This Weekend
Okay so since Saturday I have been in Cardiff/London. I came up on Saturday left morning -left at 11:00 arrived in Cardiff at 5:00pm - so long trip - also arrived in Cardiff on the day of a rugby match - madness. On Sunday I went up to Aberdare skatepark - they have just built it and it is sweet - super smooth and fast bowls!!! Then it was Sunday roast with the Fam - My Mother, my Nan and me - really good food - Moms make the best food!!!! On Monday we left to go to London at 8:00am - we had to take the train from Treforest to Cardiff and they where short of 2 carriages - we where like sardines on this train, but once we got to Cardiff is was fast and smooth all the way to Paddington. From there we went straight to Canada Water tube and to the Cafe Gallery - where I handed in 3 of my photo's for the Open exhibition which runs from the 19th Nov till the 10th Dec - so if anyone wants to go and check em out email me and I will give u the details. Thats wa all smooth - but when we got back to Canada Water the tube we need was suffering for delays so we took a different line to Whitechaple - then got stuck there for 30min then finally made it to Barbican - to got to a gallery there to see an exhibition about European photographers. By this point we where starving and had a meal at the gallery. The exhibition was ok but not as good at the Twilight one I had seen a few weeks back. After that we decided to head back to Victoria to avoid rush hour. We had a nice coffee and muffin, read a newspaper and watched people as they walked by. Then made our way back to Cardiff - ohh by the way my Mother came with me - thats what I mean by us.
Today was also another busy day - we went to the DVLA to sort out my drivers license as I need to get a new one, then off to Cardiff for some shopping got a new hat from H&M and a really cool jacket. Bought some food and that and had a chill night at home with the Mom.
Then i am off to Falmouth

Parties and People
Well well - it's been so busy - once again. So lets see it's been a while since I wrote - ahh yes Halloween on Tuesday the 31st - I wasn't really going to go out but decided to pop down to the Cutty Sark for a quick one - was just going to go as a punk - which not hard I have the clothes - but my flatmate who works for the circus managed to persuade me to wear a white cat suits - which I pimped up with a gold chain and devil horns. It was a good night but ruined by the fact that I was coming down with a cold - boohoo. Anyway on Friday the 3rd it was the dealine for my first major project - I did a 6 image sequence story - titled "Cat and Mouse" - conceptual stuff. anyway on that friday we went out for a big one - first a drink at four degrees west - very nice 20-something bar. Then off 2 Watermans - everyone and I mean everyone was out - so it was a really cool vibe. can't remember when we left but it was quite late - but had one last drink at Finn McCools before walking back home - wherer Oli made some super yummy toasted Tea Cakes - They saved my life!!!
Saturday was skate day - Ben,Alan,James and I piled into a car in search of the penzance bowls - on the way we broked into the unfinished Helson skatepark but got kicked out shortly after - although in the car park we spoke to some other skaters who told us to rather go to Hayle - although we did not have a mpa we decided to just try and find it - and of course got lost - in a place called Poo. But we did stumble onto a pretty cool ark in Camborne and had a good sesh anyway. On the Sunday Matt,Louie,Merri,Oli and I took a drive to st Ives - which is really beautiful but must be heaving in summer with tourists - we went to a pub - think it was called The sloopy for a meal and drink - right near the harbour. Had a walk through town - buying a sweeping brush on the way and getting to the beach on the otherside of town - played beach tennis and Louie the mad man decided to swim. We then spent a couple of bob in the arcades - for some reason I am quite good at car games. Then tried to find a good pasty shop - I settled for a gingerbread man. Then on monday we decided to try somewhere new - it was 2 cocktails for £5 at The shed so we decided to go there - which was really nice - they feed us free pizza and chips!!!! and the staff are really friendly - I think I had a Long Island and a Elvis Las Vegas - anyway it was fun. On wednesday it was Petes birthday - he had organised for a get together at blue in town - some of us ate - I had a honey glazed chicken breast with veg - very nice - I think it's the first time I ad ate out since I have been in falmouth. Anyway loads of people came out - Merri thought her bag had been stolen but in fact Rhian had it - Pete had a dirty pint and was pretty sloshed - but it wa his 21st so it's to be expected. We then made our way to Toast - a hip little bar - reminds me of this place in cape down.
Thursday was a early start - SURFING!!!!! Hadn't been in ages - it was so good - even though the surf was really small I had a really good sesh Had some lunch and that - then decided to mission to Truro as I hadn't really been there yet - and it is a city after all and only 20min on the train - it's cute and small but bigger than Falmout - some good bars and shops.
Friday was fill of working - had to get myessay done because i was not going to be back in time for Wednesday - going to London & cardiff yeehaa - 2 see my mother and to hand in 3 prints into the Cafe Gallery for there open exhibtion. Anyway on friday 3 car load's of us decided it would be a good idea to go and watch Borat in Truro - but all the seats wher sold out - so we went to M-I bar for a quick drink. Then went back home and watched some peepshow and had a quite night in.
