It was wonderful, I came back to Germany from Afghanistan for 2 weeks R&R, and found that Germany was basically the same temp. as Kabul! Although, Mazaar-e-Sherif is still hotter than both. At least there were breezes in Germany, too... altogether, the weahter made me happy :-) sun sun sun! And that meant that everyone at Ampifest (2-day alternative industrial and rock festival, inc. VNV Nation) were superbly scantily dressed. We stayed in a hotel in Koln for 3 days, but didn't get any photos at all. I went swimming a few times, which was great. Went to a BBQ. I haven't been online because a lightning strike broke my network card, made the router smoke, melted the DSL line splitter and has caused a line fault meaning that there is no digital connection even though the phone (somehow) still works. They're working on the line. Oh, and gave massive fusses to my two beautiful and character-ful kittens! I've been working through (post-spam-filter) 300 emails or so from the past 2 weeks. I hope you've all been enjoying the summer :-) Tags: goths, holiday, internet connection, kittens, koln, lightning, music, sun, swimming, vnv nation

GeneralIn my line of work sometimes I meet interesting people... The other day, I was talking to a General and a Brigadier in the Army, in their full kit... I was well nervous when they came over... after some formalities, we chatted amicably like normal human beings... and got on to FOOTBALL. I faked knowledge and held my own... kind-of thinking that the General was faking it too. You don't get to talk to many Generals... it's good to know they're still human! HolidayI am going on holiday for a week with my girlfriend... I'm always excited and nervous everytime I meet her! Our work is both of our prime lives... so we sometimes are apart for weeks. Fame!I keep getting reporters (BBC, Radio, etc!) trying to interview me... argh... I seem to be getting in-demand the longer I stay inactive! FitnessWe had ANOTHER of those marathon style runs... everyone runs, all 1000 of us. This time it was 5 miles long, with an extra hill sneaked in at the end. Ouch. But, I came 87th !! Last time I was 95th, before that was 100th... I'm getting better and faster! Occassionally I make it to nights at the Electric Ballroom... never seem to make Slimelight... so I do meet some of my cherished friends... and I do keep saying... in the future I'll be back and more sociable!
