Its Been A Long Summer

Heylo you beautiful strangers.

Its been a good couple of months since you have last heard from me but forgive me for I have much to tell.

First and fullmost since we last met my summer had just started. Well, let me tell you, it only got more interesting from there. I spent a very good day up Olde London Towne with a few friends at Gay Pride! And I can honestly say it was one of the most intriguing days of my life. Never had I seen so much...why I suppose you could say flamboyancy. Of course you can only say if it is in actualy fact a real word which I'm not too sure of at the moment.

It's nice to see a bit of pride in this world. To see people flaunt what thirty years ago would have been deemed 'sinful' and even illegal really made me feel glad that there so many people who are feeling un-ashamed of what has always been, to them, (and rightly so) thier human rights...

...Oh, and over three thousand gay men singing a drag queens rendition of Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' and ABBA's 'Dancing Queen' ain't half a laugh.

Maybe Grant and Myself got too much into the spirit. My girlfriend understand I'm sure.

Then, my beautiful strangers, I flew off to sunny Croatia-land in search of sun, sea and alchohol. The first of this two weeks was spent in the company of the strangest of the strange. The almighty Inebriate...This Guy:

Dave Harrild. And his drinking partner, Father Hayes himself:

This was an alcohol fuelled first week, I tell you. With drinking heavily one night, vowing to take it easier the next evening, only to break said vow and continue the pattern. Until eventually, by the end of the first week, we looked like this:

(We've no idea who the italian guy is) Then Dave and the rest of the Harrilds unfortunatley left our presence. But then my sister and her delightful (used loosley) boyfriend joined us in the second week of Croatia-Land.

And this helped our second week to be a lot more tamer than the first, only drinking half of what was drunk the first...which was still too much to some people...I suppose.

Lastly at the end of this summer I went to the almighty Reading Music Festival where I spent four whole days with my friends, drinking and listening to good goddamn music. Quite literally started on a good note with Alkaline Trio and ended on a good note with Blink 182. However, I did, unfortunately, lose my camera. But I have been going through the dregs of other people's pictures and found this pretty spectacular. One which I hope sums up the weekend for those Reading hopefuls.

All in all Summer of 2010 was a pretty darn good summer.
