a family outing today. yeah. you know it. it was a bank holiday and my dad wanted us all to have a day out together. so we went to this town called matlock baths. and to a place called the heights of abraham1, which was a cable car thingy up to a hilltop (a very high one) and a few trips down mines and a fair amount of fun too. i did some amateur camcorder work, honing my skills2. oh yes. it was good though.
the most awesome thing about today was something that came about due to us having to go in two cars. i have three (younger) brothers3 so we end up splitting between the two cars, and taking WALKIE TALKIES with us. it was so good. i kept saying "over" and "roger" at one point. funness in great abounds. i took my ipod too, and a tape deck converter thingy. it was great. i tried to play my mum some standup4 but i don't think she's the standup type. so we just played good music. and that's fun too.
but hey, i have to get up early tomorrow (today) so i should pipe down and sleep up. goodnight!
1 no idea why.

3 the annoyingness of this is fairly evenly balanced by the goodness of me getting to boss them around for a good.. 10 or 20 years.
