Last weekend I prepared some homemade meat pies, something i've been wanting to do for some time now.
Inside there was a combination of beef, mushrooms, onions, carrots, stock, red wine, rosemary, thyme, all slow cooked for about 4 hours, not following any particular recipe, encased in sour cream pastry, topped off with puff pastry.

I've had the Lego minifigure on my old laptop for some time now. It has served me for a good 4 years or so, now I wanted to try something different. While browsing around the many vinyl decal websites that provider stickers for laptops, I kept getting the idea in my head to do something custom and unique that people haven't seen before.

Throwing myself into the deep end, that's how I feel right now.
Over the past couple of months i've been thinking to myself how fun it would be to start riding a skateboard, the main drive of this idea being my commute to work that has about 20 minutes of walking every day, so why not try an alternate means of transport?
Therefore I went down to my local store and picked up a skateboard and some shoes on Saturday.
Spending a bit of time on the board and starting getting used to it, i've already fallen a couple of times as to be expected. This is the first time i've ever tried skateboarding.
I have to admit, i'm not sure how i'm going to do, it still feels really sketchy when I get on the board. It's freaking me out a bit. Will I be able to get the knack of it?
I'm hoping that if I take it to work with me every day and just keep at it, I will start to feel better and better and gain confidence. I'll tentatively say that i'll post an update in 1 month.
