You probably already know that I'm a lifeguard and other leisure centre stuff :laughing: and that I'm going to college in August for sports and fitness too. Let me know how you get on, I'm intrigued. I hope you enjoy it Clancy :)!

Cheers :)

Not sure if I wanna be a life guard, but I certainly would love to work in that industry.

I don't know how they work down there but up here once you work for leisure you can pretty much do anything you want in that industry. The only work I don't do is gym work. I do or can do absolutely everything else. :)

Yeah, that's, why I am quite lucky that as soon as I looked for Leisure apprenticeships there were a few open, and I got this one within a day. Still hoping one of the others accepts me though, because it has a sports coaching attachment, which would be extra awesome.

Yeah that one would be amazing. What coaching does it say you would be doing :)?

Not 100% sure. It's at the Bolton Arena which has a load of activities/facilities compared to regular Leisure Centers, so I think it would be general coaching I think.

Dog/house sitting for an older couple who have a positively ancient dog with a lot of weird habits and dietary needs. I love dogs, but I would hate owning this one. It is super greedy for treats and food, but incredibly picky. Half the time it does not approve of what you give it so it just won't eat.

Went to the going-away party for a friend of mine who is going to be living in a Haitian orphanage for several months. Was really great, and since almost everyone she knows is a musician, there was an awesome jam band playing.

And speaking of bands, looks like I'm finally going to be playing in one again. I've been wanting to play regularly with people since my last band dissolved, and starting next Saturday I'll have a chance. I have no idea what kind of music I'll be playing, but knowing who is playing, it's probably going to be some kind of jazzy folky jam band, with lots of spontaneous improv. Which is great with me.

Life is good.

Well, just accidentally posted my new avatar request to this thread because I had both open, so I'll take that as a bad omen to what the rest of the day will be like.

Forgot about my friend's show and headed home after work. This is what happens when you live in a place where there's too many shows to remember. First World problems like a mother ****er.

There's some shouting going on outside. I think there must be some kinda street carnival or something going on. It's getting on my nerves. I'm going out to the bin in a minute so I'll see what the **** it is.
