New blinds and curtainsToday Mike and me. Had fun putting up the new blinds and curtains in my new bedroom, that we got from Ikea on Sunday. Well OK, Maybe it was not really that fun. It took a lot longer, that we had planned. When watching DIY TV programmes, they make it look so easy. Well got them up in the end. So that's the main thing.

Today I did something I have, never done before in my whole life. And that was to go up in a hot air balloon. It was great fun. I loved every minute of it. Well once, I was use to it anyway. If you have never been up in a hot air and get the chance. I really recommend that you go for it. Now I just need, to get Mike to go up with me on day. Oh and thanks to my friend Mark, for taken me up in his balloon.

Check out my Stamford photo galley to see some of the photos, that I took them up in the air.

Today I got a Minoura E-RDA 850 Trainer With Remote, for my bike. If you have no idea, what it is. Well I will just tell you. It's a stationary bicycle trainer for training when weather or other factors keep you from riding outside. So in other works, I can keep fit and not have to go outside in cold and wet weather. I have been after one for a while. So was not too sure, which one to go for. But after reading many reviews on-line. I made up my mind, to go with the Minoura E-RDA 850 Trainer. Mainly because it's a rim driven system. So it's does not touch the tire at all. So you don't need to worry about wearing out the tire.

If you want to see some photos of my using it. Then check out pages 17 to 19, of my best webcam images.

Oh and in other news. I was told at work tonight. That from Saturday night. I am being made the Restaurant bar supervisor. Which really did make my night. So means from Saturday night, I get better pay!
