Sorry for the lack of updates over the last month, but I've been reasonably busy

I have another job! A company called Ivis Group and I'm one of their software consultants who's now based at Tescos in London. Good pay and a great job for the c.v. (Tesco's has the biggest retail e-commerce web site in the UK), sadly the 2 hour commute each way is a bit of a killer at the moment! THis should be sorted when I move up to London, but right now I'm living for the weekend!

My kite arrived and I've had an awesome (overpowered) session on it at Southend. There's banks out the back which leave the most incredible flat water sections that I've ever seen. There was a bunch of windsurfers doing speed runs and I couldn't resist a race. 30 seconds later my board was vibrating wildly and, although I was overtaking a windsurfer, I thought that he was more prepared for a crash with his helmet, impact vest and goggles! Anyway, it was good to get out and get wet again!

The cable park shuts this weekend until March next year, so I couldn't resist one last blast. Great fun and I'm still causing a stir using my finless, flat kiteboard that no one thinks I should be able to ride. (and their right, I can't ride  ;o)   )

Here's some photos, sadly I had the film speed set wrong so there's some blurring. You wouldn't expect anything else from me though would you!
