The past 6 months
It has now been six months since I last updated this journal, far too long!!!
Well, it has been quite a quiet six months but there have been a few notable events.
Ferrets
Recently I had a little trip to Birmingham to look at two ferrets called Bonnie and Clyde. Barney was getting a bit miserable as ferrets do when they are on there own. So I contacted a pet rescue website and found two ferrets in need of a good home. A male and female pair about a year old.
So off I went to Birmingham meeting up with Mhisani on the way and we both went up to see them. We both intermediately loved them and a while later the car was loaded up with cages play toys food and ferrets and we were off back to Clevedon with them all.
This brings the total number I now have to three. They have settled in well and am still setting up a webcam server so eventually they will be on line :o)
House
Work on my house is still ongoing. It started with the bathroom which although not finished yet is going well. I have now a new fence going completely around the whole of the garden. This was an awesome project which I got a proper firm in to do as there was no way I could do it myself. It is just a standard 13 panel 6 foot fence but the special bit is that all the posts are concrete and there is a also 6 inches of concrete going into the ground below the fence line running all the length on the fence.
This now makes the whole garden a massive play area for the ferrets I can let them out and play at will safe in the knowledge that they cannot dig underneath the fence or climb over.
The next things on the list to do, when the bathroom is finished is a new patio then I'll be looking at the kitchen.
Furry
The start of 2008 is seems to be a bit up and down as far as furry is going. I recently attended RBW which I thought was awesome, a big thank you to all who organised it and attended to make it such a brilliant event.
I have also been attending most of the BristolFur meets too. For a local fur meet they are well organised with lots to do and as such well attended and getting bigger. See the uk fur forum under SouthFurs for the next one, or text me.
I missed the first LondonFur meet of 2008 which traditionally I have attended since my first meet back in 2000. This was unavoidable but I will be at the next one and making a long weekend of it as I will be going down to London on the Friday and staying there until Monday.
In the same vane I have now attended all the EuroFurence events since my first in 2000 but this year that is very likely to come to an end. I have registered for this year's event but was a little too late. I am registration number 682. This don't look good as from my calculations there are about 580 places at this year's event so unless 102 furs drop out I will not be going this year. I realistically don't think that is going to happen!
The other major furry event this year which I usually attend and without a small miracle happening I also won't be attending either is Further Confusion. Due to a big screw up on my part I forgot to book the hotel and by the time I realised the hotel was full, along with most of the overflow hotels too. I'm still looking but if I don't end up going I might look at something like MFF, MFM or even Anthrocon this year.
New Year
Happy New Year to all!!!
I was in Southampton this year for new year. At a house party at the home of tktiger, beaitchtwo, bungle_bear and xavierwolf2007 and attended by, kyyanno, slycat, orona_red, foxb, jowgenetsu, jowgenetsu's Dad and tktiger's mum.
There was much food alcohol music and merriment. A great time was had by all as many other LJ posts by the attendees has shown.
Hopefully it won't be another 6 months before the next post :o)
