Well the week that has just past was full of interesting things but i will be high lighting the couple of things that have stood out!
Firstly for a work 2 day team building and conference, we headed up to Daventry (about an hour and 15 from home) the first half of the first day was very informative, the second part of the first day was an activity session, which involved building a Soapbox racer.
We got given a shell and 4 wheels and told to build the rest, couple of mandatory items like side skirts, rear spoiler and front nose cone. Once built each team raced, to try and win a place in the final.
For a team building activity this was a very good one!
Moving quickly on to Saturday with Pat, we had planned to purchase remote control planes as the next fad, this changed after we actually thought about it, we would break them too quickly!
So we moved onto Kites, this seemed more practical!
We headed to the Kite shop in town, purchased a 2.2m wing span "power kite" each. Due to being last years model (with the shop owner saying it was the packaging that had changed) the price was very competitive £35 each! bargain!
We head over to the windiest filed near Pat's house, after a good 15mins of setting up the kites, connecting all the strings and lines, we went for the first flight! Oh boy kites are fun! We must have spent a good couple of windy hours in the field whizzing the kites left and right.
Dont get me wrong, the amount of time the kite was in the air was equal to the amount of time spent untangling the lines once it came soaring down to the ground!
Overall the kites were great fun and looking forward to attaching a Go Pro to them and sending them up again!
Saturday evening we headed to Panda's house, and decided to play the "Hercules Drinking Game", which is essence, is get drunk while watching the disney classic, Hercules. Now the rules are pretty simple, whenever X happens....DRINK! So whenever a song starts (which is disney is pretty often!), whenever he is called Jerk-ules and a handful of other rules - Great game! Makes me want to get the Disney box set, 2 crates of beer and off we go!
Now onto Sunday, this was a very nice and relaxed Sunday, we had one of Elisa's friends round for lunch so we decided to cook a roast dinner, i say we decided, which we did, but Elisa cooked. This in turn left me nothing to expect jump onto Warcraft to finally try and finish off the legendary Cloak Quest line.
I have finally done it! for a second time! (both Paladin and now Mage).
Dont get me wrong it wont take 5 mins to replace the items when WoD is released, but feel i have achieved something by doing it.
Overall another great weekend, ready for a busy week at work!
Side note - I have now sold the Bitcoin Mining Rig on ebay! so now just trading on the markets with the coins i mined!
Until next time!
Peace!
