Friday was Denise's birthday and we spent the day going too and from Letchworth for my car service and to collect and take back a TV unit which had missing bits - how annoying! Ended up getting one in Hitchin which I then made - hard work but worth it and in dark wood looks much better than the glass unit we had before. It also goes well with the new lounge carpet which got fitted on Friday. Add in new curtains and ightshade and the lounge looks quite awesome!

The mattress turned up, just a pity I have woken up with backache the last two mornings - Denise thinks its becase I strained myself on Friday lugging furniture boxes and moving sofas. I did my back in badly earlier this year and apparently 'once knackered, always knackered' - great.

First guitar lesson was on Tuesday went really well - Russ and I have lots to learn; chords, power chords, petatonic scale and more! My fingers need to be able to stretch more! Next lsson is the 25th, so time to get some practice in.

Yesterday Gary (from work) and I visited Celebration Europe at the Excel Centre in London. Celebration is a big Star Wars convention that usually is held in America but came to London this year to celebrate 30 years of Star Wars.
It was ok, just not much in the way of film stuff to see, not like at the Star Wars Exhibition at County Hall that I went to a few weeks ago. There were some shows but waiting time was way too long. The galleries of fan art were great and I have some websites to check out. There were also a ton of dealers and I managed to get a limited edition hardback edition of Star Wars Legacy Vol 1 - it's not due out until July 27th and even then it'll be just the standard paperback version - yay for the Titan Books stand.
Of course I took a few photos, here is the link and a few teasers: clickety click
