Well since the last post I've scored the second of four peals in a week, which was a slightly sloppy peal of Morville D Major. A few of the band, myself included, performed worse than normal and there were few courses without a trip of some kind. In the evening we succeeded in failing to get the 1311 of Stedman Cinques we lost last month, which was annoying. Maybe if JAA had put the people who were wrong right rather than telling those who knew what they were doing, and were right, what to do we may have got it. I find these 12 bell QPs at Amersham increasingly frustrating.
I've spent the day composing. A 2048 block of Plain Bob Major came quickly which turned into my first peal composition; a 5072. I may call it in the Young Persons peal on August 25th, for which I now have a complete band. I'm struggling with a band for 2nd August at the minute for Minor, and also have two peal attempts to organise in Septemeber, which could go to three if we add a second on the 19th as planned.
About to go and attempt peal number three, Bristol S Major at Chalfont. It was supposed to be Heighinghton, but JAA decided he'd rather call Bristol with all that's been going on recently, and fair enough!
Off to the Ryoal International Air Tatoo at RAF Fairford on Sunday, am well looking forward to it. Only been once, in 2002, and last years, which we were due to attend, was cancelled cos of bad weather. So we must hope for sunshine this week!

Turbulent times!
So I'm back from an awesome hop to Paris with the woman. Had a good time even tho we were just there for like three days.
Ringing wise all hell is breaking loose at Amersham since one of the ringers voiced dissaprovement, again. I've been urged to voice my opinion to her which I shal gladly do! Got a peal of a brand new method yesterday at Maidstone and got peals tomorrow of Morville (second ever in the method) and Bristol at Chalfont on Friday. And then back to Kent next Tuesday for another brand new method!
Got quite a few good pics in Paris and am heading to an airshow on Sunday with pops so hop to get some good pics especially of XH588 and the Reds
Been playing a fair bit of tar, same as always. Black or Whites my song of the moment. So that's that!

So not much
Yeah well not much is happening. Just chilling, working and playing guitar same as normal lol. Pretty damn happy that Federer won yesterday, that was cool.
Ringing wise joint conducted a QP with JAA on Thursday of minor which has started the organisation of a peal attempt for Minor on the first Sunday in August. Going to ring at least six methods, may have a 1440 of Cam then 720s of DOx, Plain, Little, OTB and maybe SOx. Possibly chuck Norwich in there as well.
So yeah that's about it. Still can't believe MJ went and died! Hope I can watch the funeral thing but I'll be in Paris so doubt it... Chat soon....
