new skill: Insulating lofts

This weeks new skill was learning how to insulate a house, it was a rather dingy day outside so a good little project to be inside for.




After 5 hours of moving glass insulation(nasty stuff) around, a big bowl of carrot, honey and ginger soup and a lot of hammering the job was completed.

Origins

I was born In Aberdeen Hospital at 1am on the 20th of March 1989




Here is a photo of me in the hospital with rather spiky hair ( I think its a good look)









Apparently when I was little I didn't sleep very much as there was so much to see and do, sorry Mum and Dad
( still rocking the spiked hair do)










My childhood was very happy and I spent allot of it outdoors







whether it be smelling Roses with my Grandad











Out playing with my best friend Richard













Climbing Trees











Or out surveying the land with my dad










From a young age Ive always liked to make and build things, here I am out with my dad helping
( or more likely playing with the sand) my dad build a log cabin. This love of making and mending has lead me to projects in my adult life.

















Ive always had an adventurous side and loved going on little adventures with my dad when I was young which eventually lead me to travel around the world


















I loved playing in the garden at a young age and loved growing plants with my Mum even though I didn't realise how much I was learning at the time, I saw it as just having fun.








As you can see my parents tried to make me aware of the planet from an early age and taught me to care for it and many other valuable morals.
Here I am at a fancy dress party while others were dressed as farmers and Bees ( my best friend Richard)
I went as Save the Planet,I thought it was a great costume but I dont think the other kids really understood.




Here me and my best friend Richard are at the falconry Center with my home made binoculars (a little bit of ingenuity)





Here I am looking rather thoughtful as I contemplate over my parents choice in music




Here I am practicing car sharing



Although I think I prefer bikes




Its amazing how much childhood shapes the way you grow up and the smallest seeds of interest lead you to opportunities as you become an adult. I can safely say I had a wonderful childhood and look back on it with very fond memory's.




Thanks Mum and Dad

The Time Has Come

Well I thought it was about time that I started getting into the whole blogging malarky but instead of just making posts about anything. I decided it would be a much better idea to have a blog with a little more sustenance so I set up a

LIFE BLOG

so that I might record all the big and small things that happen in my life.

Every week or two Ill try and document the new skills I learn, the new experiences that I encounter and maybe some flash backs along the way.

I guess I should start my story from the very beginning, so here goes...
