September: A month of action

Hiyaaaa!

Long time no speak!  October 2011 was my last post and we're now at the end of August 2012 (oops!).  Loads and loads has happened since my last post, with some good progress being made on a few of my 101, and some big events and news, but I'm gonna talk about that all at a later point.  For now, I'll just say that I've decided to make September a 'Month of Action'!

I've been doing lots of bits and bobs over the past couple of months, but many of them need finishing, and are starting to take over my room and my life in a very "I wish this was just sorted now" kinda way!  So throughout September, I'm gonna do what I can to get all these odd-jobs sorted and loose ends tied up.  Included are:

- finally getting rid of my hundreds of aviation magazines, be they sold or donated.  They've been sat in my car for about a year now, and as they weigh 80kg, are probably costing me a fair bit in fuel (and definitely in space!)
- getting rid of the 100 or so VHS tapes that I've checked
- getting my running training back on track (yes, I've started running!)
- revalidating my Instrument Rating (kinda important, but I'll explain why in a later post)
- working through my bag of 'stuff to sell'
...and much more!

I have two big events on the first and last day of September.... on the 1st is Brighton Pride, on which I'll be dancing the day away on easyJet's float!  Then whizzing through to the end of the month on the 30th is an event called the Big Gay 10K, a 10km walk/run/mince being organised by a group I used to be involved in.  So two very fun and very gay events to help get me started and finished!

I promise to update this more often... you'll see soon that a lot HAS happened in the past year, and I wish I'd updated my blog more often as it would have been great to see the year unfold, but hindsight is a wonderful thing, and perhaps the next year will be even more exciting, so I can make up for that by blogging a lot more regularly from here on in :)

Keep your eyes peeled for an update soon, and wish me luck in getting as much as I possibly can done in September's Month of Action!
