Strike Factory

Hello people, I have still mostly been hibernating pretty much the last month, hating the cold so much. lol Not Well I attended Albions brilliant 3-0 win vs Pala*e their surge into the play offs, and been continuing to ensure Oxfam and St Catherines Hospice shops are the best charity shops in town! Plus saw the last bit of the World Marble Championships at the Greyhound, a fine Good Friday that saw some great tennis action and karaoke at the Greyhound on Good Friday (though had to return the next day to see replay of Murrays match win!).

Then there has been the complete amazement of Great Britain stunning Russia in the Davis Cup coming back from 2-0 down (something Team GB has not managed since 1930 the year before Fred Perry appeared on the tennis circuit!), thanks to victorys from underdogs James Ward and Dan Evans in the single rubbers and Fleming and Wimbledon Doubles Champion Jonny Marray in the doubles! We now go into the World Group play offs and if Andy Murray decides to play it gives Great Britain the chance for the first time since the days of Henman and Rusedski in the early 2000s of being in the World Group the Premier League of world team tennis!

Once it warms up the next week I should return to preparing for local regional walks, and maybe return to dating! Will keep you folks posted. Plus its World Autism awareness month continue to raise awareness, much like the way me and Ash Bradley tried to raise the issue at the Amex Stadium in the last week! :)

Well I went for a wonderful date in Canary Wharf about 2 weeks ago with a lovely girl from the land of Genghis Khan, we ventured around a few bars, and gave me chance to explore area that my father Mr Daniel Stanley Ball helped to build! Thanks Ariuna, and hopefully arrange another date in Brighton soon, and take things nice and slow! The cold snap meanwhile has hampered my Sussex country walk plans, and returns to long distance running.

Finally talking of dating noticed an interesting facebook page Very Bad Men of Crawley naming and shaming dodgy men in the town! I wonder how long before there is a Very Bad Women Of Crawley page considering the attitude of some girls in the town (hence why I usually prefer girls outside town. lol).

Its been a long time coming, but finally got round to it! The Albion are on the up in the play offs, and life for me been a little bit awkward but over rough patch and looking forward whether it was heating issues with the flat etc! I have been volunteering in establishing the new Oxfam shop in Crawley making it the greatest charity shop in Crawley, though still look a long way off the new facebook page etc things are going well! I have kept the mild depression under control and is disapearrng however had the mild stress of having to fill in form and getting help explaining about my mild autism and how it effects employment chances as I look set to get switched over to Employment Support Allowance in the work activity group facing anxious wait, and hopefully will get more help with finding that career business admin job, or I might go back to studying history or enhancing business admin qualifications at college/ uni!

Meanwhile winter is coming to and end and as it gets warmer I am going to go on some country walks and sample the best of the Sussex countryside with walks that range from treks through Winnie The Pooh country to strolls in the area of Arundel castle, I promise to give details of these fine walks as well as return to long distance running.

Finally regretfully I did not enter the Neighbours remixed competition to sing the new theme as I was too nervous about the tight competition however found a great drum n bass remix that I think should be the new theme featuring samples of Harold Bishop talking to Donna Freedman (aka Margot Robbie!) about his days rapping as 'Aphro Harold'.
