Today I'm feeling a little scared. That's not unusual for me. I have some stuff to organise career-wise and its stressing me a little. But I'm just going to DO it and try and stay calm the whole time. Calm calm calm will be my new mantra.

I have fallen off the healthy-eating wagon and am struggling to get back on. Damn you Cadbury twirls!...

1. Im back from a whole heap a frolics. Went to the Highland Festival at Bundanoon. Completely awesome. Pipe bands, haggis and caber tossing - whats not to love?
2. Ironfest was similarly funky - blacksmiths, metalworkers, jewellers and other incredible craftspeople combined with actual-real-live-jousting-with-metal-tipped-lances. Crazy good. Medieval type crazy good. Even though it poured with rain me and the boys were in good spirits....
