So its New years eve, and a full blue moon tonight. All a blue moon means is that its the second full moon in a month – it doesn’t happen too often.

The moon’s cycle is 29 and a half days. In a month with 31 days, there’s time to have two full moons in a month. Happens every year or so but its nice to have on a night where a lot of people may be out to be able to see it.

I don’t really have any plans for new year which is not so different to most years but usually by the eve I have something planned. So maybe i’ll just be home for it as so many places/people that I’d usually be out with are staying in without visitors. Shame really.

If your interested in the full moon or the moon phases heres a useful page: http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/time/moon/ that tells you the UK based ones.

Tonights full moon is at 19.15

My eye sight has got a lot worse over the last few years, I tend to wear contact lenses or my glasses whenever working, or driving. I’ve not been advised to wear while driving but now if trying to read something on my own its not in focus and not nice.

I dont always wear them, I can watch things without text without any issue – they seem in focus but maybe not quite as sharp as they could be. I never used to wear glasses or anything to correct the images. Maybe its over use of a computer or watching a screen to much – I don’t know what caused the issues just that they are here now.

It took me a long time to get used to putting lenses into my eyes. Often I would start to get it in and my eye would close so would end up nearly on the eye lid or dropped somewhere. Now its more that it gets stuck to my finger and wont connect to the eye which is annoying. Only takes seconds to get them out – never had an issue that way.

It must have been around 2 months before I could comfortably put lenses in – still takes me around 5 minutes some days, others about 30 seconds – to start with around 20 minutes or more so quite and improvement.

My balance also improved with the lenses. I was less dizzy and my trampolining improved greatly I was told and they wondered what was different – only thing was change to contacts… I’m glad I chose to do them, they give a lot of freedoms that glasses restrict you with.

Whats been happening in life, well it seems not much at first glance and the same answer I give to people asking “What have you been up too”. I work, I play, dance and enjoy. But in reality, quite a lot.

I’ve been focusing more on what I can do. How I can expand my knowledge and abilities. In dancing, I’m learning to salsa weekly now aswell as following learning things online using videos and stuff. Video is useful as can rewind and replay, but class is great as can be shown close up what and if I go wrong. All is fun.

On the computer, I am learning Adobe products & doing courses using distance learning. I’ve always wanted to learn photoshop & Flash and now I am slowly. The course will take something like 9 months but found other resources like adobe tv and seminars that adobe do on tuesdays and thursdays.

In other news I’ve had a meeting with business link on how i can adapt to take over the family business and how I can run it all from business management & staffing to finances and marketting.

Aswell as business link, i’ve met with people from the North East Chamber of Commerce (NECC) on how to get funding, do networking & training. Its a lot to take in but I’m getting more excited and interested the more I hear.

At trampolining I’ve started on sumasaults, I can get around and onto my feet in the rig but otherwise I kinda go splatt but its a start. I am also getting the chance to help others in trampolining – my assistant coaching qualification coming to use. Its amazing when people learn something you’ve taught them. Its better than payment in reality.
