Forget what we're told...
Well I've been accused of not updating very often, and I can't deny that fact, so here is a small update.
Christmas and New Years have passed with nothing extraordinary to mention, New Years was spent drinking and chatting at the Millyard residence which was a good laugh, if not a little cold.
This past week saw the whole Thorpe crew back together for 4 days of intense tuition for our GNAS archery instructor award. It was the best 4 days of this holiday I have to say, we never seem to stop laughing. Someone is always cracking a joke, playing a prank or making a fool of themselves, we do make a great team! We all learned so much in the 4 days, it's probably due to the fact Maureen just couldn't stop telling us about the sport but we all know our recurves from our compounds and our knocks from our piles, some of us have even been dreaming archery! Friday afternoon saw the arrival of our assessor who really tested us, well JJ anyway poor guy, despite that certificates were awarded to everyone, even Dik, (19/20!!!) So Thorpe now has 8 new fully qualified archery instructors. Watch out! 
What am I aiming for again?
Tim playing with Dik's longbow!
After the assessment on Friday went for an evenings climb with JJ, Emma and Marc at the Cragg. It was a good laugh and nice to be together the four of us, I don't think we did that much climbing really, just stood around talking, and then spent even more time in the bar. After dropping off Marc and JJ, Em and me headed to mine for a film, card and JD!! Woo. It was brilliant to catch up with her, relax and unwind.
Saturday I spent the first few hours trying to conquer a hangover by hanging another one of my pictures then driving to Ipswich to look at walking boots for Scotland. The weather was crap and the trip to Ipswich was almost as crap, apart from buying myself the tent I’d been thinking about since I saw it last week, a steal at £75! I fell asleep in the car on the way home which set the tone for the evening, just a quiet one doing nothing.
Today was again a quiet one, only crawling out of my pit around midday. I did a little revision and then again went climbing this time with Claire, Marc and Dik, I finally bagged both the yellows an greens I’d been playing on even if I didn't do them the 'correct' way... Tomorrow I plan to do a reasonable amount of revision then go to the Sixth Form award ceremony in the evening, but we shall see how the day unfolds...
Later.
