It's been a bloody while...

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls...I can only apologise for my tardiness in blogging of late.

Life has been busy and squeezing sleep in has been a challenge, never mind trying to collate and collect thoughts and then type them up on here.

However...I now have a posh new iPhone and have found a posh new 'app' that allows me to blog on't'move. Get in. This means that hopefully I'll be able to stay in touch and keep you all up to date.

Quick update (and I mean quick...there's a good few blogs worth of typing to be had...but I'll be concise):

- I GOT A NEW JOB.
That's right, I've flown the Tog24 Kendal nest and moved on to pastures new. I'm working for a company called SealSkinz. We manufacture waterproof socks, hats and gloves (without the use of any Seal at all...don't panic). I'm working as the Northern Regional Sales Representative and will be the key point of contact for accounts in the area. The kit is amazing, truly fantastic stuff and it's lovely to be selling some decent product. On top of that, the company itself is cracking. I'm working with some very experienced and very cool people who have been great to me so far. We're right in the thick of forward order season at the minute and its manic to say the least. Its exciting and new and i'll be honest with you, I love it. Let's hope things carry on being so positive.

- I BOUGHT SOME WHEELS.
I needed a car for the new job. I bought one. Winner.

- I'M FEELING STRONG.
I've been travelling around quite a bit (well...a lot actually. I've already put 7000 miles on the car. Ouch) and in doing so I've managed to get to different bouldering walls around the country. So far i've ticked Beacon, Redpoint and Climb Newcastle plus a cheeky sesh on the OB Aberdovey shed-board. When I've been home i've been hitting it hard at Kendal Wall. I'm feeling the benefits. There are some super hard new routes up (thanks to Ian Vickers and Robbie Phillips) and I'm loving working them out and sending them. 8a...? Soon. Very soon. Now I just need the crags to dry out and put all my hard work to the test. I can't wait for summer.

- I'VE MOVED HOUSE.
I now live with Amy (since October). It's great having a place together and the cottage we live in is very, very cool. It has a cellar for a start. Beastmaker 2000? On it. Thanks to Penny for putting up with me for so long.

MORE TO FOLLOW...
Like I said...I'm hoping to post much more frequently now I have this app so watch this space. I'll be hitting the blogs hard. Progress and news coming soon.

Much love peoples.
