bits and bobs …
… Watched a good program on iPlayer today called Lost land of the jaguar. Its about a team of people who are exploring the Jungles of Guyana which is North of the Amazon. They’re trying to find out whether it is pristine i.e. it hasn’t been hunted or logged. They are a team of naturalists who are working to find new and endangered species to prevent Guyana from being logged and ruined. Worth a watch if you’ve not already seen it. click here
Last weekend I was up on the East coast near Scarborough and went to go-ape at Dalby forest again which was top draw. Villa in Mallorca is close now!

I’m Back …
I’ve just got back from spending the week in Northampton with my cousin near Brackley. Train journey back was bad – I spent half an hour waiting at Birmingham New Street for a freight train fire to be put out near Burton-on-Trent. We eventually got back to Derby station 20 minutes late – the whole journey from Banbury to derby taking over 2 hours and costing nearly £30 one way! However cross country kept me well updated on the train of the situation so it wasn’t too bad and I visited the Buffet carriage!

Freedom …
… All my 14 exams are now over! Gone well I reckon! More specifically Geography went very well, got finished just in time, good paper. As Ramsay would say DONE!
News today – Tesco share holders are voting as to whether Tesco should adopt a fairer animal welfare policy on chickens – finally. Still at Sainsburys however they still seem to have too many of the badly reared chickens 
No news about a more local Waitrose either!
Looking dead hard for a job at the moment, but I think I have one in the pipeline! 
Architect came yesterday to look about our extension – his plans sound good, anyway looking forward to that happening. Also went to pizza express / Derby with Chris on Wednesday as well as planning London.
Coming up in next few months …
- 2 visits to London
- Staying with cousin nr. Oxford – maybe go to Milton Keynes, Oxford and Bicester Village!
- Cousin staying with me – maybe go to York and Birmingham
- iPhone 3g on PAYG
- Holiday in Mallorca – luxury villa and hotel [keep carbon footprint low this year LOL]
Thanks to Tony and Ingrid for some great teaching over past 5 years!

The end is nigh …
… yep its nearly all over.
Basically this blog is not going to be updated until end of June when I’m done at least, not sure what it will transform into yet maybe an A-Level Geog Blog!
Resource booklet in lessons at the moment so not worth blogging. I’m going to be too busy with GCSEs to bother with this now .
Just back from Center Parcs – a well earned break!
visit:
pilotgcseradicalgeography for exam prep etc
Bye for Now!

The Latest from Stringy …
… well I’ve been literally mega busy the past week, with Technology Coursework, Our final piece of Geography coursework! and general work and revision. Add to that the fact I’ve also joined Virgin Active health club, where I gym, swim and spa, it’s been a busy but satisfying week.
All the Geography coursework is done which I’m dead happy about so I can go to Virgin more now! I have to say it was getting pretty annoying having to do so much. Maybe out of choice I would have picked WJEC, maybe not! My post 16 choices are sorted and most coursework has been nailed for every subject. We’ve got record of achievement on Friday which will be good!
In the news, Terminal 5 has gone pearshaped making the rest of Heathrow seeming almost relaxing. In my opinion this was a huge mistake opening it when it just wasn’t quite ready. So in Geography its the resource booklet until the exam now, it said on the exam sheet its 90 minutes, was that an increase on our mock?
Anyway that’s about it I reckon! :-)

New Photos …
I was in London on Saturday but didn’t take my Nikon D40 unfortunately, but I got a few snaps with my parents’ compact which are on Flickr. We went on an early train and went 1st class with breakfast which is great because you’re not starvin’ marvin when you arrive in London. We went to the Tower of London and saw the crown jewels and visited convent garden, regent street, burlington and piccadilly in the afternoon. A large percentage of the tube network was down so it was off 3 stops early and walk it. The whole of circle line was shut as was bank or monument tube station, can’t remember which. The new St. Pancras Station was looking great too. Going further back I went on the Nottingham Wheel/Eye at the start of February and those pictures on online too. Take a look.http://www.flickr.com/photos/tdstringy Any ideas about a desktop blogging program for Mac? drop me a comment please.
