The birthday round the corners just the same....

I think I have found my new quote for this blog.

I'm not 31, I'm 18 with 13 years experience - Unknown Author

My birthday is just around the bend and I know I am slowly going round it too. It only seemed like a few flash moments ago that I was learning to ride my first bike without it's stabilisers in Minerstown Caravan Park. I needed to learn, and I needed to learn fast. There was a bunch of older kids who "owned" that Park and had cleverly labelled themselves the Bmx Bandits. This was their patch. Doing ride-by stone throwing and general bullying that Nelson Muntz would be proud of, except without the trademark HA HA after ward. Needless to say I learnt fast and I was able to pull wheelies and bunny-hops that was nowhere near Matt Hoffman style but impressive for an under 10 year old. Those Bandits had met their match, well until I fell off and scabbed my knee and needed urgent mother attention.

On reading that back to myself, I realised that it wasn't what I initially intended to blog about, but hey ho... it's how my mind wanders at times.

All I have to do now is await a birthday dinner and cinematic adventure (Hellboy 2 to be accurate, can't wait)
