End of March News

Well, now I have the blog set-up, all I gotta do is remember to keep it updated!

Last week was a busy one for us all, starting with Oscar's grading from Blue-Belt II to Blue-Belt III. The club is getting bigger and bigger all the time, and this was the first grading in the new "do-Jang" which is Korean for "Training Hall". It was a tight squeeze! Maybe 20 people grading, so I'm not certain of the quality aspect... anyway, Oscar did well in the circumstances, and did manage to grade to Blue-Belt III. Well Done Oscar!



While Oscar geared up for Easter by trying on his new bunny ears for size, I was on a training course all week, learning the delightful skill of "Business Continuity Management" - or at least one view of it. Course was dreary and boring, but could be useful from a career perspective - who knows... Typically for my current employer, there was an expectation that I would need to do my "day-job" whilst on the course, so I ended up putting in a few 13 hour days and didn't get as much revision (there was a test on Friday) in as I'd like. Don't know if I'll pass but I can always take it again.

Meanwhile, life goes on. In my spare time I've been working on collating and processing all the video taken by Friend Christopher during a recent visit to Europe. It's very time consuming and the software has a number of behaviours that need to be learned, but I have really been enjoying the editing process. I'm currently investigating whether it's worthwhile turning this hobby into a money making scheme, lots of people have digital video camera's but don't know how to process them...

That's pretty much all that's been happening in our world this week. I'm looking forward to Easter very much as I and Oscar have a week of activities planned during the school holidays. Lots of pictures for sure.
