Well, I MIGHT keep it up...

Thought I'd start a blog. I'm notoriously bad at keeping in touch with friends and acquaintances, so I'm making a vague attempt at this in the hope that some people might read it and feel less neglected!

So what's happened since the start of the year?

Well Phil and I haven't been out much for a start. It's the usual January hangover from Christmas really, not got too much cash and can't honestly be bothered! I'm not a winter person... maybe I've got that S.A.D. ... ;-)

I've done a few more bits of filming for Manbears for the upcoming Bear Bash 10 in May. Can't believe it's the tenth one... I remember being panicky about the first one, and whether or not we could make it break even! It's amazing to see how it's grown from 53 people to the thousand plus it attracts nowadays. The films will be the usual comedy spoofs... this time of CSI, Extreme Makeover, Psycho, Most Haunted and Antiques Roadshow. No doubt they'll be posted on YouTube soon after Bear Bash. You can take a look at the previous Manbears videos (I'm in some of them!) on my YouTube playlist here. By the way, most of them contain none-too-subtle gay innuendo!

Phil and I did manage to take a trip to Cardiff a few weeks ago - I was down there to work in a school in Barry, so seemed a good idea for Phil to tag along. When we went out on the Friday night, I thought it was all a bit tired... plus Phil and I seemed to be the only bears in the city!

I guess my other news happened yesterday when I appeared on Brainteaser on Five. I sent off an application months ago and thought nothing of it. Then just over a week ago I got the call, did a telephone audition and was in! All very speedy. Best of all is that I got to the final and won £750 - should come in handy for something... :-)

Final piece of good news for this month is the holiday is finally paid for! :-) Which means everything we save from now until August is spending money - hurrah!
