I've been talking about visiting the apple store on and off for a while-work has given me a few trips into london, but never that near the store. However Tuesday was different-I was playing courier with content for one of our customer platforms, and that involved me going past the store on Regent Street, on my way out of London. So I kinda got side tracked into there, on my way to oxford circus to find a tube to Liverpool street.
I'd love to wax lyrical about how amazing it was, but at the end of the day, its a computer shop. Yes, for shiney, and interesting computers, but they're still computers at the end of the day. I'd like to have bought one for myself, but with a desktop and laptop of my own, and a work laptop too, I dont exactly need any more machines at this given point in time. Ipods for that matter too. I have an adiquate car stereo, and thats the time when I would listen to mp3s. With iPods not storing tunes as standard file storage, they inherantly are incompatable as usb mass storage of tunes for playing though anything other than specialist software. So I bought a few peripherals instead, so it didnt feel like a total waste of time in there!

I completed my first ever world record status, and first ever fita star comp on saturday. I think I came out as the lowest scoring recurve, but still, someone has to be bottom. I think most people of a similar caliber to myself made the intelegent decision to not shoot given the weather. It certainly managed to rain well towards the end of the 50m. The main problem I had was it caused my arrows to drop by about 40 cm. With an 80 cm face, that puts them well out of the middle, and consiquently my score for a couple of ends suffered. That said, I put some good ends in too, getting a distance total of 230 at 70m which I was pleased with.
The weather dried off well enough to make bbq and camping ok overnight. I managed to use my new bbq and tent. The mini barel bbq I'd had for a couple of years suffered a bit at busa and gained an extra "air vent", right in the centre of the bottom 1/2 so got retired. The new one is stainless steel, and sits higher off the ground, so should be a better cooking height, when lounging about in folding chairs after spending the day shooting. It certainly seemed better that height than the old one.
The new tent-its 2 skinned, so doesnt seem so much like its going to leak in the slightest of showers, and has space to dump stuff outside the inner section during showers to keep worst of damp off things.
I've not got any other competitions coming up, but I would really like to get some 1st class scores on the board this season. I keep ending up just a handful of points short
