Another post... eventually

It's been getting longer and longer between posts.  I don't know why, I just keep thinking I'll leave it till tomorrow and then.. well.. on "tomorrow" i think the same thing... :S :S
So I won't go through everything I've been doing.  It would take too long and I have half an hour before the computer room gets shut. 
Last week was lots of kayaking, mainly because the wind picked up and it wasn't safe enough to take kids out in dinghies or to do windsurfing.  It was surprising how two groups OF KIDS, one older and one younger could be so different... and the younger group were the better one: they got on the water and were better than the older group were at the end of the session.  Incredible.  But still, that's how it was. 
Then for the last two days I've been keelboating, getting ready for the assessment (two days long) on Thursday and Friday.  There's been lots to take in and when you're trying to take it in when you're on the water it can be quite hard.  Certainly today I got quite confused several times. 
Oh!  I know.  On Monday LAST WEEK, I had a day off.  However I can't drive and no one could drive me anywhere so I couldn't go windsurfing.  I became so bored int he morning I resorted in going to Ops (Daily Operations i.e. the centre of all the watersports sessions throughout the day)and asking the Chief Instructor and another Senior Instructor if there were any jobs I could do.. yep, that's how bored I was.  Though they seemed quite surprised when I accepted their joke of "you could wash our cars."  So yep, I spent my Monday morning washing cars.  Yay :D :D well it was something to do...
Then on Saturday a Church group came.. I say a church group I mean a group who were linked by their church.  It wasn't a whole church, nor a church youth group.  Although youthgroup and UKSA could go together very well I reckon.  It was very cool to have them and due to the considerations of Steve he put me with the group for that day (their only day) and I had a great time.  We did raft building in the morning, which was well good, though it descended rapidly into a big game of pirates towards the end and the adult team actually dismantled our (kids team) raft.  Don't worry, it backfired, as the next race was one where we had to race each others rafts (not so easy to do for the adults who only had a half-assembled remnant to paddle).  Then in the afternoon we walked into town and got the most amazing milkshakes ever.  Then on o the waterfront and a spot of crabbing.. without much luck I'm afraid.  We caught a few strange fish but the nearest we got to catching a crab was when I (yes ME :D :D) hauled up my line and there was a whopper crab, with a shell as big as my outstretched handspan, hanging on it.   Unfortunately I was so surprised and excited that I dropped it again.. before anyone could see it... thankfully my quick thinking saved the day; I lowered the line directly where the crab had hit the water and caught it again, giving other people in the group a sight as proof that I had caught it, even if I still didn't get it half way up the wall before it detached itself again... and that was crabbing.  Then it was the end of the day.
Also on that day (Saturday) was Dr Who.  Those of you who watched it: WHAT!?!?!?! are they intending to leave us with that for another few months and then play the rest of the series later on in the year!?!?!?! that's crazy!!! >:( >:( grrr... the ending was good... the rest of the episode average.  Matt Smith's acting... excellent :D :D
Not much else has really happened.....  I had a good chat with a certain Jono Payne yesterday, which was nice.  I stood on the decking overlooking the sunset on the water of the river Medina and it was rather splendid.  I think Joanna may well think there is some sort of conspiracy going on though... the second time in two weeks when a member of my family has got Jono out of washing up.... oops... sorry.
Right time to go.
Night.
