Last night I stayed up till 2am to watch the Ice Hockey, glad I did though as my team won 3-0 against their rivals so got to be pleased about that. Woke up around 9am. Didn't really do much today, just chill out a little. I had to go out for around 2PM so didn't do much before that.



I got to speak to Eve again today and she asked me if I wanted to say hello to her brother, Leo. To be honest I didn't really know what to say but said yeh ok, I guessed he would maybe say thanks for the cds. Turns out that almost all her family where there. My mic doesn't work so couldn't talk much, but we saw each other. I also saw her mum and dad and got to wave lol that was kind of weird but they seem nice. I enjoyed speaking to and seeing Leo, it was cool to see how happy he was about the CDs. I think he got a bit excited though, but he seems cool. I guess I never really thought about it until now, but the accident must have been bad. It is a shame that happens to anyone never mind someone young. It kind of makes it scary that in a split second something that is nothing to do with you can immediately change your life.

Anyway I am sure he will recover fully, he seems very bright with a lot of fight in him and when I get over their I will do anything I can to help him. It is the least I can do. He called me his big brother-in-law today which was cool and I am sure we two will get along fine, we share interests in music and basketball.



After that I went to meet my old Spanish friend Miguel. We had lunch with some other Spanish people. It was good to catch up with him it has been a while. He has travelled a lot and we chatted about that and he was very supportive. It was a fun time. After eating we went to a quaint little tea room to have more chat. Miguel told me that when I go to Taiwan I should fly to Madrid, then fly from Madrid to Taiwan. He invited me to stay at his place. Maybe when the time comes I will look into that.

I then said goodbye and headed to Cineworld to watch Jackass in 3D. I went in alone which was a little weird. While I was sitting there I felt strange, this was the first time of going to cinema without Evelyn. So I sat there and was filled with memories of all the times we would go to the cinema and talk or play around before the movie started. Tonight though I had a kind of alien feeling, you know kind of like out of place or like something was not quite right. The movie was kind of funny in bits, really stupid and disgusting in others, but I had wanted a no-brainer and in 3D was a bonus lol



Today it has rained really heavy non-stop almost so I didn't get a chance to capture an image or two today, so when I came home I thought I would do a self-portrait for fun lol, hence the reason for the pics. I didnt set up the lighting, I just played around with some stuff. In the end I shot with my cable release and hand held my flashgun to increase the lighting. Then I thought it would be fun to make the pic black and white and colour pop the very iconic red and blue lenses of the glasses.

Tomorrow I play Flag Football and I am really looking forward to it.
