Sunday Morning

I got a really childish buzz out of doing the AFS yesterday. The adrenaline rush at the beginning was so real! My voice was faulterinig and I was shaking through the excitement, how mad is that? I remember looking at the shack clock 11 minutes after the start with 20 QSOs in the log wondering how I was going to cope for 4 hours? I bagged 103 in the first hour and 95 in the second hour, thinking that I was heading for a world record(!), but I only scored 39 in the third hour. Anyway, it was such good fun and to do 4 hours on the radio without a pee? I must have timed everything just right.

After dinner, I asked Emily if she’d like her own blog. She’s had www.emilymac.co.uk for over a year and although I built her a really pretty site, she coudn’t update it because it was a static site, with no software. Anyway, we’ve sorted one out for her and I spent most of last night getting it working.

2:30 in the morning I was still awake, listening to the occasional banging from the neighbours garden gate that wasn’t closed properly. Finally I had had enough, I got dressed and walked around three sides of a square to get to their house and would you believe it, their son opened the window just as I walked up the path! We both spooked each other. I told him my purpose and he grunted (he’s about 17, they grunt quite well).

Then I just lay awake for ages. It’s morning now, so I guess I slept.
