Computer goodies!

I decided while I am still a student I needed to make the most of Student discounts, and so I brought Snow Leopard for my mac to update it! (its currently running a really old system!) and I also decided to buy myself Adobe CS5! As I am still using CS2 which I brought when I was at college!! They look so exciting and pretty, but i have to clear all my junk of my computers 1st before I can install them!! That may take some time!!!

St Piran Day

Yesterday was St Piran's day, which is the patron saint of Cornwall and it is thanks to him we have the flag of black with a white cross on it. It was a beautiful sunny day here in Falmouth, but sadly I needed to go into uni (On a Saturday!!!!), so before uni opened at 10 me and Hazel decided to go on a mini adventure bike ride around Fal with my Kernow Flag! Hazel also got attacked by a naughty dog called Esther! HA!
At Swanpool lake

I love this pic! the sun through the flag looks amazing!
Riding behind hazel doing a odd side saddle on the path to Gylly Beach
Such a nice day at the beach!!!
Flying the flag at Gylly
When we got to uni I felt the flag should stay out so I hung it over my work area!

Neoprene Toiling

Yesterday I had a bit of a bad day, I was stressing that my Neoprene still hasn't arrived from China (even though i ordered it in November!!) I was also making a few last alterations to my mens wetsuit and some bits suddenly didn't seem to match anymore so that slowed me down trying to figure that out. I decided to get out my Neoprene I had brought from Uni to start toiling in, and it made me smile because some of the patterns look really odd!! Time to start practicing gluing and blind stitching! hold your breath and wait for pics of this toile made up!!

Amazing water fun!!

This looks like sooooooo much fun!! Water provides the best sports and entertainment!!!

Crazy Patterns!!!

I thought the sleeve pattern on my womens wetsuit was pretty crazy but I think I've trumped it with my Mens wetsuit under arm panel!!

New Shorts!!!

I have been on the hunt for some new shorts for over a year now, but I tend to struggle due to having such long lanky legs!! Womens shorts are always either too short, or massively too wide which look like bell bottoms!!! (or disgusting colours!!!) but today when shopping with friends in Truro, I was bored in Topshop so wandered up to Topman where I was pleasantly surprised to find lots of funky shorts that fitted me amazingly!!!

I fell in love with this pair and ran to the cash desk to buy them!!!

There are many more I'm loving the look of on the Topman website!

Virtual Sailing!

In two weeks time its the Virtual regatta at RCYC, but this time around its inter club! I seem to have become in charge of the team for Restronguet Sailing Club. Although i don't think any of us have ever played it before...could be interesting!! Why do they not make Virtual skipper for macs?! :(


I hope we do well, there are some amazing Henri Lloyd prizes up for grabs!!!
