funny how the past catches up >>

today I was asked to judge a competition, and it was a very interesting job indeed.
there are a very few people who have known me a long time that may remember I was a textile designer for a time after finishing art school. of course I have continued in the design field but to be asked to judge a textile competition was something I have never done before (the only thing I have been judging lately are surfing competitions).
I had such a difficult time deciding the winners, spending more time that I had set aside but it was such good fun and I have even got some ideas of my own from it.

I haven't got any pictures of it yet but when all the entrants & winners have been told I will try to get some pictures up.

firework night >> surfing on saturday

we had firework night sort of thing on saturday evening, after I had spent the day judging at the british nationals (kneeboard surfing) championships. it was an excellent competition with some quality surfing in good contest conditions. I was pleased to be part of it.

I like fireworks. I like surfing as well
