Well I haven't done a very good job of keeping this blog going but I thought I'd try and start it up again.
So since my last post, I've managed to alter a few things in my life.
After a year of lessons, I managed to pass a driving test and get meself my first little car. This led on to getting a new job and getting myself out of the ten year rut I'd spent working for Specsavers. And to quote my exit interview, "Never have I ever worked so hard for so little".
Things on the up for me at last!?
However nothing lasts and this led on to a post Christmas winter depression funk like I'd never experienced.
By February id had enough.
In order to get out of it I decided I needed to find something to do. I have transport now. I'm not just restricted to Boro.
As if by magic a thought occurred to me about the sport I'd previously done. That ended badly with my team but there still lingered a love of the game of Roller Derby.
At the same time I was thinking it, Mike actually came out and suggested it. So it seemed meant to be.
After looking into and contacting the 3 most local teams outside of Middlesbrough, I went along to meet Durham City Rolling Angels.
My full intention being to NSO. Kept my hand in and help where I could. Being over 40, obviously my skating days were behind me.
By the 3rd week I was on skates being marked off on minimum skills. I was hooked again and truly happy.
