Meditation

As I have said before I'm a Reiki Healer but today I went to my Reiki Master's house and we had a meditation workshop. I got there for 10.00am and left just after 4.00pm and was about Angelic Meditation. It was really good, I got some answers in my Meditaion plus some messages which is always amazing. It delt with Archangels and Chakras and the Archangel that is associated with the colour of the Chakra. Very interesting and worth reading about, during the day we had to pick out a card from random and I chose this card, Self Trust. Say's it all really

Latest Tattoo Session

Saturday the 8th of September was my third session on my back. Wow this one really hurt, more for the after shock as much as during the tattoo session. He tattooed all over my back and it was sore everywhere, but it was later that night that I started to feel really ill. I guess my body went into a kind of shock as I felt so tired, sick and ached everywhere so I was in bed at 10 and had a bit of a rough night as I seemed to keep rolling onto my back (I tried to sleep on my side). They say no pain no gain so I guess this one lived up to that quote! So up to now I've had eight and a half hours worth of tattooing and cost £480. Next session is in October

Back To Normal

Well, I went back to work this week and everything just seems as normal as it did before I went on holiday. I did enjoy the break, I went to London for 4 days, and Brighton on one of those days. The second week saw me in York, Scarborough, Manchester and Leeds so I did get about a bit. Went back to work to begin learning to program a new machine we were getting, it was similar to the old machine but obviously does a lot more so as well as doing my programming I had to take care of my job as well as sort out other problems. Through all this I have had to work overtime, so been doing 11 hour days plus Saturday and Sunday. I'm tired and a little bit annoyed I didn't get out on my bike but having said that it is raining. I was lucky with the weather as the week before I broke up it rained and we had 2 glorious weeks of sunshine and now all back to normal like I said!

Holiday In The Sun

Wow, it is nice to have my holiday in the sunshine. I am into my second week of my holiday and it feels great. I was in London last week for 4 days, this week I have been to York for a day and possibly going to Manchester one day this week. I got a camera for my birthday, a Canon EOS 400D and it is awesome. I used it in London and it has been going around with me. Got a users guide book to read and that is quite a read so will do bits a a time. Had quite a few good remarks about my red mohawk, I really like it and glad I have grown it back!

Time To Dye

Tonight I had my mohawk bleached blonde, ready for dying red for my trip to London next week for my birthday. My hair is long enough now to put gel in and spike it and the bleach makes it look longer as well.

I'm going to Derby on Sunday as there is a tattoo convention on, Vince is going in this one so that should be good. He will be using his digital camera and taking photo's of the tattooed guys walking around there!

Meeting Old Friends

Saturday was a nice day for me, I bumped into 3 old friends and was nice to catch up with them. One was an old friend from when I used to live at home with my parents, wow it was hard to believe that I am older than him but he looks a lot older than me! Another was my friend Brian who I first met at Fitness First. We had coffee in Costa Coffee shop in Waterstones and was nice to catch up. The next was my best friends ex wife. It was great to see Pam and after a few short seconds I could see that I missed her. She was just as funny and warm as ever, it was a shame that they split up but I guess if you are no longer happy in a relationship then it should end. She has become a Muslim and has taken on the muslim ways including the garb they wear, makes no difference to me but I must ask her next time I see her what her name is as she has changed her name too.

A Much Needed Update

I seem to have forgotten to update here so now is the time. A week after the floods in Hull we still have got bad rain. Today and tonight it has rained so everyone is on guard incase it starts to flood again. I have never seen anything like it in my life and still can't believe I was up to my knees in places in water!

I got the second session completed on my back on Saturday. Bob (my tattooist) started to shade my warrior in and it looks awesome but my back is sore, it feels like I have been sunburnt. So far I have had 5 and a half hours of tattooing on my back and has cost £300 up to now. I just want to keep a record of the hours and the cost as so many people ask me how much I have spent on being tattooed that I forget. As I have posed that question I guess now that I am coming towards £2000 and a good 20 plus hours of work. I have got a long way to go yet towards my full bodysuit!
