Wow, it's a baking hot day today, and I'm inside on a computer and its little fan is going crazy (awww)

Time for a catch-up mini-blog thing.... I won the poker tournament last saturday night at Christian's place.... 5 of us in ... won 16 quid out of the 25 pot... could have won 25 if the other guy hadn't chickened out to go home...

The following day , did my radio show.... i'm thinking of changing my radio night back to thursday... just thinking. Chris and Elaine came to see the studios, then we went to the pub to watch England v Japan.... (2-1)...

I got pretty drunk and the best thing is I'm now massively excited about this World Cup.
It's good cos I thought it might be a thing of the past, and I was losing that childish excitement about it all... but thanks to a few good friends and a lot of publicity (and some beer) I'm now crazy excited about it all!! And England's chances of course! Even without Rio and Walcott.

That made for a real nice sunday , alongside going through the Jukebox's collection of early 90's dance music :-)

Bank Holiday Monday was less interesting and eventful, although I did have a good phone call conversation with my mum , where I was able to talk about a lot of my difficulties I have in relation to the counselling, and she was really willing to listen and be a support, and realise that I don't need her to help me, I just need her to love me. Sometimes she gets angry because things can't be solved and I feel sad cos I just want her to love me -- and even though she does, she can find it hard to say it or show it directly sometimes.

Tuesday, I stayed in and got creative stuff done. Wednesday played a charity match of snooker - Samaritans versus Hospital Radio LOL and a integrated friends from both charities. And lost.

Thursday, saw my Nan. Love her to bits. Came home and watched (via I-Player, my friend "purple kate" compete and WIN the Weakest Link!!!) yeah, surreal... Anne Robinson didn't pick on her much... You know when Anne can't think of anything to say to insult them so she just doesn't .. well it was one of those!

Today, on this GORGEOUS day... I've been to the radio studios.. for their official new opening.. £55,000 studios... we had LOADS of people down.. including the voice of the national lottery balls Alan Dedicoat . . . who did the official cutting of a red ribbon, which had been placed there only 5 seconds before LOL. It was funny , because Alan Dedicoat speaks like that all the time! lol, he's not putting it on.

Someone spilt a drink on part of the new studio equipment, but thankfully it missed the controls.. though only by a whisker! Oh the comedy!!!

I also got to meet lots of interesting people!! Like a guy from York Lions, and Frankie Howard's nephew from the York Theatre Royal who I gave a nice tour of the new radio studios to. (it was him who spilt the drink :-))

Afterwards, caught up with Simon who's back from his first year of uni, and sat out in the sun in the Exhibition beer garden :-)

Edit: Now waiting for The Legend to call and let me know when he's in town as its his birthday night.. so far it's 10:35pm and he's still at a house party lol... its gonna be a late start!
