So welcome to another attempt by me to re-enter the blogging sphere. I've had around 8 months off and I'm looking forward to re-entering this world in order to do several things. So here is a kind of Gr8t Escape manifesto -
1. I plan to use this blog to record my attempts to return to teaching overseas. The highs and lows, thoughts and feelings and emotional venting.
2. I also aim to cast an eye on and at the current society I find myself part of. This may take the form of political and social stories to my own observations about my own culture.
3. Finally I plan to use The Gr8t Escape as a blog for randomness. Randomness is a massive part of who I am so expect to find photos of a cat next to a story about Iraq. As long as it interests me then I will attempt to blog about it.
Lightening Strike!
My fathers house (where I am currently living ) was struck by a bolt of lightening a few weeks ago. I was upstairs reading the morning news on the interent before work, when there was a massive noise.
My sister, Kelly, who lives nearby claimed she has seen lightening sparking off the roof. Even the neighbours came round to check that my Dad was okay. The local paper picked up the story and ran a piece in the weekly edition that included a rather fetching picture of my Father, holding the destroyed electrical appliances.
It also knackered my computer which has been sent back to Sony and damaged the central heating in the house...
Lets hope it doesn't strike twice.
