
Other exciting news is that another celebrity has shown their support for Dave (and Elsa) in the form of an email. Ellen MacArthur generously took time out of her busy schedule to send Dave a little message which can be seen on the BoardFree website.
Keep an eye on the website for breaking news!! http://www.boardfree.co.uk/

Ok, I do this with Becki so I'm going to do it with everyone. Dan. Spelling time: A lot is two different words. Preparation, not prepEration. And Australia. Where are we going? Not Austrailia. Oh no. But nice blog, mate!!
I thought Morrisons was a supermarket chain not the name of a hospital??!!
You crazy fool, it's Morriston Hospital!
Anywho, hope the pint pulling is going well. Work those muscles baby!
xx xx
Ooops!! Maybe thats why we took so long to be seen and the doctor was so rubbish!!
He was about 12 and spotty!
Send one broken finger video clip my way dear boy! Sounds awful.
If you want more hours at the pub you should come up with some profitable business ideas. Like beer miles - every bag of crisps you buy equals an inch of beer!
hmm is it me or does Ginger Chris look like The Shermanator from american pie eh?
