Aren’t emotions funny things? Within the space of 10 minutes, I had a fantastic high off a phone call which may be giving me something I’ve been waiting for a few years for and wasn’t expecting for another few years[1]; followed by an incredible low after another phone call telling me my bank had fucked […]

Ok, so now I have at first hand a better idea of what Tom Reynolds talks about in his blog. I was on duty again with the first responders last night. Since Sean’s heading back to Aber for a bit tonight, I decided a nice home-cooked dinner was in order – in hindsight perhaps not […]

Very little information on these so far – I suspect […]

Today has been busy.  I’ve spent most of it training with the Caerphilly First Responders, where we finished off our training, got a few bits of paperwork sorted and did our written exam. Next week we have our assesments. Malcolm came with me this week, and things went spiffingly, so looks like he’s going to […]
