My journey to rock stardom began this morning! I got Rocksmith on Xbox for Christmas. On Boxing Day I discovered that my old guitar, the cheap and cheerful Encore that I bought when I was 16 is kaput. The electrics are beyond dodgy. I think I discovered that the last time I tried to play it, then forgot during it's stay in the loft. This morning I managed to get it working sufficiently by wiggling things.
So, spent the morning in my jammies being awful at 'Can't get no satisfaction', discovering that the game makes it harder every time you 'play again'!! Gave up when Ma started screaming at her phone and saying that we had to go out or she would go mad. So, formulated a plan. Texted Chalkie.
This afternoon we went out caching at Overstrand and then on to Cromer to watch the fireworks.
The hint for this one was that Alice would have to drink me to make her small.
And in it was a Geocoin commemorating 200 hides from Quebec..
Failed to find the last one, despite half an hour climbing slippery slopes and getting slashed by brambles. So.. off to Cromer for chips, hot choc and donuts, then the Fireworks. Found a great spot down the steps. First outing for the Lego bag I got from Emsy..
Chalkie got fed up waiting..
Photos were mostly disasterous, and the videos were mainly blurry blobs of light. I do very much appreciate my new lumix camera.. but nothing will beat a proper SLR! especially for fireworks, and especially now that I've found a quieter spot with room for a tripod.. roll on next year! Still, the blur gave some quite neat effects..
Did get a couple of good ones.. and the ones fired off the side of the pier are always cool..
Made my Lego calendar when I got home and am now blogging while half watching Polar Express..
Oh.. forgot.. we got up in the morning to discover that our front wall had been demolished overnight! Found out later that all the neighbours had woken up when a BMW smashed into it at 4am. We didn't!
